My UO is that, even though I'm pretty antsy about online privacy, I could not give half a fuck about whatever data Facebook sold to Cambridge Analytica. Or whoever. Good luck ever getting me to vote for Trump. Plus Facebook doesn't sell my actual data, so who gives a fuck really. I mean we spend so much time online. I go on basically 4 websites, this one included. It wouldn't be hard for essentially anyone to figure out my interests. Spoiler: Food blogs. Home blogs. Talking to you bitches. Reading the NYPost. The end. GDI, HE, you stole mine. I'm basically of the mind that anytime I go on the internet, I'm taking a risk. Data mining happens everywhere we go online. FB didn't do anything different than what thousands of sites do every day. The general user doesn't understand that. At all. And that's not just limited to the olds. It's every age.

There was a Cheryl's Cookies store in my hospital with DS2. I had my cookie breakfast, and then my real breakfast for 3 days in a row. I was absolutely living my best life. H's aunt and uncle always have these at their house. I ordered a dozen of the wedding cake flavor recently. Delicious

Related somewhat to the FB and online privacy thing, I actually like targeted marketing. I genuinely prefer that the my internet ads mostly show crap I might actually be interested in. I’ve been looking for light fixtures, and if random company throws their light fixture in my internet face and I fall in love, then they’ve just saved me some (metaphorical) legwork. I just wish I could tell mine that I have a ring now so they can move on from that one. Have you changed your relationship status? I mean on fb.

Breakfast is overrated. It takes too much effort to plan for a healthy breakfast. When I do, my stomach can’t even really deal with it. Apparently this is an UO according to the hospital staff. I’m totally down for coffee though! I used to share this same opinion until I hired a macro coach to help me gain lean muscle mass. She taught how important breakfast was in order to have a healthy metabolism. You really should eat breakfast, ideally within 30 minutes of waking up. I hate breakfast so I add 2 tablespoons of whey protein powder to a cup of coffee ×2. Fuel your body. Are you willing to share which protein powder you use? I would love to just add that to my coffee and be done with breakfast. ETA: see this was covered along with everything else I posted about. Sorry I didn’t feel like RTMFTBMFPBWTFBBQLOL today.

I'm still boycotting them for my Christmas cookie debacle. I paid $70 for cookies and chocolates I didn't want, plus they were late and I had to go out and purchase different ones for DS' daycare teachers and make a nice basket arrangement myself. I'm sure my boycott will stop right around Christmas 2018.

I just need people on my fb to stop sharing the tylenol recall from 2015. I see it at least once every couple months. Read the date, people!

Ok, so my family has asked that in lieu of flowers people make donations to the Cancer Institute that my father was treated at. No shit, we are not assuming everyone we know was going to send flowers, duh. I see this as the same thing. It's a common way to phrase an alternate request. This is how I see it too. Like if I wasn't going to buy a present already I would just think "this doesn't apply to me" and move on.

I’m reading this thread while eating my egg McMuffin while the baby takes a car nap, feeling very satisfied with my breakfast choices. That said, I am only halfway in and I hope you have moved on to more controversial topics by now.
Also, I drove by the giant flamingoes this morning and thought of this place.

People are outraged over FB, yet use their "shopper's card" at the grocery store, and then pay with a credit card. And then use a redcard at Target. Congratulations, three companies (plus whoever they sell their data to) now know your spending habits.

frantastic yes! There is a reason why my grocery coupons are so applicable on the app. They already know what I buy and how to persuade me to buy more of it.

I don’t have a problem with people asking me to donate to a charity. I’m also not a person who feels any guilt for saying no. Like when they ask me at petco if I want to donate a dollar to homeless pets—press the x and keep it moving. Same except I can never turn down St. Jude’s. It’s the one charity I always donate to if asked. DD just did a math-a-thon fundraiser for St. Jude's. She was really interested in learning about what it was and how it helped children and their families. She keeps talking about how we can help.

HilarityEnsued I just booked my dog sitter for my Hawaii trip this morning. The Hawaii trip is in 6 months. Because my dogs are old, I would rather they stay in their own home. Therefore, I have to book someone six months out so they can carve time out of their schedule to live with my dogs. For what I’m paying, I could book another Hawaii trip. Just another reason not to get a dog for your mental list (and wasabi ‘s actual list). My dogs are going to the pet hotel this weekend. Their "hotel room" costs twice what ours does per night.

Like others, I also don’t mind the contoured ad experience. My wallet does, but I never listen to her anyway 😉

Have you seen the ads for people's fundraisers? A lot of the ones I've seen basically try to guilt people into giving. And I think it's tacky to ask people to give money to charity in your honor for your birthday. Like, give your own damn money. I don't facebook, so no I haven't seen them. I think 99% of the shit on there is OTT, tacky, and eye roll worthy. If it bothers you, block them and move on. They can ask, but it's up to you as to whether or not you feel guilty. This reminds me of the south park episode that was along a similar vein. I unfollow or unfriend people with impunity. I take no prisoners. It has been so freeing.

I don’t like the idea of breakfast for dinner and will not make it.
The worst was a wedding I went to that had a buffet breakfast for dinner. They ran out of a lot before the last few tables went up to get their food.

Maybe this has been covered but why aren't y'all heating up your overnight oats? I do oats/apple sauce/cinnamon/and honey. Wake up, heat it and BAM BEST THING EVER. But why not just make your oatmeal fresh? 3 mins in the microwave. I put raspberries and cinnamon in my oatmeal before I microwaved it yesterday, then added apple sauce to cool it down a bit. It was so fucking delicious.
