I work for a major data aggregator of public records, which uses a lot of the same techniques the these ad places use to profile people.

You would be astounded by the sheer amount of information we have on individual people from addresses, hard pii such as criminal and finance records and your ssn if in the USA, who your neighbors and family are, your assets such as housing/vehicles etc, and even your individual devices like your phone.

Imitation vanilla then?

While those do exist where I live, the selection is usually limited to fruits and vegetables.

On top of that, the ones around here are time limited (growing season only; weekends only; etc).

The problem in the states is that many of the local grocery stores went out of business when wally world rolled into town.

I don’t really subscribe to that mentality personally. Some are and some are not. Just like people.

Exactly.

As much as I’ve seen threads here on lemmy complaining about how terrible Google search is, Bing isn’t any better.

I don’t get why everyone espouses ddg but shits on bing when bing is the underlying source.

Specifically, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.

A bit touristy though if that is what OP is going for… but also no real need to go in town either and can just enjoy the park on its own.

Renting a chalet for a weekend also makes for a good time, too.

I have been price matching what I can with brick and mortar stores, against the online ones.

TBH I have started to trust shipping less and less for expensive electronics and would rather do a pick up when able anyway. No damaged goods or porch pirates that way.

Reward points if using a credit card to purchase.

Also, some stores in the states at least, like Kroger, give their own points for fuel.

Conan is so episodic that there is barely an arc to even follow. I don’t think you missed out on much backstory.

Same app. They rebranded because the old name was corny.
