Oooh it's a bull's-eye! I was getting all sentimental with the twinkle in the eye and how even cows appreciate beauty... It's a freaking pun 😂

This is amazing. I have an ultra wide monitor at work and I've always wished I could break it into thirds

Wow this is amazing. My dad and I used to compete against each other to get the highest score on our old PC. Thanks for the recommendation

It's very versatile though. Every time my wife asks "why does it xyz?", in my most dramatic voice "because it was real"

She hates it lol

Maybe when he's waffling on going into the door of the dead? I can't remember if he says Legolas or Aragorn though

Kinda reminds me of the Bone comics by Jeff Smith. I don't know if they were popular or not but I used to get them from the library all the time as a kid

Ok I have a question. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to privacy. I'll follow the guides and do the things to try to minimize ad companies selling my data etc.

Some basic stats: I have a Samsung running stock android. My GF has an iPhone. I use brave as my standard browser (I know that's not super popular but I haven't made the move to Firefox yet.) I have DNS level ad blocking on my router cause I hate ads with a passion. She uses safari.

So here's the deal. I was browsing the web looking for gift ideas for Christmas and came across some moccasins I liked. I mentioned to her that I liked them and browsed their website for a few minutes.

About 10 minutes after that, she's checking her Instagram and sees an ad for the exact brand of moccasin I just told her about. Just for kicks, she also checks her Facebook and sees the same ad there (makes sense cause it's the same company).

My question is basically how on earth did she get an ad for something I looked up? And how can we prevent that from happening? It's very very disconcerting to have ads pop up on others' phones right after looking that thing up.
