If a large employer is looking at a potential employee, they can and often do get detailed information from data brokers.

I think this is the only thing I disagree with. I’ve never heard of this happening, and I’ve worked at some very large companies that have very strict hiring practices. Even for them, they just pay a company to do a background check, which is basically just looking for a criminal record or sex offender registration. Maybe google their name and glance at their social media profiles.

If you’re concerned about this, I’d just use a separate browser for those sites, so that it’s not connected to the rest of your habits.

And once in a while I have decaf if I have a coffee craving in the evening. It still keeps me up a bit, but I think that’s just the placebo effect. Melatonin helps insomnia for me.
