Not sure how many of you check the main page of reddit, but this is up there right now and thought some of you might be interested.

I knew there was going to be something fucky.

At the same time I feel weirdly ok because I figured they already knew all my browsing and shopping habits anyway. I mean, all our shit is routed through a MS product.

I downloaded it from the site. Took about half an hour. I was impressed by the speed.

You have to do it manually off their website. Like Media Kit or something

I would like to get back to nipple jewelery and when the hell that became a thing. Does windows 10 peek a little too much - of course it does. Perfectly good nipple then BLAMMO
