But then wouldn’t I have been seeing lots of other random ads related to products she was interested in? I would have noticed if that happened. Maybe not every single time; but over time I would notice the pattern that I occasionally get ads served to me that remind me of stuff that she googles sometimes. That was not…

In summary, it’s way, WAY worse than just listening to you: it knows where you live, who your friends are, when you’re all together, what you read, what you bought, what you watched, what you played, for how long you did all those things. Listening would be an unecessary drop in a large overfilled bucket of…

‘Trust us we don’t do that’ is difficult to accept from any corporation. I just want to skip a couple of years to the Frontline episode where we find out the lies.

I was sick last week. I had a conversation with my girlfriend over the phone of investing in a home sauna. Why is there a home sauna ad on my Instagram feed? I didn’t do any Amazon or Google searches or Facebook related app searches for anything to do with saunas.

idk man, i have lived a handful of times where i talked about a product outloud with someone and without me having to look up said product on my phone, that brand showed up on my Instagram feed. It CANNOT be a coincidence.

I feel this too. I literally didn’t go to college because I was so concerned about my ability to pay back these loans. I credit my parents for instilling that generational“fear of money” that comes with their rural upbringing.

17/18 year olds making these decisions also often haven’t been given adequate financial knowledge to know if they’re making the wrong decision.

Um, can’t you just print your online statement and then scan it into a pdf document, or better yet, print to pdf? I’ll admit that seems pretty convoluted, but it isn’t hard or anything.

The biggest problem with student debt forgiveness, in my opinion, is it does absolutely nothing to address the cost of higher education and what caused this in the first place.

I’m not even convinced these are real people. Seriously, who even asks if people who spit outside also spit indoors? Literally no one does that.

To be fair, he is making a rebuttal to a stupid article

In addition to seeing people spit on the sidewalk in real time, I avoid fresh spit on the sidewalk as I walk from my apt to car/car to apt/car to office/office to car.

This has got to be the silliest rant ever. No one is getting Covid from spit on the ground and if you do, you’ve got other issues which are much grosser than spitting. You’re obviously not someone who exercises outside much because as you can see from other commenters, it’s pretty much a necessity during exercise at…

I’m sorry, if you’re licking the ground, which apparently you are if you’re worried about people spitting on it (if only that), there are far worse things than covid to worry about.

You carry a toilet around with you?

Dog shit on the sidewalk, whether or not it’s picked up, is at least as big a health issue.

Ah yes, life’s big question going back through history...

Just do what anyone does on a college or university campus when someone beside you suddenly becomes violently ill into a flowerbed or the lawn.....

Well, all of this is because there are no spittoons!
