Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.

I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

I don't know why the USA doesn't just put bike lanes in the side walks

Google basically uses the same tricks "mind readers" do except they have a lot more information. They don't need to read your thoughts or listen in to your conversations. If you start looking at cribs online they're going to send you ads breast pumps in a few months followed by baby food makers 6 months later.

That doesn't scare me, because I know full well that neuroscience is nowhere near advanced enough to read minds.

When that day comes, however…

Neuroscience, not yet. Data science absolutely is though.

omg YES. So weird and creepy. And not just ads...Youtube recommendations, fluff news stories, songs you didn't know existed.....

this meme is kinda meta for me too 💀 because I wondered who else experiences this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

YES!!!! I had this happen to me. I never mentioned it to anybody, I just thought it up and next day... BAM! I see an ad for something I just THOUGHT about.

What the fuck???

It's 9am in morning, it's too early for this shit!?! Let's just call it a coincidence. I'm going back to sleep, they can't get to you in your dreams.
