    Ayy fuck capitalism, comrades. I hate advertising so much. Inserting their shitty product into intimate human experiences, trying to create associations between the two. Appropriating culture for their profit. Fucking give it back.

      And advertising is such a waste of resources. How much money has been spent on the cola wars? How much creativity and engineering go into making french fries fly perfectly through the air for commercials? How much attention and focus does it suck away from everyone on a daily basis?

      I hate advertising so much. It's not the only reason I want capitalism to die, but it's definitely a consideration.

      Was outside this morning (somewhat rarer occurrence during lockdown) and realized I couldn’t escape ads all surrounding me. They were everywhere. The only way to escape would have been to close my eyes. It’s cancer on my retina.

        I'm dreaming of good AR so that we can mod it to finally get adblock in real life

      Every time I pull up to a gas pump I think about how I could disable those little fucking add screens, but I always chicken out. Too many cameras watching.
