Selfish BUMP
thank you for posting
You don’t seem to be aware that those businesses tailor offers to frequent customers based on their shopping habits. If you show interest in certain types of merchandise, they’ll try to pique your interest in similar items or products related to the ones you purchase.
Awww...forget it. It IS all a big conspiracy, I’m one of them and we really are out to get you.
I hope this helps.
Genius!
Just remember. You’re completely unique, just like everyone else.
Genius...capitalism...different words that are so much alike!
Good post. Orwell predicted cameras spying on us in our homes but it turns out much worse. They have “cameras” into our inner most thoughts.
AH! so that explains why keep seeing all those ads for Japanese schoolgirl uniforms in adult mens’ sizses....ER....ah....nevermind.....
;)
google shmoogle never used it
LOL! I'll let Fujitsu know about that. Both of those keys on my keyboard are labeled "Enter".
Does anyone call them “return keys” any more?
Do we really need the Number Lock key any longer?
It’s like an appendix, a vestigial key that had some function a long time ago.
No, we don’t need a NUM LOCK key. But hey, the iPads and other pads come with no keys at all! We won!
What we do need is a DUMB LOCK key to lock out the dummies who visit every thread to announce to other posters that “You don’t seem to understand...” etc, because they do understand everything.
NumLock? Yep, use it daily. Multiple times.
What gets me is that I keep getting ads for single men in my area. I do not think they are even accurate ads—they are full of gorgeous men like Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, and I suspect that the local singles would be more likely to resemble Larry the Cable Guy—but that’s not important. I’m married. I don’t visit singles sites. Why, then, do I consistently and often see these ads, even at work?
A coworker said that it’s a good thing the ads aren’t showing me single *women*. That’s true. I happened to sit next to another woman in a class, and I glanced over at her computer screen. It showed ads of single women. Ouch.
BTW, there is a key marked “Enter” on my keyboard. But I do not have a return key.
I got Facebook confused. they show me dating site ads for young females, as well as those for seniors.
I know well how it works. It’s the combination of cookies on my comp which I fail to clean up in order to keep some of them that are useful (for such things as memory of past articles and for autologins) and which are impossible to isolate, and the info stored on the websites’ servers which we can’t affect. Perhaps this is an opportunity to develop an intelligent cookie cleaner.
