The thing about losing progress is you can’t know where you would be if priorities were different.

If the same amount of passion and resources was poured into the space program for the last 50 years as it was during the moon landing we would certainly be much further ahead, but no one would be able to tell you where would we be.

How do expect someone to describe something that hasn’t been invented yet?

If it’s a never before thought of idea how can there possibly be ads for it? No one has ever thought of it and the product doesn’t exist right?

Like I said, there are always other ways. Maybe you searched something related the day before and don’t remember. Maybe your friend did.

It can always be explained by something else. Recency bias being a big one. It’s very possible you saw an ad yesterday as well, but didn’t notice you saw it because you haven’t talked about that item. Talk about it today, see the same ad, and now you think you’re being listened to.

It’s very possible your father googled something after hanging up the phone. There are endless ways they can connect you to knowing your father.

It’s possible someone on the same wifi network as you or your father overheard the conversation and looked it up.

All of these are far more likely than everything you say and do being recorded without anyone ever finding any definitive proof.

I knew a ton of farmers grown up, none of them were rich.

Also in Canada is pretty easy to build an ice rink.

Step 1: have any sort of decent size pond on your farm

Step 2: wait for winter

Canada used to allow it but they ruled it illegal about 10ish years ago.

The funny part is an iPhone is essentially a brick if it’s activated to someone else’s account. Wouldn’t be possible for the church to even use it without the owners cooperation, which I would assume they didn’t get.

Apple Music pays over double per stream to artists and is better quality audio than Spotify.
