The new joint venture said in its updated privacy terms that it may now "collect precise location data, depending on your settings" - a change from the previous policy which allowed for the collection of "approximate" location data.

Oracle is chaired by Larry Ellison, a Republican megadonor and longtime ally of US President Donald Trump, whose administration helped broker the US TikTok deal. ...

No you fucking turd, I am stating the obvious, a couple of hard claps celebrating the killing
I am sure he had his blood up, I am sure he has been on edge for days dealing with the stress of MN
He was able to release some of that stress by the killing, thus the claps
Can you provide ANY logical or reasonable justification for clapping after what he literally just witnessed?
was he swatting flies? Was he trying to warm his hands?
Come on jeff be a man
