So the weirdest thing just happened.

Yesterday, I was browsing some old GL thread when a name randomly popped into my mind - Hasitha Herath. I don't know who this member is, but for some reason, I remembered that name. I heard it like around GL inception times, ages ago. I never mentioned it though, it only existed somewhere in the back of my mind until yesterday, an information I didn't even know I had.

I normally keep my socials deactivated, log in only once or twice a week when I feel like it. I logged in this morning, and who was waiting for me?

HASITHA FREAKING HERATH. Number one friend suggestion.

I can only assume it picked up on our mutual GL activity or something, but still mind blowing. Right after that name popped in my mind. Obviously GL fed my thoughts into the Matrix, right agent @McLewis ?

More like Google bots wanted to help you

I've been on GL since 2011 and it decided to do it now, the one single time that name popped into my mind?

I'll accept it if that guy is still around and some GL data connected us, but weird as f if he's not.

It probably appeared before too but you didnt even pay attention to it

I doubt it.

Also he never appeared again since.

I must find Hasitha Herath.

I think I found him, he's infinity9910 and hasn't been here in 8 years. He mentions GL on reddit though.

Also found this:

Thats just google and zuckerberg harvesting your data and probably also location through google maps

Makes sense now.

I had 3 Pfizer COVID shots, and now I'm connected to Hasitha Herath through 5G

Elaborate pls

I turn off any tracking/siri app on my phone, can't believe they actually respect that choice they probably send personalized ads in a more subtle manner.

Well last autumn i thought about buying an OBD-2 device for my car but never searched for it on Google or whatever. A few days later on the youtube iPhone app (only place where i'm forced to see ads) there was an ad for a shop that sells car stuff at very low cost and i ended up buying there. Might be just a coincidence

Illusion of choice really.

If you are online in any capacity, all your data is uploaded.

Though that is becoming obsolete nowadays as I am 5G connected through the vaccine. I just wish it could have connected me to Kate Beckinsale instead of Hasitha Herath.
