The Camp Lejeune ads stopped once I flagged about three of them as irrelevant. FB thinks I’m interested in STL (3d printer files) collections. True. That I want to dress like Ezio from Assassin’s Creed. Not sure how they came to that conclusion, but I’ll roll with it. That I collect recipes. Also true. And that I’m interested in dragon themed jewelry. Not a jewelry guy, but again I’ll go with it to avoid the alternatives. ---

And that I’m interested in dragon themed jewelry. I get ads for crotchless panties, bras for older women that aren’t made in my size, and rides on business jets. Oh, sorry, those were for me. ---

I don’t peruse Facebook, but for some reason, my phone thinks I’m from Indianapolis. It keeps sending me news bits about Indianapolis that I have no interest in whatsoever. I have no idea why. It’s faintly annoying, but tolerable. ---

FB thinks I’m a far-right asshole, when in actuality I’m just your run-of-the-mill asshole. I block them all, and in one case reported one that I felt was advocating violence. ---

Facebook has successfully determined that I like puns and cartoons. There’s other junk, too, but it’s easy to scroll past. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/facebook-thinks-im-an-evangelical-christian-and-i-cant-convince-it-otherwise/971326.md?page=1)
