Cloud storage and auto syncing is getting to be the default for smart phones. I turn that shit off first thing when I get a new phone.

Boo. This thread has a misleading title.

I did that back when all I had to go on was one post and an avatar. Well before whatever this is.

I wouldn't have done it today.

I cannot believe you lead me astray :'(

I don't think I can follow you around repping people you rep anymorez. :p
This guy....well...I hate to take back a rep but dang.

Maybe this is insensitive but, if you don't want nude pictures of yourself to exist, don't take naked pictures and put them on your computer. Not sure what a cloud is, but I'm assuming it's connected to the internet in some way, if not then maybe my objection is a bit off base. However, you can't really expect privacy online when it comes to pictures online, everything on the internet is forever on the internet. Once a picture of you is on the internet, in some ways it belongs to the internet and that bothers a lot of people.

Well, we were talking about photos online, not suicide. Keep them goalposts steady there, bud. Have any of these stars killed themselves over this, anyway?

If you're arguing that the photo accounts being hacked caused the suicidal depression, then I revert to my prescription to not put the photos online.

The easy solution means it's pretty much a first-world problem, to me.

First world problems is simply a phrase we use when commenting on complaints about minor things that are just slightly annoying or awkward. Having nude pictures of yourself stolen, copied and distributed across the internet, is neither merely annoying or awkward.

Thanks for the pedantry, Captain Obvious.

Myself, I think it is indeed a first-world problem. I've already explained why. Additionally, having nudes of yourself circulated are no big deal. We all have the same tackle, after all.

What?

Starvation happens in the third world, right? That is a third world problem. As I've already posted, the reason why I think the whining of these stars is a first world problem is because there is a simple solution to it: don't put your nudes online.

The reason why starvation is a third world problem is because it is not amenable to easy solutions, and it kills millions of people annually, unlike Mary-jane Rottencrotch's Photobucket getting hacked.

Perspective. Try it some time.

He only got where he did because he had a famous dad. So in modern terms, yeah he would count as a celebrity.

... but not until he had a sex-tape released, probably with a member of Poison.

The goal posts are exactly where they should be. None of these celebrities have killed themselves over stuff like this but ordinary people have. A first world problem that leads to death isn't a first world problem.

Thank you captain hindsight. However, in this case with the icloud, photos automatically get uploaded, so they didn't deliberately post them online.

So you define first world problems by how easy they are to solve? Well I guess that starvation is a first world problem then? Since it's so easy to cure. How about disease, they still have polio in some countries in africa, but its so simple and easy to prevent.

Whereas I judge problems by the outcomes. Starvation and disease are third world problems because they have serious consequences, mainly death.

Well then, I expect you to post nude pictures of yourself to all your friends and family. You are going to do it right? Since you don't care.

Well I disagree, I think starvation is a third world problem because of its effects, not how easily its fixed.

I understood everything Greed was saying.
He was trying to say to Bad Wolf, 'let's start over and not be enemies.'
Anybody else see that?
That's not an easy thing to do and I think it is a good quality to have.

Just sayin.
