    There was a article years ago. A young woman started getting Target coupons for diapers and baby formula. A few weeks later she found out she was pregnant. She had been using her loyalty card to make purchases and had bought unscented hand cream and some other low perfume things that apparently are usually purchased by people who are expecting as their sense of smell becomes heightened and the sents become overwhelming.

    Honestly I’d like to see a ban on targeted pharmaceutical advertisement. Prescription medication should be between you and your doctor.

      The republicans would love this technology but they’re to busy trying to figure out how to turn on their TV. What’s the wire thing in the back of it supposed to do? What about the little black brick with letters on it? It doesn’t even say anything useful like WTF is 123? 456? 789? I get it seven ate nine! It gets this one, its funny 🤣! Anyway it will take some time before the republicans could make use of tech like that… unless evil people help them.

        Ohh, there’s plenty of IT people that are Republican. There are just less IT jobs in the rural areas.

        Also most medium- plus sized businesses have conservative-minded owners and they all need IT staff either in-house or rental.

    Before I even knew I had gonorrhea, Alexa was recommending me penicillin. She also recommended I stay away from the local brothels. And to lay off the whiskey. Also, Alexa is my doctor.
