I hear there's this thing called SOAP that works quite well...
What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

Hey now, don't go buyin' into the propaganda of Big Soap.
Well, yes it does, but SOAP can be tricky to implement if you don't know what you're doing.
Seriously, though, soap can dry out your skin. I actually use Neutrogena cleanser, although I've never felt the need to buy it online. (And that's actually a brand outlier for me, since all my other facial products are Nivea.)
My old tablet fell down a bit too often in the three years I used it, and doesn't work right anymore. Therefore, I bought a new one, on eBay. And Google AdSense now thinks that I immediately need another one.
I know, right? I'm mystified as to what I did to make this algorithm think I want to date Arab women.
I mean, I have no problem with that in itself, but my tastes run towards blonde and Swedish, so it
clearly isn't in my porn search history....
Oops, was that TMI....?
Seriously, I have stopped wondering about how these things are presented to us 'consumers'.
My mind's eye doesn't even see them anymore, their just there, like that pile of poop
on your lawn that your neighbor won't admit to his dog producing.
Yes! I also have grown used to tuning out advertisements. This particular one was rather large and had a big picture of a pregnant woman with another small child. Was pretty hard to ignore. An Arab dating site I can understand, being a cultural thing. I didn't realize there was a market though for people specifically looking for moms!
It takes all kinds, I guess.
Coffee Machines - They really don't know me
I think the appeal is that if she is pregnant than it means she has sex, Human psychology can be really silly at times. Reminds me of that "Seinfeld" joke about why they find maids to be hot. It's because they are in your bedroom. I'm sure some desire for family also figures into the mix. Being with someone who is pregnant is a common thing in marriage and marriage equals family.

Tried to stick the screen down and now it had gone rogue on me and brings up pages I don't want it to. I need to buy a new one but I just don't want to spend the money.
A free ticket to what the ad does not tell what (that's a bizarre one), another hotel franchise, and a "Fan ID" for visa-free travel to Russia for the FIFA World Cup. So, now Google AdSense not only thinks I'm planning a trip, it also thinks I'm interested in football. Soccer, that is.
I get the impression the collecting and analyzing of personal data by Google is not as sophisticated as we're made to believe.

They might be watching you through your webcam, and you are unaware they activated it
remotely...
