Huh, I wonder if I should share intimate potentially embarrassing and blackmail worthy details with some random tech company who had an app

Blackmail? There’s an app for that!

Blackmailr? Shoot, sign me up! Intake question 1: Have you ever whacked it on a plane to join the “half-mile-high club?”

My cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control. So he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of a sudden, the hydraulics kick back in, and the plane rights itself. It lands safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever you know, away and deboard. Nobody mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.

If they never shared the story, how in fuck did Brodie know‽

I figure he means they all shuffled off the plane looking at the floor. Unless they all kept in touch after beating off together on a plane they have no way to know if anyone told someone else afterwards.

Eyewitness testimony.

Well, that depends, are they also charging you a ludicrous sum of money each month? It would make me feel a lot more confident sharing my intimate details if they also required my credit card. The only thing that could set my mind more at ease would be extensive biometrics
