Beck is actually being a voice of reason in some of the Trump threads at the moment. I thank her for that. ---

Beck really doesn’t like it when someone doesn’t do as she tell them. In the “I Hate Subway!” thread, 4 times Ellecram very politely explains that she won’t use fast food apps. Each time Beckdawrek harangues her about why it’s okay to sign up to let companies track you (because they’re already doing it!) and how much she could be saving (despite Ellencram telling her she rarely goes to fast food places). Finally Ellecram says she doesn’t mind paying more, but she’s not going to use an app. So Beck, of course, has to get in the last word, and ends it with a scolding, bitchy, > Ok. > > Waste not, want not. Classic. ---

You really are bored. I was really very nice, TYVM. I just find it silly people don’t use shortcuts when they’re easily available and perfectly safe. _We All know APPs are safe!_ I find you calling me bitchy and scolding offensive. When I was neither. Check yourself, yeah, another classic. ---

I was being neither. I can be…I have been. I will take the name calling, for what it is worth, when I am. Needscoffee just likes to pick on people outta boredom, I guess. I cannot understand why else they take every opportunity to try and disparage me. Every chance they can. I hate to think there’s a more nefarious intent. ---

Yeah, I’m laughing too. Maybe you’ll leave me alone. So, so predictable. This is me not giving a shit. ---

In telling Back that red light cameras are maybe not the thing she is talking about > [@I hate Subway!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hate-subway/1010083/105): > > I’ll not reply anymore. This is a hijack. So more of I’ve said my piece so the discussion is over. And not part of the mild pitting, but it was odd to see her advocate that everyone should use apps and let them datamine you but in the same thread expressing paranoia over red light cameras and getting info off your license plate. ---

One is private companies [so good, by default] the other is government entities [so evil by default]? I’m not guessing at Beck’s reasoning, just the reasoning I often hear from “libertarians” ---

But with warrantless searches, data collected by private corporations are just one “request” from being in government hands. ---

I would be thrilled to be pitted so mildy. When pitted, and I was and rightfully so, I disappeared. If you have to post This is me not giving a shit, it is proof one does give a shit. Exits thread… ---
