    Okay not shy. Use private browsing on firefox sometimes. Not shy, just bisexual and don’t want my algorithm assuming I’m strictly homosexual because of one femboy wank. Do you know how long it takes to un-step sibling that thing for heterosexual porn?

      I mostly use pricey mode as a simple housekeeping tool. “This cache is temporary. These cookies are temporary. Autocompletes are not to pollute my day to day use. Kill this data when I close the window”

      I honestly don’t care about people knowing I look at porn. I hate that it will constantly pop up when it’s not what I’m trying to do at the time.

        The last time I trusted “the algorithm” was about 10 years ago when my friend sent me a link to a plastic ass sex toy. I clicked it without realising what it was.

        I cleared cache/cookies/reinstalled and shit a few times and it was still popping up on banner ads.

          Before I figured out DNS adblocking I clicked on an ad for a golden top my news app served because I thought it for sure it was a clever ad for some parody site. Nope, turns out you can buy executive desk toys tops for like 200 bucks, and for months my app thought I was really into expensive office kitsch.

            Get really into 3D printing like I did. Then all your cheap-looking plastic crap can actually be expensive office kitsch in disguise.

      I have thoroughly confused many algorithms over the years. They still don’t understand. Hell, sometimes, even I don’t understand. I’m constantly finding new surprises. Like one time I was just chatting with a friend and she somehow figured out before I had any idea then she started bullying me and I basically for two years but now I’m not I swear
