Yesterday, on a woodworking forum, I commented on small handheld wood routers. Promptly this morning, on the Fox News app, there’s an ad to sell me a small handheld wood router. Just further confirmation that our personal information and wants and needs are ‘out there’ for sale, use, or examination by the government or whoever pays for it.
If you wanted to keep a low profile, you failed, as did I. Maybe I should work up a short list of things I think that are NOT known about me. There are a few things.
But since my wife just ordered me some jockey shorts, even my waist size and the fact that I wear double D underwire jockey shorts are on the web. I suppose sex starved women will be texting soon. Can’t blame them...
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

I don't know that I would call it sharing, maybe stealing, pilfering, swiping or thieving?

Use duck duck go, turn off tracking on your browser, and use a VPN -- it will cut down on a lot of it

Im sure this will go 3 pages minimum. Only one post an hour so far so I dont know. I used to wanna grow up to be like Ox but now its 603. The beer commercial about the most interesting man alive comes to mind.

Ahhhh........................ That explains, why I keep getting advertising, from hookers........... True story on a forum I used to moderate....guy posted a help thread bitching about all the porn ads he kept seeing on the banners of the website. I kindly reminded him that forum used google ad packages which were based off his search history/email.....didn’t hear another word about it after that.
