HTTP "referer" header (yes, it's spelled wrong) does still technically exist, but it's unreliable and almost always absent.
yeah, i haven't really seen it in active use since the 2000s. basically gone the way of <marquee></marquee>.

at my last job in ecommerce we tended to use js pixels issued by different cross-site tracking/marketing services, as well as google and facebook. no idea how the services worked on the marketing department's side of things.

Sorry what does that mean?
been a little while since i've done webdev, but basically when you click a link, it makes a request to the server the link points to and passes certain "header" data as part of that request, including "referrer" which is the page/site it came from.

GET params refer to the fields in the URL, which also pass along information to the server.

POST params are processed in a similar manner to GET params by the server under the hood, but instead of being passed by URL, they're are passed by way of form submissions or AJAX requests.

and well, malware - whether in your system or in browser extensions - can track your browsing activity.

vibes are just a term for how certain stimuli is processed and the "downstream" neurological/neurochemical responses to that stimuli, or how those responses are experienced rather

in short, what you sense and what you think/feel about it

for lack of better words

vibes are "real" but they're not really tangible, rational, or deterministic, aside from a few hardcoded ones

i'm also a big fan of rudy's moist brisket when it's done right but it's not austin bbq, though it does have a major presence in austin.

there's also a bbq place in cedar park with phenomenal brisket but i cannot for the life of me remember what it's called.

And thats just not true. There is no objectively attractive age range, as levels of attraction are subjective.
there's no universal agreement because everyone's unique in their preferences, and everyone's unique in their life circumstances

They're looking for meaning in life and they're being sold bullshit in their search.

this, precisely

my wayward grown ass friend since childhood became a tate stan last year even though i warned him tate was a scumbag/trafficker never mind a grifter, well before the internet hate train arrived, because the aforementioned reputation made him a pariah - on the edgy side of twitter at that - years ago

said friend justified consuming his content by suggesting that some of the things he says are "useful" or "insightful"

i warned him that anyone can package a whole lotta crap in a flatbread sandwich, whereby the flatbread is a couple insightful remarks

then when tate got arrested for precisely the reason i warned he was a scumbag, said friend shut up about tate and has not mentioned him since
