Picture for the last 10-20 years can look quite similar without any real identification of the time. I sometimes play a daily game that gives you an image and you have to guess the time taken and place. Anything from the last 20 years shot on a camera and without any visible technology and just some random people and buildings can be quite indistinct. Could be 2004 or 2024. Hard to tell.
IMO it's even worse. At least when playing a game you are using more of your brain. You train hand eye coordination. You can solve puzzles, train reflexes...
Watching movies or doomscrolling just does nothing.
I am convinced they do listen. I have had 2 instances og this. Once I was talking with my mom about some new bedsheets and covers. She later went to the store and sent me a picture to see if it's okay. I later got an add for the exact same bedsheets and covers.
Had another similar thing when I got an add for some stuff we were just talking about with some people. Cannot remember what specifically.
Fuck you and have a nice day.
