I got a commercial about how great data centers are for the community and everyone around them.

It was almost straight up a Veridian Dynamics commercial from Better Off Ted.

One of the few shows I'll periodically rewatch. Really wish it had gotten more seasons

Just don't talk about Project Jaberwocky, it's the most strategic project for the company......

I run adblock and don't watch live tv and its always jarring for me when I see ads like that or I visit the parents and see political commercials on TV. Sometimes I wonder what propaganda messages I'm missing out on. Of course I just get hit with bot propaganda online instead.

Which browser do you run? No more adblock in Chrome :(

I keep seeing this, but my uBlock Origin Lite is still humming along. I feel like I'm missing something (besides all the ads).

I'm in the same boat. I've spent a lot of time curating my devices to avoid ads so when I get hit with them at other places I'm just like "oh. That was disturbing."

I went to my regular fill up spot and they just upgraded their pumps. Ads started playing and making noise at me when I started pumping and it startled the shit out of me.

Was it the Indiana one? So damn tired of that ad

Ah, I didn't catch who exactly. It was one of those commercials that sold nothing by a company no one has ever heard of, something tech...

I tried to see if I could get it to come up again and I got: Grainger Yes glasses Some diamond jewelry Booking.com
