So my friend was telling me yesterday that she got a new Samsung smart TV for her living room. One afternoon she was sitting on the couch across from the TV, which was turned off, talking to her friend about social anxiety.
The next day her Samsung phone, Facebook account, and her son’s Instagram account (which is linked to her phone number) were blown up with ads for social anxiety medications.
She called Samsung up like “WTF“ and they admitted that it was a “feature“ on the smart TV for it to record conversations even when turned off in order to provide customized ads. You could turn off the setting but of course you probably wouldn’t even know about it unless something like this happened because it’s not like they readily advertise “this thing will record your conversations even when it’s turned off“.
yee they do that w our phones and computers too and our texts its creepy as fuck
Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
When you survive loss, everyone is quick to tell you how strong you are, and how tough you must be. But actually no one has a choice to survive grief do they? It’s not optional. You just have to cry in the shower, sob in your pillow and pray that you will make it.
