Google has no idea what I am, or what I want. I get into so many random internet debates, that the last time I checked it thought I was the wrong gender, living in a different state, with a completely off the mark profession, and only a handful of the hobbies it though I had were relevant. And those were vague things like “outdoors” or “sports.”
