    I don’t do ads. Seeing them after years of not has a profoundly negative effect on my brain. A slight fog akin to waking up after using Benadryl as a sleep aide, and a hazing of attention capacity.

    I’m not going to pay for that impact on my thinking. It certainly won’t improve the world to have more of it.

      God, I have so many of these annoying catchy lines in my head. If I can’t access anything I’ll just use that Goldberg website to get some classics to read.

        I had those syndromes too, until I have quit doing it

        Stop it, before it is to late! Please, this stuff is poison to your brain! You suffered enough.

          Haven’t seen an ad in over a decade, except by accident, which is jolting. The stuff in my head is from the 90s…

            I see, the damage is already done 🫣

            But it seems like you stopped doing it at about the same time as me 😄 only, that I only experienced few years of 90s 🤔

              Back then ads were quite nice tbh, like they’d actually put effort into it to make it catchy and funny or beautiful. And TV was worth watching. Like the discovery channel was amazing.

                I remember TV only enshitificated, except in the state sponsored channels, there we had only a single ad-break in the middle of a movie and none in the night

                  Yea those are still the best. I like watching Arte sometimes or other public channels because there’s no ads.

        It’s been a long time, but I remember most of those Goldberg “classics” being pretty short, one-note affairs.

        And then Schiavone exclaimed, “There it is, the spear! This one’s over folks, one, two, three!”

        “If that gentleman needs a chiropractor, my brother in law just set up shop downtown,” said The Brain.
