When trying clothes on in clothing stores, it’s so nice when people don’t leave the stuff they tried on an inside out ball on the floor. Please hang the stuff that was hanging and since no one knows how to fold just side fold things that don’t have a hanger. It’s not difficult, but apparently for some it is akin to rocket fucking science
If you can’t avoid being tracked, add a tons of extra data every chance you get. Have fun with it. Your goal is to get company to write new policies just for you.
My wife and I have a pretty simple method. First, we each have our own bank accounts with our own spending money. Then, we have a joint account that we use for bills. Finally, we have a separate bank that we use for groceries and gas.
With these allocated separately, we can each have our own spending money, and have enough in every other account to take care of what we need. The paycheck just gets split between these in different direct deposit amounts.
The most important thing is to understand your costs, plan them out, and be aware of what comes out and when. Then, you just follow that plan. The biggest part is making sure you know that you can only spend exactly that much on yourself, which is where our individual accounts come in handy. Whatever we want to buy, we can, because we know safely that our needs are taken care of.
Since we have our math to allow more money in than money out, each account (minus our spending ones) accrue their own savings, and can be transferred between at any time. Overall, it works for us.
Choose an unclear gender (other, agender, etc) and your data becomes less useful. Marketing campaigns are based on broad categories, like male or female, so choosing neither lowers your data’s value.
Similarly, lie about your education and your employment. Pick a made up job, be a wizard, or a spaceman. Jobs, again, are wide categories, so nonsense jobs, the more niche the better, the less they have to market things to you.
In theory you can do the same with hobbies, but three points of data, even made up data, is sellable somewhere.
Lie, of course, if you can. I’m sure there are more denizens of Hell on Facebook than the real place.
If they are making you have it for contact purposes, don’t put anything extra on there. Leave it as the most bare and basic for contact only. No personal interaction at all.
And as everyone else is saying you can’t make in unsalable. But don’t give them anything
Unfortunately it’s not just not posting on Facebook. Facebook uses tracking pixels and those little like and share buttons on sites to track you outside of Facebook domains (that’s why porn videos have them. No one is sharing porn on Facebook and Meta doesn’t expect them to; they just buy the tracking). As much as possible separate your devices and networks from any device that accesses Facebook, and disable cookies and trackers using an ad blocker and privacy-respecting browser all over. You’d be amazed at how adept Facebook and others are at linking you across devices and networks.
AFAIA, The pudding part is because pudding referred to meat dishes long before it was used for sweet dishes, and yorkshire pudding used to be exclusively served with meat - which is likely tightly linked to the original meaning of toad in the hole!
For those interested, I know a typewriter repairman who fixed up over a thousand typewriters. Super nice dude, and he does have an Etsy shop for those interested: www.etsy.com/shop/WorkingTypewriters
But a poorly cooked one since it looks like the egg is cooked through without having toasted the bread. Ideally the egg yolk will be runny and the bread toasted on both sides. It’s also missing the interior ‘dipper’ toasted separately. Looks like good bread though.
