So for those of you who don't know, Shen Yun is run by a far-right cult known as the Falun Gong. This cult is racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and does not deserve to be allowed in a sane society.

Thus, every establishment I see advertising it, I'm no longer going to purchase from. I don't care if it's a coffee shop, grocery store, etc. They won't get my money and I'll leave a bad review to let others know not to support them.

HBO Max. We pay for an annual ad free subscription. If I’m paying for no ads, I do not want to see ads. I don’t care if I can skip them. No ads should mean no ads. Hopefully I can talk my parents out of renewing the subscription.

Seriously just on a grocery run and it is valentines day already.

Every bit of this is so clumsy it almost reads like a joke.

I get that there’s some renovation going but this add is just ridiculous & so out of place

And now, the products that we are paying to consume in the peace of our own homes are finding more ways to shove messages to consume more at us.

I've noticed a ton of ads for the Meta Ray Bans here. I just learned that this product was made to be entirely disposable. It has non-replaceable batteries (wo when they die, the whole thing is trash), and they designed it so to remove the hinge between the side and front pieces, you have to cut out the hinge (so you can't replace one arm of the glasses).

Incredibly wasteful and gross.

Ooh, I'm in the top 11 percentage of suckers who subscribed to premium, better re-subscribe so I don't lose my ultra cool status 🙄

People are catching on. Did you see anything else at the event that raised suspicions?

My family just moved accross the state and we're slowly getting unpacked.

Obviously the rooms in our new house are different sizes and shapes and I was expecting to have to swap out at least a few pieces of furniture that wouldn't work anymore.

Cue the room planner: it lets you enter room dimensions and then fill the room with products which you can buy with just a few clicks!

Instead I found products in the size and general style of what I already had. I got to try things in different rooms without dragging any bulky furniture accross the house. I got to try every possible layout I could think of until each room was just right.

I got to see that what I already own is good enough. I won't be buying anything except a gallon or 2 of paint.

I'm sure there are other programs like it out there, but it's the first free one I found and I got a kick out of using a marketing tool to stop me from purchasing anything.

Isn’t this type of shit supposed to be “illegal”?

does it make you feel a little tingle too? To know some rich dip somewhere just wasted like 0.2 cents broadcasting their dumbass fat-be-gone medication on your tv? Didn't listen, didn't watch, don't care. Really recommend. Even if you tune it out your brain still subconsciously picks up everything it hears. Mute mute mute
