I think them having all this info about you, is a way to get advertisers to pay them more for the targeted ads.

It’s not to help you or the advertisers, but themselves.

And I assume not a single advertiser has gone up to them with a well grounded: “bruh, dafuq are you doing showing fridge ads to the guy that just bought a fridge from us… that’s not what we are paying you for.”

I love a cool lifted truck, has nothing to do with my penis size. Also can’t afford one so I’ll never own one anyway.

So is the “nice job Matt” a sarcastic reply to the “Matt hung himself in MY office” mug? Or were they actually hopeful for him doing something good?

It depends per case, my friend kept studying while I dropped out (due to private circumstances).

My friend ended up at the same employer for the same pay only years later, he wasn’t a good fit for his field.

A few years later I jumped ship to try and develop myself into a better paid job, I am now an actual crane operator with a beefy wage. My friend is still there making the same low wage.

But he got lucky on a different matter, due to him living at home until 33 he did manage to buy a house with massive savings. I haven’t yet.

This is life, there aren’t any given certainties. Only people who claim their experience will be the same for you.

I miss those showers at home, where you didn’t need to care about bills as your parents protected you from those.

My showers easily ended up being 30min long, looking back I wish those bills still took a similar % of your income. I’d happily sink away into my empty brain under a steaming hot shower.

Woosh

I’m European and already figured this out the moment I got on the internet 🤣

If the yung-uns have no drive to turn back time and actually use and develop their brains, because my gen isn’t going to rescue them and the boomers have also fallen into the internet trap. It’s on them to save themselves, really.

If these trends keep going the way they are then idiocracy becomes reality.

They probably have been standardized, by every single brand independently😅

You know, how they usually go about things.

Ah yes, “it’s not taxed higher, just differently which means it’s higher”. Makes sense.

The average european has a good life, but the average person doesn’t exist outside of statistics.

I used to work 84h weeks as a European, overtime is taxed at a higher rate so the take home is lower than a regular working hour. But if you really want something out of life (like buying a house) you have to sacrifice everything if you’re just a normal worker.

Hell i sacrificed it all only to lose it to economic troubles and later again due to covid.

I’m not doing that again even though all my employers try to get me to work overtime, some even fired me for refusing to work overtime past the contractual 3h per week.

I somehow ended up making a decent wage at my current job, but i dislike the job so badly it’s not even funny anymore.

Because if you do that now, you’ll end up on a a.i. made website with some fever dreams for images which hold no real facts and or truths. Only half facts jumbled together with half truths into incomprehensible sentences which feel like a random combination of words that seem to be endless and unmemorizeable.

These type of posts give me the feeling people might start standing up for themselves more.

Not just a women problem, my own jeans are 32. My workout pants are M, my work pants are size 50.

Shoes should be standardized, i have pair of converse size 39 and a pair of nike jordan’s (possibly fake, not sure got them as a gift from a friend) size 44. I’m usually a 42 or 42,5.

That worked very well for me, turns out my job was far too boring and offered no challenges.

I made the mistake of not succesfully monetizing my workouts, because groceries got so expensive i had to stop my gym membership.

Have been a vegetable ever since, zero motivation and energy to do shit.

There it is, haha.

Gave me a good chuckle as i’m with you here.

I have a similar sentiment when it comes to ads, my device, i pay for the internet and the device is inside my home. I’ll decide if you get to show me ads.

When they keep firing more questions to try and get a respomse from me they are actually just breaking me.

I also can not deal with 2 people talking to me at the same time.

Leave me alone, i’m trying to struggle in silence.

I was a silly goose once, expecting people to show up for my birthday…so i ordered 3 cakes.

We ended up eating all 3 in 2 days with just the two of us.

Ads are out of control, they fill my day.

My home, my rules. Ads are not allowed on the devices i BOUGHT.

99% of the targeted ads i get tend to be targeted at someone who has a family and makes 3 times my wage, so you’re wasting business resources for your own gain and wasting my time by serving them to me.

So fuck off outta my house.
