That sounds like a nightmare tbh It's only a matter of time before we start getting ads in our dreams when we lay down to sleep tbh I anticipate this becoming the dark side of brain-computer interfaces, among other things. boxington posted... they should make so that if you sit through the advertisements, your gas should be cheaper. I fear this might backfire on a large scale, as gas stations (especially in remote areas without many options) inflate their prices and consumers have no choice but to sit through ads to get previously regular prices. --- https://imgur.com/A0TAfek <cite>TheMikh posted [p:934650470] in So I was a...

lincoln002 02/20/20 4:16:43 PM #15:	It's like the ads episode of Southpark with Jimmy. You can't play a dang video game on your phone without an ad. You can't watch YouTube or scroll through fb or Instagram without an ad. Can't click on a website after a Google search without being prompted to be a part of a newsletter where they sell you stuff through email. Radio? Ads. Internet? Ads. TV? Ads. The only place without ads are the streaming services, but once the power shifts to them they'll place ads, and people will have no problem with it. <cite>lincoln002 posted [p:934650882] in So I was a...
