...you're so far behind the times, it's comical. Yes, there are microphones around you transmitting the shit you say (or at least sentiment markers from it). Absolutely insane that there are people who don't believe this today.
A couple of years back, my sister and I were talking of buying some seeds for my mom, who's an avid gardener. Neither of us had looked anything up. Next things we browsed on our phones, unrelated to the subject, we were served a bunch of gardening ads.
Pretty damning evidence, if you ask me.
Your mom had Googled it. You got the ads because you were on her network.
No. We wete at my restaurant.
