Hey all, a little Social Media PSA if you have the Facebook App on your phone.
With the last update, Facebook began tracking something called ‘off-Facebook Activity’ which keeps up with all apps and browsing you do off of Facebook and collects that information with the purpose of targeting ads… which means they’re selling it to ad agencies. This includes access to any banking apps on your phone and your spending habits.
Not only is this a major breech of privacy that Facebook didn’t have to tell us about when they updated the app, it’s, of course, automatically turned on.
To turn it off, go into your Facebook app, pull up the menu from the main screen [the button with the three horizontal lines] scroll down to security and privacy, find ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ and hit the button that lets you manage your history to see all the apps it’s been collecting from. From there, you can clear the information it’s already collected, and there will be a button regarding ‘Future activity’ where you can turn the ‘feature’ off, at which point Facebook with give you an ‘ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT US COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION TO SELL YOU THINGS???’ screen. Yes, yes you are sure. Because this is disgusting.

Was wonder if you have any prompts for couples that maybe ended on not great terms or with this tense awkwardness, but both wanting to seek each other out to talk it out and maybe see if now is the right time for them aka another chance? Them being older and wiser helps too
It's always the best to say what type of prompts you would like. I went with text prompt for this.
Their end hadn't been pretty, but now, standing in front of each other and looking in each other's eyes, it didn't feel strange - it felt right. Like they were finally where they belonged.
It took them some time to realize what they wanted and what they needed in life. And it took them even more time to realize who they wanted it with.
Sometimes you meet the right person at the wrong time. But when they looked at each other now, they knew that the time was finally right.
Have fun!

You were in my dreams last night, it was fucked up because you were there, we talked and it was good and it proved that I missed you more than I thought.
I want these thoughts to stop..
But at the same time I don't..
