Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.

If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.

You go to reach for a coffee and the wrist hole of your sleeve suddenly accordions over your entire hand as an ad unfurls from your shoulder.

I open the toilet seat to have a pee, a three foot flag unfurls from the ceiling, ITS HONDAFEST!

A small corporate social media account emerges from the bowl, screaming relatable phrases it copied from r/memes. ITS GIVING SAVINGS, FAM NO CAP.

My wife enters asking if I'm ok. I reach out for her, too late, she has become a smiling vacant eyed Summer's Eve ad. Not so fresh, I weep.

I use it because that increasing invasiveness really messes with my ADHD. Ads make me spend extra energy and concentration to filter to what I want (and I won't buy their crap anyway).
