And Stellantis (Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler) showing ads on your infotainment screen. (Not to mention all the other bullshit)
Can’t fucking build a car that doesn’t rattle apart after 5 years but they can sure squeeze every cent out of you and your info in the meantime.
I’ve already told my kids I don’t want a funeral, and I hate having pics taken of me but I try to get a few every so often so that they have something to remember me by. I have a few pics of my parents and grandparents when they were alive and it’s nice to be able to see where I came from.
Well nobody around me has alzheimers… and by the power of egg salad sandwiches I’m going to do my part to make sure they never do.
The world needs more people like you. I’ve been feeding a bunch of stray cats this summer, trying to make friends with them to bring them home for the winter. (It gets cold up here in Canada)
It’s crazy how many people just don’t seem to care about animals. It’s really nice to see there are some who do care.
This is No Effort November so it’s safe to assume he’s not putting a ton of work into this one.
If anyone could pull that off, it would be Robin.
Yup. If you really need to check something on there, there is an extension for your browser (Chrome and Firefox) that will redirect you to an alternative privacy-friendly frontend. https://libredirect.github.io/
Accidentally spill water in your bed and the next thing you know you’re getting adult diaper ads on every device you own for the rest of your life.
If they actually believe that bullshit, chances are pretty good they’re already harming their kids psychologically at the very least.
Ah sorry, I totally misread that lol!
I think a lot of those are highly dependent on where a person went to school and who their teacher was, because some of them are pretty far out there.
Where did you go to school? I’ve never heard of either of those before.
Ya I get what you mean, it doesn’t always work out for everyone without getting the word out traditionally, but it does happen.
Personally I think advertising only goes so far before a company just starts looking desperate by saturating the landscape with ads. Maybe that’s just me tho lol
While some now invest in some level of traditional advertising, it’s not what made them big. As you said with Tesla, they only started advertising when people started realizing they were crap, and even then compared to other vehicle manufacturers they spend little. Go Pro used influencers and content marketing by their customers, the Dollar Shave Club made it to fame through viral videos.

I don’t know about that. Tiktok, Lamborghini, Tesla, Krispy Kreme, The Dollar Shave Club, Tupperware, Rolls Royce, Costco, Trader Joe’s, Go Pro etc all do little to no traditional advertising and do just fine.
Not that there’s anything wrong with some advertising to get the word out, but when you’re getting spammed with ads from every angle, that company starts feeling a little scummy to me.
The way I’ve always looked at it, a good product/service can typically stand on it’s reputation. If a company needs to spend millions on advertising to move their stuff, they’re probably not all that good or are overpriced. Someone is paying for all that advertising and it always ends up being the consumer.
Not sure if I am but thank you, I always try to help anyone who needs it. My buddy is terrible at fixing things, so I’ve been doing a lot of work for him and his mom.
If it was planned out and some beer was involved it would have been a lot better IMO… I had already spent the entire morning mowing my buddy’s yard and trimming trees for him, so my batteries were already low before all that happened.
Last Sunday. A friend asked me to go with him to town, normally I say no but I figured I would just because I usually don’t.
We went to town and went to a store. As we were about to leave, his truck wouldn’t start. (The starter was fried.) Ended up having to walk a mile and a half to his nephew’s place, then got a ride back to my friend’s truck, towed it to his brother’s shop, and after borrowing some tools I ended up pulling the starter off a car in the middle of a field, and installing it in his truck so we could finally head back home.
What was supposed to be an enjoyable hour or so ended up taking most of the afternoon and I ended up covered in oil and mud and sore as hell by the time I finally got back to my house.
The guy is a piece of shit that shit would have shitted out if only it could shit.
The ad delivery system is programmed to show you the ads only when the vehicle is in park, just so Stellantis doesn’t get sued for that very reason.
Still, as far as I’m concerned it’s pretty scummy to throw ads on your display to make even more money off you after you’ve already paid them tens of thousands for your vehicle.
