Stick him on the SS Minnow.

Shit so hard all the water vaporized.

The ad delivery system is programmed to show you the ads only when the vehicle is in park, just so Stellantis doesn’t get sued for that very reason.

Still, as far as I’m concerned it’s pretty scummy to throw ads on your display to make even more money off you after you’ve already paid them tens of thousands for your vehicle.

And Stellantis (Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler) showing ads on your infotainment screen. (Not to mention all the other bullshit)

Can’t fucking build a car that doesn’t rattle apart after 5 years but they can sure squeeze every cent out of you and your info in the meantime.

I find Sawzalls are better than a circular saw because they have variable speed and don’t tend to yeet things near as much. I tried a skillsaw once and it wasn’t pretty and didn’t have that great of a smell. (Given, it wasn’t exactly the sharpest blade)

Every diy person should have a sawzall or know someone who does. (protip: skill saws are messy and you probably have enough to clean as is.)

For most people I’ve talked to it’s usually the “It’s the only way to keep up with (friends family etc)” excuse.

Facebook absolutely sucks. I deleted my account in 2019 but I do understand where people are coming from… It was once a decent(ish) place when I joined around 2007/8, but it’s just not worth the bullshit anymore.

Would be nice if there is ever an alternative to come along (pref open source) that everyone can agree on that isn’t so shitty, but I doubt that’ll happen unless fb burns to the ground first.

They learned that doing that costs money and leaves more evidence the extermination was intentional behind.

I feel this. All my cats love attention but I recently dragged home 5 stray kittens… they’re a bit shy and will come up for treats and cheese, but are not terribly impressed with the petting yet.

I’m sure before long they’ll be spoiled little dorks like the rest of them and love their scritches.

That’s basically what I’ve been doing for years now. I’ve got a 'smart" tv (I don’t give it net) hooked to a pc in the living room.

It does everything the tv could have done and then some, but better, and without ads. In my opinion it’s the only way to go with the way the ad infested internet is nowadays.

This is No Effort November so it’s safe to assume he’s not putting a ton of work into this one.

It’s from the song “Stuck in the middle with you” by Stealers Wheel.

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you

Sorry If I didn’t explain that right… the guy was drinking non-stop every single day, to the point you could physically see his liver was shutting down because of his yellowish color. So the bar didn’t have much choice and had to cut him off. He was an awesome old guy so no-one wanted to boot him, but if he drinks himself to death the bar would be potentially liable for still serving him so they chose to stop.

Yes, my dad was one of them. I haven’t gone to a bar for years but it used to be most smaller bars had at least a few regulars that basically lived there. I remember one old vet that used to show up every day as soon as the bar would open for his daily fix… It got to the point the bar refused to serve him, so he would try and get unsuspecting customers to buy them for him. (This was in the 70’s and 80’s, there were (or at least seemed to be) a lot more alcoholics back then.)

Also booze used to be a LOT cheaper, so it wasn’t nearly as expensive as it would be now.

Accidentally spill water in your bed and the next thing you know you’re getting adult diaper ads on every device you own for the rest of your life.

It’s already far deeper than him… he’s just what bubbled to the surface in that pot.

When you’re around a bunch of kids sometimes you get to experience both at the same time.

Ya I get what you mean, it doesn’t always work out for everyone without getting the word out traditionally, but it does happen.

Personally I think advertising only goes so far before a company just starts looking desperate by saturating the landscape with ads. Maybe that’s just me tho lol

While some now invest in some level of traditional advertising, it’s not what made them big. As you said with Tesla, they only started advertising when people started realizing they were crap, and even then compared to other vehicle manufacturers they spend little. Go Pro used influencers and content marketing by their customers, the Dollar Shave Club made it to fame through viral videos.

I don’t know about that. Tiktok, Lamborghini, Tesla, Krispy Kreme, The Dollar Shave Club, Tupperware, Rolls Royce, Costco, Trader Joe’s, Go Pro etc all do little to no traditional advertising and do just fine.

Not that there’s anything wrong with some advertising to get the word out, but when you’re getting spammed with ads from every angle, that company starts feeling a little scummy to me.
