Training the Algorithm

So, this morning's cool, cool temp was 28 (F).  Yes, there is fog.  Yes, it has frozen to the windshield of my car.  And yes, this is the coldest day we've had so far heading into winter.  Temps are predicted to climb in the the mid 50s (F), but more rain is on the way.  With these temps and rain, you can bet your bottom dollar every leaf will have fallen.  But then, we are a month away from Winter.  And only 4 months away from Spring.  My, aren't times moving fast.

Yesterday, being Wednesday, was a bit meh and a bit good.  My workout went well.  I was pleased.  Several loads of laundry were washed.  I patched a pair of work jeans with an iron on patch. And I baked a loaf of bread.  Those are nice accomplishments, but then there were the stretchy moments when I didn't want to do anything, not even scan down social media on my phone.  That was the meh part.  

I have to work this afternoon.  If they didn't pay me so well, I'd cut back my hours, but every time I see my paycheck I think:  Wow, now I can buy something nice and new.  Statements like that make people think my house is cluttered with useless, shiny bright things.  It isn't. The truth is I end up throwing more stuff out, or giving it away if anyone wants it, than I buy.  Sometimes people hold on to stuff simply because giving it away, or throwing it out is like cutting off a piece of their lives.  Believe me, these things are not part of your life.

One of the truly terrible things about social media is the advertising.  I Threads.  I also know that given the chance Meta will inundate me with ads, so I've started training their algorithm.  How do I do this?  Every time I get to an ad, I tap the 3 little dots in the upper right hand corner.  This opens a small menu.  I then click on the "not interested" and the ad disappears.  The more you do this, the fewer ads you'll see.  The same is true for Instagram.  If we could get everybody to do this for just one day, Meta would lose a fortune in ad sales.

So, Orangie signed the legislation to release the Epstein files.  He has 30 days.  A lot of people think that these files consist of thousands and thousands of manilla folders filled with written documentation, this is not entirely true.  There are also thousands of hours of audio recordings, and thousands of hours of video recordings.  These are extremely difficult to alter.  Also, there is more than one copy of the files.  The UK has a large number of the files, which is why Randy Andy is no longer a prince.  France has a large number, too.  Also, don't forget there are thousands of victims, and while many will keep their mouths closed, there are many, many more who would like to taste revenge.  Orangie and his team will release files that hurt Democrats, however there are so many with Orangie's name in them, they will use a different method to keep from releasing them.  National Security, or an ongoing Federal Investigation will keep the worst ones hidden from the public.  Keeping files secret will hurt Orangie almost as badly as releasing them.

The jobs report is out for September.  Don't believe it.  Every other source has said that September was a catastrophic month for jobs.  Orangie's administration is saying there was a surprising uptick in jobs.  Remember, they lie.
