There's nothing in my Amazon shopping/search history, or any internet history that would make either of these two books on the right come up and be "suggested" for me. I'm SURE it's just a coincidence. Riiiiight.

Type too much, read too little.

Again-

I'm not trying to be rude. I read what you wrote about it not being part of Amazon shopping, search or internet history. But I'm politely telling you that you're wrong in your assumptions.

I don't know if you're dismissing my comment because of (1) your opinion of me (2) your confidence in how you 'think' technology works or (3) a combination of both.

Regardless of what the reason is for you thinking the way you think- I gave you the answer to your question (whether you accept it or not). You can believe whatever you want to believe and maybe there's a big government operation monitoring you (outside of your actions on the computer and trying to 'ensnare' you somehow by suggesting you purchase a book that you can already likely borrow from your local library)...

BUT- if you take a breath and start thinking with your brain and want to know the answer- it's the cookies in your browser's cache that's causing those recommendations.

Your response reminds me of a delayed bowel movement and how uncomfortable of a situation it creates in not immediately knowing the best path forward.
Bro, i dont want to ignore ya. Sometime you post good stuff. But here lately, your books are boring. And are stacking the threads with bs. In another book ya talk about social groups and something about staying off the couch. Which is good. But i think you’re on the internet too much. Go camping, disconnect from the internet a bit. Enjoy some life outside. Hell, do a few bar crawls. I’ll see ya there for sure!

Also please post a reply in 30 words or less 😆
