Fuck ads at the gas pump (lemmy.world)

Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I'm paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I've seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers...

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn't work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19....

It's a good time to clean your windshield, check your oil/coolant levels, tire pressure and throw any trash away.. do you really stare at the pump like a n00bz?!

Oh you're getting raped?

Why don't you go over your taxes in your head? Don't forget those deductions!

You can always recite pemdas in your head, or other acronyms, roygbiv, count backwards from 100...

All in all, if you are getting raped, don't fight back! Just lay there and take it like a good sheeple

You can't rape the willing.. But if you are dumb enough to return over and over maybe you lack the mental capacity for consent altogether..is there only one gas station you can go to? Are you like a moth that goes towards the light? You know, I can help you get a discounted bus pass for your condition. It seems like it might be the best thing for you ❤️

Tell that to my ex...

She was willing but I still raped the hell outta her

Gotta love people that think the way they live is how everyone else on this planet lives.....

I'm sorry my mom told me not to talk to rapists/retards
