That’s not blocking them from tracking you. You’re only blocking yourself from seeing the ads they’ve chosen to show you based on the tracking they’ve already done.

Craigslist still exists though. We could just… bring it back by using it again. As a bonus, it’s not an app so it doesn’t track you.

Why would people oppose fiber?

Well it can be trickier than you might think. The general advice is to get 30 grams a day. I tried that, and I ended up having to overeat by quite a bit to achieve that number. Then I realized that number was not meant for me, it was for men who are at least twice my size. I probably only need 15 grams a day, which I was probably already getting. But that “30 grams” recommendation is everywhere. There’s also two different types of fiber, and you might need more of one than the other depending on your individual biome. I think most people would benefit from a more tailored recommendation or plan.

I also have a theory that fiber does not interact well with IBS, and that there may be some number of folks who don’t know they have it. Personally, I can’t digest leafy greens at all. I would eat them if I could, because it often feels like some personal failure and that I’m going to die early since I can’t. But if the undigested bits get stuck in my intestinal pockets, I end up in the hospital. 🤷

I’m not in one of those states, but Google recently told me they couldn’t verify that I was an adult… for my business account that Google definitely knows is a business.

So they changed some of my settings, which basically amounted to them tracking me less and not personalizing ads for me. I think I’m just going to leave it. Apparently you don’t need to be an adult to run their business analytics or advertise with them or whatever. Somehow they seem to know that my personal account belongs to an adult. All my accounts are linked and under the same name, so I’m not sure why they can’t figure out the other two.

A third party delivery service doesn’t even need to contract with with the restaurant to sell their food. They can create their own website, food descriptions, and price markups, and the restaurant might not even know they’re doing it.
