...this is the first ad that I get served.

Both me, and this empty packet of ginger biscuits are feeling very judged right now. 😁

The scariest one I’ve seen is a mate locally started seeing ads for divorce lawyers, and sent me a screenshot saying Google must be very confused. He was served by his wife’s lawyers about a month later.

Countless hours?

If only there were a more cost efficient way to perfectly accomplish a complete lack of ads… 😗

Eh if you spread your internet activity around (and skip social media) they don't really pin you down that well. For instance, every awards season I receive tons of FYC ads despite not working in the entertainment industry at all

I apologise if you feel extorted, but Softlayer / IBM have been extorting us for 9 years.

They send us these notes written in pig’s blood saying “IF yOu Don’T pAy fOr yOUR SerVerS, wE’LL tURn tHEM oFF”

I better go to bed soon, only 4 hours until the kids wake up and extort me for lunch money.

Uh oh, I am seeing ads about "How to collect your husband's life insurance when he is still in his 50s" and "powdered cyanide --- now with Odor Masking Technology!" 😲

Well at least the ads for rubber gloves and HEPA vacuums may mean my wife is finally be getting serious about cleaning the house...

Oh, mine expired tomorrow... Feb 9, 2022 5:55pm

If I don't share the ad, it means it was a real embarrassing one 😒☕

Ps: a gift is more than welcome of course, just saying 👍

Freelancing at the moment so cash is not always all that fast to arrive in my bank, but I will be renewing as/when - money well spent both to support the forum, and to get rid of the ads! 😀
