Considering in ancient times, your location was well known.

Everyone knew if you left a village, everyone knew where you went.

There seems to be a short time, where human population has exploded beyond any ability to track everyones location. But then we got a really useful GPS and wifi system.

I don't mind if people know I'm on a freeway, I do mind if laws are bad.

So whats your address since you don't seem to mind any stranger knowing?

Its on my website (in profile).

Its also on a bunch of lists because I signed a petition.

i dont so if youre interested here you go:

6 Victoria Warehouse, wolves, WV1 4LG

anyone i buy something from on ebay gets it, countless websites get it, even random goons ive sold stuff to on gumtree get it so why should i care if its known by anyone else, as far as im aware no one is out to get me so im not exactly worried

not even just ancient times, in anything smaller than a town this was common as recently as the 80s, i grew up in a little village in cornwall and everyone knew everyones business.

would it not appear more suspicious to not be on it than to be on it? if you have to go t lengths that require a guide to sto it then it means you have to go to special effort and if youre doing that its likely because you ave something to hide

it reminds me of the guys you see dressed in matching 3 stripe track suits with little shoulder bags and a nokia dumbphone, they think theyre somehow avoiding some sort of tracking by using that crappy old nokia when in fact theyve only managed to make it obvious to everyone around the that theyre dealing drugs
