We simply pledge to never ever buy anything ever from one of those intrusive advertisers.
+1

+2

Advertising does not influence what I buy.

I make my own decisions on what to buy based on many factors.

I'm more so less likely to buy something if it's an annoying online advertisement the few times I have to put up with ads when it's not my computer/device I'm viewing content on.

It's alive again!
Although how long it will last this time, who knows?

Looks like AI generated. (too much smoke for a diesel generator as well).

The trailer coupling? Seems there is none. Looks like the trailer is pulled by the electric cable? No.

Definitely AI created... Too many obvious errors.

Sadly far too apt.

And now sadly far too apt for those waddling along around here... Such an excess of unhappy poor health really slows things down...


Ouch!

So where's my beautiful Mediterranean salad??...

Enjoy!

Message 2152606 - Posted: 4 Nov 2025, 20:02:28 UTC - in response to Message 2152519.  

Years ago I had an "encounter" with a "double wide load" on an internal flight in the USA - at check-in I was informed that I'd lost my allocated seat - I was rather upset until it was explained that this meant I was being bumped up from cabbage class to business, only that was full so I had to go up another step to first. This had a rather interesting subsequent change, my next airline decided that since I'd flown to them first they must also bump me up to first.
Don't knock those "rather large" people, just hope that the next time you are flying one of them is on the same flight, and the airline has a similar view on customer service as those two airline did.

Seeing Eye Person. I did that once. Helped a sight impaired person find a address. He held my arm while I guided him.

A great goal, in miserable conditions- Stunning icicle kick by David Rodríguez wins Canadian Premier League final.

I remember a similar game when i was young (a few hundred years ago now), where the snow fall was so heavy that you could just barely see the halfway line from the front of the goal box.
Luckily the ground was too warm for it to settle, but you'd be standing there, listing to try to hear the muffled shouts and thumps as the ball was kicked and then trying to spot either people coming forward or the ball as it materialised through the snow. And then either pass it forward to another player (if you could see one), or just it kick forward and hope if for the best you were surrounded by the opposition.

French supermarket chain Intermarché aires touching christmas ad that tells the story of a lonely wolf who tries vegetarian to attend the forest's christmas dinner, instead of being feared by everyone:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/article-15370401/intermarche-supermarket-french-christmas-wolf.html

video: (02m30s, in French)

The emotional cartoon, [...], features no obvious promo shots for the brand, opting out of the typical camera pans over glazed turkeys, steaming roast potatoes and pies.

Instead, we meet a disgruntled wolf who 'doesn't have any friends' because of his insistence on turning them into dinner.

After being advised by a kind hedgehog that he needs to 'stop eating people' he makes a bad-tempered stab at trying a mushrooms with sharp fangs - while continuing to terrify nearby sheep and rabbits. [...]
