Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Linky

It's all about "retargeting dollars."
I'm still trying to make sense of this all since I just woke up lol.

"Here's how it will work: If you're browsing on Amazon but decide not to buy that DVD of "Star Wars," Amazon will drop a tracking cookie on your browser. When you go elsewhere in Amazon's exchange network -- which includes Amazon, IMDb, DPReview, and various ad exchanges and publishers that Amazon has a relationship with -- you might see an ad pop up offering you another chance to buy "Star Wars."

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Look at all these stalkers, telling me what to buy.

Eh fine. I don't mind. I use Adblock anyways unless I'm on Youtube. Amazon already has that on their site, they are just putting it onto more of their own sites. Which is fine, I won't be seeing those ads anyways and if I was I'd prefer an ad of something I want to look at than a video of Oxi-Clean.

I never go on Amazon. Ads don't bother me either. I know it does for some people because they "paid for the service" or whatever they want to call it. They get mad due to the extra ads. But me, I don't mind. I just think Amazon is being smart with marketing I guess.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

The best thing for that is to not make a google account. If you don't make an account, it doesn't tie everything to you.

But after 180 days they delete your searches but they store your data anonymously.
