Nitrox posted:You should get rid of adblock in favor of Ublock, which is the original product that receives regular updates. AdBlock is taking advertiser's money by not blocking their ads. It's also a blatantly stolen piece of software Ublock Origin is the one to have, it's made by the original Ublock developer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock#uBlock_Origin

I hate the idea of having to download a new extension every couple of months because the old one got hijacked by or sold to nasties.

In the future, we are likely going to be paying for the privilege of having an honest to god adblock service. The lull of money is too great for the developers, and the amount of money spent on internet advertising is going up across the board.

On the same general topic, don't forget that even basic subscription-based tools can also be bought out. Lastpass was sold a little while ago, and the downtime that happened recently pushed me over the edge - multiple hours of downtime at their datacenter, and not a single peep from them until after it was fixed. I was a premium subscriber for years, but just flat out gently caress you. I was already reeeeeally iffy about continuing to trust the tool, but combine that with no communication on something so mission critical being down? I spent the past day organizing keepass and deleted my lp account

But they have a new logo now!  I have a premium subscription currently, and when that runs out, I'm probably just going to switch to the built-in password service and bookmarks sync in Chrome.

Radio Help posted:Agreed. I used to have pretty terrible TMJ, and occasionally I'd move my jaw wrong while chewing and hear an incredibly loud, disturbing crackling/tearing sound (which makes sense cuz your temporomandibular joint is right next to your ear canal), and it was basically exactly like the sound that they used in the Kit Kat bar commercials. So gross. Hah i can do that on command. Along with my double jointed thumb it freaks out a surprising amount of people.

The ridiculously loud crunch noise used on Magnum ice cream adverts makes me feel ill. It's this horrible amplified sound, and it's always at the start of the advert so you can't skip through it quickly enough.

A guy used to eat cereal in his cube every morning at work. Like full on with milk, a ceramic bowl, and metal spoon. I have no idea why, but that loving spoon scrapping the cereal bowl drove me loving batshit insane. To the point where I'd hear the initial scrapping and madly try to put on headphones. <scrap scrap> <sluuuuuurp>

Primetime posted:That sound is the absolute worst. There was a kit-kat commercial a few months ago that played every single time you skipped a song on Pandora that was just an instrumental kit-kat jingle with the crunch at the end of every line. I started taking off my headphones every time I heard it start. Watch the "orapup" commercial. It's supposed to be an ad for a dog toothbrush, instead it's an ad about reasons to be glad you have cats, not dogs. At some point a dog literally eats poo poo out of a dirty nappy and that doesn't have remotely the effect on me that all the spine shuddering sounds have.

I said something about having your manservant Enrique grind your beans. To this day, it remains the most memorable achievement in my life. Congrats. Although, I worry for your well being now that you have peaked. Anyway, on my way through San Jose, some place called like, the Diamond Store? has a billboard. It used to be some couple smooching, and the gender of both people was kind of ambiguous even though it was probably a man and women. If it was purposefully gender neutral, I thought that was kind of cool. Anyway, now it's a woman who looks like she's flipping you off with her bare ring finger. It's says, "she's tired of waiting." Oh please. But at least something like getting married sort of warrants a very tough long lasting rock. Getting laid after the ho me game though?

Since jewelry stores are mostly local (baring big chains like Shane Co., Jared, Kay, etc) they must borrow and share ad/promo ideas the same way radio stations do.

That's the  excuse marketers always use as a rationalization for terrible work. If that were true then Alka-Seltzer's sales would have soared after their famous Spaghetti ad.
