Not me specifically - generally where you are and what you're taking about (phone location and general conversation).

I don't think anyone specifically is actually listening to me. I think it's automated marketing gone wild.

I was talking to my friend how much I've been craving lobster 2 days ago. They now have lobster at my grocery store - they haven't had lobster in years. Last winter I was talking about how much I like goose over Turkey for Christmas dinner and suddenly they had frozen goose and they literally never had goose before.

Am I being targeted or am I paying more attention or am I just being paranoid?

If the bots are listening, bring back lamb. I'll buy lamb chops.

sacrifices had to be made when turning the country ~100º counter clockwise to get that sweet inland sea between them and Spain

I still think of doing things "Dick hard and retard strong". Offensive sure, but my former roommate used to always use it as 'doing something reckless and not thought out but with full intent full steam ahead regardless of consequences'.

Edit: not even regardless of consequences, consequences were never part of the equation

Nope it's real. She talks about it in interviews. Sounds like she was kinda gung-ho for the lulz

I've been wanting to get solar for years but my indecisiveness kept me from pulling the trigger.

I finally bought (not leased) solar panels - I just said "yes" to a flashy sales person.

I over paid for sure, but it's still cheaper monthly than I pay for grid electricity. I guess it's a win but I could have saved a lot of money if I shopped around (I've checked since) and actually did anything more than "think about it".

I get where OP is coming from overall, but that's kinda been Futurama's thing. Other places it's shoe horned in and lazy but that's been like half of Futurama's episodes (and the vast majority of South Park) since the beginning.

That being said, I do think the quality of TV has been going downhill for years and few things seem to really be original anymore.

Not to sound like an asshole, but tf is a flexitarian? I personally mostly eat veggies but meat isn't off the table, I think of myself as an omnivore. Am I missing something?

Also, Beyond is my favorite veggie-meat - it's close enough but not quite spot on. Impossible doesn't taste quite right to me but I can't put my finger on why.

I appreciate opposing/different views as long as everyone is reasonable. That sub wasn't void of trolls but it seemed to be more or less balanced (not to be confused with /r/askaconservative). I still lurk but I refuse to interact on Reddit.

If I had a dollar for every time I proposed spending more time on something to make it flexible and able to grow but being told to "hard code it" to save time, I'd have several dollars. If I had a dollar for every time I had to patch that 6 months later, I'd have several more dollars.

I live in the desert so its usually a dry heat so I get to use a evaporative/swamp cooler. It uses way less electricity than the AC. I just have to crack open a few windows across the house and turn on a fan in the hallway and it gets quite cool and doesn't get too humid inside. It hit 110ºF (43ºC) today and it never got above 72ºF (22ºC) inside.

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

I can start - The first time I did coke was with the wrong people. They thought me how to make it into crack and within a week that was the first (and only) time I smoked crack.

I stopped hanging out with that crowd because they were bad news and I'm not about that.

I'm currently on Connect for Lemmy and I mostly like it but it's buggy (new app so I'll be forgiving - but once you search for something you can't back out unless you close the app). Summit is fine but there's no way to see your profile and jerboa doesn't seem to have a way to log in.

I know it's early days but are there any other well rounded apps I should try?

Edit: I'm a dummy, in Jerboa there is a down Caret next to "anonymous" at the top on the slide out menu. That's how you log in

I (38 m) still have a blanky I sleep with - mostly because my cat will only sleep in my bed if it's there, she will (mostly) only sit in my lap if it's there and she pretty much just hangs out in whatever room it's in... Yeah... It's her blankly, I'm just its mode of transport to make sure she hangs out with me.
