quote:

An Ode to Courage: Innovators are often put down because people are scared and they don’t understand. We are bold innovators and sending big waves into motion and we will not apologize for that because we love you enough to give you this gift. We know you are amazing, special, and unique individuals and most likely would never shout that from the rooftops. The people who know you will though…they choose to be around you and in your life and support you even when you don’t like yourself.

We have come so far as a society but in a digital world we are becoming so disconnected and lonely. You deserve better and to have more abundance, joy, and real authentic connections. You deserve to make better decisions with more information to protect your children and your biggest assets. You have worked so hard to get the reputation you have among the people that know you. As innovators we want to make your life better and have the opportunity to prove how great it feels to be loved by so many in a public space. We are a positivity app launching in November 2015. Whether you love us or our concept or not; we still welcome everyone to explore this online village of love and abundance for all.

Such people got 7.9 million dollar in funding for the App, I guess there really is a bay area tech bubble

They are probably just taking the sweet cash and probably not actually programming because it's clearly a bad idea to make this

Because in a tech bubble VC runs out of promising investments and just ends up throwing money at any sort of new app idea.

Yeah if I'm being perfectly honest this is more just funny to me than anything worrying because I'm just not a dick to people irl and people seem to generally like me in a friendly manner.

p much. I don't like it necessarily but most of the population is apathetic at best about it so it seems like that's the march of the future. Better just get used to it and never scream at anyone in public or whatever lest a video of it gets posted for the entire nation to laugh at.

Again though it's not like I do that poo poo anyway so whatever tbh. 'The public' doesn't have the ability to arrest me for frivolous bullshit like the government can.

Attn helicopter moms, the sex offender registry is public

Just check it and if a person isn't on there they are not a sex offender, you don't have to establish an Anonymous Abuse Engine to determine who is and is not a pedophile. you're welcome

That's the difference between this and, eg, Facebook: you don't willingly give away poo poo, someone else who is mad at you and has your phone number gives it away for you

Zuckerberg found this hilarious when he first started facebook. He laughed on how dumbasses to use his own words gladly gave up personnel information such as birthday or city just to register for the website.
