  • Delete it or use clearurl like another poster mentioned. The tokens in URLs can be used to transmit any sort of info about you to whatever server is serving the URL.

    The tokens don't always transmit personal info, sometimes it's mundane shit like "did this link get clicked from an email vs a partner website?" without any identifying info - but you can never be sure unless the tracking parameters are in plain text, like http://MyAwesomeAppsite.com/about?referral=email (There are more standard ones than this but you get the gist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_parameters)

    Most of the time the token is encoded though, in such a way that human won't understand what's being transmitted but the server will: http://MyAwesomeAppsite.com/about/a?qj277ebehkde0a72cb2a2c7

    Point is it's probably never useful for you to click a link like this.











  • We need to start distributing resources more effectively, not culling people. The majority of the human population consumes very little.

    When people talk about overpopulation they always want to get rid of people other than the ones in their own home country, strangely. When the advocates for such policies are in first world nations that consume considerably more than the people they want to get rid of.

    Let me ask you this: if you believe the earth has exceeded its carrying capacity, wouldn't your conclusion be to start getting rid of people or halting their reproduction? That's textbook eugenics...
