Nah, fb just assuming for some reason. I dunno why.

One of the examples of the ads they apparently show to black people was one for Red Hot hot sauce that showed it and a basket of chicken wings in front of a football field. 

nice. it must be your awesome 'fro and command of urban America.

Probably both. It would be foolish of them to throw away data they can potentially sell.

Thanks for the heads up! Now they can't pry into my downloaded aps or searches, etc. Also deleted all my categories down to 'birthday in November' and my interests are psychedelic rock and death metal. Try matching ads for that, website I only use for sending links.

I've said that I would participate in NaNoWriMo "this year" for years but never wrote a word. I stopped saying that.

I never finished my novel called "Thick Couches." It started off like this:
 
Thick couches were marching down the boulevard. I don't remember ever seeing this happen before.
 
I only wrote 12 pages and then I was distracted by the smell of pancakes.
----------
i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag
that's a happy bag of lettuce
this car smells like cartilage
nothing beats a good video about fractions

Getting better at lyrics (still can never finish them though)
you and I both reside closer to the arctic than to the tropic so you can be assured that I do not have any fans, but this keyboard is like 40 cm from the antenna USB thing and some buttons just don't respond well(and it's also a lot smaller than what I was used to)

if someone would sign me up for this I wouldn't even finish the deregistration email before the month ends
bytheway, I'm really liking this new desktop comp but the wireless keyboard really sucks, I'm literally button-mashing to produce an o or a p and it doesn't even have d`i'acr^it"ics
