Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don't know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

video games you’ll actually play

Goodness, me. I wish. Steam sure is good at selling me games that make me feel like I really want to have that experience though! Once it's bought, they did their job.

I've yet to see any ads for "How to spend time enjoying a thing just for yourself without feeling guilty and anxious that you're being left socioeconomically behind and the next (un)planned economic downturn will ruin everything for sure this time."

So... y'know they could be doing a better job. Lol

Also $10 is $10... nobody's personally selling it, it's just floating around and it could be bought if the Islamic Jihad wanted it LOL.

I'm more concerned about things like, selling my data like vehicle usage or DNA to insurance companies who would use that data against me.
