Given the shadow profiles they keep on people who have no account, I think it’s safer to assume the do facial recognition on everyone always.

I grew up pre-gay marriage with a lot of family friends who were gay and in longterm relationships, often with children. The amount of legal paperwork they’d carry day-to-day, and the decisions they’d have to make about traveling for fear of not being recognized as partners (or parents!) during medical emergencies was…

I got numbness and weakness on one side and slurred my speech, when I first got migraines. If I’d been old enough to know what a stroke was I’d have been terrified.

Could be worth asking your physician. Although, honestly, an epilepsy diagnosis can be limiting and the meds are nasty, so I’m not sure it is worth looking into unless you think you actively have seizures.

I wonder if people with HPPD are just people with migraine or epilepsy auras that come without an easily-identifiable migraine/seizure. Epilepsy is often undiagnosed, and in my own family migraines often occur without the headache.

Create large EMP, and take stuff out for everyone around you?

All my friends and family who have worked for MS say they’ve never worked anywhere so completely paranoid about getting too big.

I can totally fix my SE into most of my back pockets. The front ones, however, are fake.

Right?? What a bizarre comment. Do they not realize that huge companies hire employees?

I half expect her to announce a run for president....
