I rented “Exodus: Gods and Kings” from the Redbox, and mind you, I’ve NEVER mentioned anything of it on Facebook before.  I only had the DVD menu playing in the background as I was researching various stuff.  Thought the soundtrack sounded cool so far, though I hadn’t even started it!

Anyway, I made a brief Facebook comment on a news article (I’m rarely on it, but I’ll say things every once and a while), and afterward it had a list of “recommended” pages to like…one of which was a fan page for “Exodus: Gods and Kings!”

This has happened before, when friends of mine and I were talking about Tropical Storm Allison, and I decided to look it up.  All I typed in was “tr” and Google suggested “Tropical Storm Allison” in that auto-fill box thing…

This can’t be a coincidence…can it?

Also remember the more people search a topic, the more likely it will come up on auto-complete…I think at least.

An alarm of sorts to recognize female vocal patterns (high, whiney, ending in questions, prolonged silence, same questions etc.). Great topic though, always assumed the camera was hot, hadn’t considered the mic.  If “Oh all these credit card bills are so unfair” causes a tampon ad pop up, IMO it’s a clincher.

But wait, there’s more! They cheerfully turn it over to the govt:

While I’m at it, your bank does the same thing and so does the drivers licence agency.

But don’t worry; it’s all for our own good.

Diff PC, 3,000 miles away in a diff state, diff internet, yadda, yadda. I have a very basic name, might as well be a john doe. This is where things got weird (BTW, the page has nothing to do with…me) It came up with friend suggestions; EVERYONE I served in the military with…no s~~~! and old roommates when I got out. the hairs on the back of my head stood up; like how the f~~~!? so I googled it, many others claim this “phenomenon” as well, even ppl that just made one had friend suggestions they met 10yrs ago in a different country on vacation. “well, those ppl looked you up” HOW? there’s a million john doe’s…how did it come up with ppl I ran into; it’s not even a personal account! F~~~ that, no way. Evil technology floating around.
