For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    Is your family member Google Ad Sense?

    “I see you spent a week researching PSUs for your computer and I see that you finally bought one. Would you like to buy a PSU? because even though we know you bought one we’ll be showing you nothing but ads for PSUs for the foreseeable future.”

      Its really bad when you’re in your living room talking about PSUs, then all of a sudden the only adds you see online are about PSU’s.

        Yeah, I’d be all like, “wtf happened to my ad blocker!?”

        Speaking of which, if you talk about ad blockers in your living room, do you get ads for those?

        Why have you not violently disposed of your “smart” electronics that apparently permanently monitor you for amazons profit?

      Ad Sense doesn’t know you’ve made your purchase.
