Hard to be influenced by ads if one avoids them in the first place. I do a fairly good job at limiting my exposure to advertisements. Some are unavoidable, like outdoor advertisement, or going to a website with ads, but simply tuning out broadcast TV and radio, free streaming services and cable, with a few exceptions of course, eliminates a lot of wasted time on ads. I do pay money though to keep them away on some services. When someone brings up a funny ad that they saw on TV, I often have no clue what they’re talking about, and that’s great. My adversion to advertisement has been around since at least the early 2000s. I believe it was triggered when I sat down and watched the Weird Al movie “UHF” on Comedy Central and it took 4 hours to the end because of all the ads.

I wonder how long it’ll last before it gets all spammy.

Horses, recreational vehicles, motorhomes, boats, sports cars… I’ll just settle with my watercolors. I will however splurge on Daniel Smith paints.

I play around with the paid version of chatgpt and I still don’t have any practical use for it. it’s just a toy at this point.

I wonder what it would be like if it was dipped in batter and deep fried? New state fair/carnival dish perhaps? I tried a deep fried Snickers bar years ago at one and it was worse than I thought it would be.

At least 10 percent of my time sitting in a classroom in college was waiting for the prof to get the projector to work with their laptop.

The combustion product isn’t likely to be a carcinogen. Safer to use indoors.

Heartburn alert.

My thoughts exactly. I stopped wearing conspicuously branded products when I was in highschool for this very reason.

It won’t be needed because nobody will have a job to pay for it. I forsee kurt vonnegut’s book “Player Piano” on steroids.
