Oh my gosh, wrong ex!!!! There's gotta be something about this guy, how many ex's does he have? I mean if he was such a great catch why do they keep breaking up with him anyway?

Why are you using edge bro use firefox or librefox.

dangblingus ,

They’re using firefox…

Blisterexe ,

What? They’re using firefox

I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more…

Maeve ,

And act like they’re doing youthe favor, to allow you to politely hand them your hard-earned peasant pennies.

frezik ,

They don’t want some of the money. They want all of the money.

the secret sauce is in the double dip.

What? Why is this this a think.

Anyway use ublock origin with updated block lists and this likely won’t happen.

They didn’t understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.

He sounds more like DomSadoMasochist - not there's anything wrong with it! I know some guys are into the domination scene, but when it gets this angry and scary I'm not sure where the line exists between funtime fantasy and rape anymore.

Sorry, best I can do is never visit your shitty website again. Guess I'll order fried chicken from somewhere else, or, better yet, make a superior version at home!

cyberpunk007 ,

I just close these types of sites and do something different out of spite.

Out of more love for myself, than greedy megacorporations.

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don’t use a blocker, but this morning I couldn’t read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don’t have.

Vash63 ,

Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.

Demonmariner ,

It’s not on a browser as such. I use the Google News app on my phone. I can’t believe it would block anything at all.

droans ,

The most common one I’ve seen on Google News uses DNS checking, too. If it can’t resolve an ad domain, it assumes you’re using an ad blocker.

ConstipatedWatson , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

Well, I’m sure you can buy delicious fried chicken elsewhere at a local joint (those people won’t block your ads)!

moon , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

Nice, they’re worried about losing ad money and analytics over losing more money by selling what their whole business is about.

Showroom7561 , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don’t deserve to stay in business.

Daxtron2 ,

Soda is a big money maker actually

benhum ,

They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

eltrain123 ,

So they can sell your browsing habits to other advertising firms and, ultimately, other manufacturers or service providers… so they can badger you with more targeted ads…

Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.

We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can't pop up. Ads can't auto play. Ad can't be bigger than this.

We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.

flicker ,

I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.

grue ,

I like how you didn’t limit it to online ads, so you’re talking about outlawing billboards etc. as well.

AeonFelis ,

You are allowed to put a sign on the business’ actual physical location - and that’s it.

But, then, how will I know about that product that I don’t need and will never buy, that is literally on every shelf in every store? (/s, in case that wasn’t obvious)

AeonFelis ,

We’ll transmit that information to you via Neuralink™.

pete_the_cat , (edited )

Do you really want a bunch of people who don’t know how the internet and general tech works, along with massive corporate interest, regulating ads?

Edit: I’m from the US where our law markers are generally old and/or incompetent.

Vote in younger people and vote in educated people. And yes government CAN work for us and do good things. You have to vote for people who would do that.

Did anyone see that Biden's bill gave more funds to the IRS. They hired more people to help us, and go after the rich tax cheats, and are making a free government online filing system. Also the TurboTax company are complaining about it...and the rich, and Republicans.

I also would like government healthcare.

pete_the_cat ,

That doesn’t work in the US, we’ve tried. I work in IT and the amount of people that have zero clue about tech amazes me. It’s like 75-80% of the population has zero fucking clue about anything behind how the Internet works. For example, when Montana lawmakers said “We’re passing a law to ban TikTok.” but didn’t expand beyond that.

Hjalamanger ,
@Hjalamanger@feddit.nu avatar

EU has so far proven to know how the internet work and has been able to properly regulate it, so for my part yes. I would be delighted to see EU regulation on ads. But I don’t know anything about your government, maybe the really don’t know anything about tech but the EU government surely does.

Efwis ,

Right now better than half or government doesn’t know how to govern. They are too busy fighting among themselves and imploding thanks to MAGA.

pete_the_cat ,

I’m from the US, so our law markers are generally boomers that don’t know shit or people in my generation that still don’t know shit. Just watch the various public hearings of them questioning Mark Zuckerberg or Sundar Pinchai and shake your head with me.

We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.

If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.

Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don’t have time when I’m working to figure these things out.

Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!

whereBeWaldo , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

What are they gonna do, not sell you chicken?

More importantly, why are you eating KFC (unless you’re outside of the US where it’s actually edible)?

SkybreakerEngineer ,

KFC in Japan is actually worse somehow

zipzoopaboop ,

KFC in Canada is fucking atrocious. Aside from seeking out the worst staff possible, they have the worst quality food of any fast food places I’ve been to. Every 5 or so years I tend to forget just how bad it is, give them another chance, and something about the meal is inedible. Last time got a chicken sandwich and there was a chunk of the bun that was ultra hard and they forgot to put fucking fries in the bag, so I had a meal of a chicken patty of mostly batter and a mostly water diet Pepsi.

Skua ,

KFC in the UK is responsible for the only time I got chips (fries) while drunk on a night out that were so bad that I binned them

BruceTwarzen ,

I've been in a kfc in Germany and was blown away how people actually eat that shit. But at the same time, people also enjoy McDonald's and burger king, so maybe it's just me

corus_kt ,

To add on to the list of countries, Singapore KFC is the only fast food franchise where you can occasionally find overcooked blackish terrible tasting chicken. Macs, Popeyes, Arnolds, BK, Jollibee, etc - not even once (yet).

In my opinion even the Seattle KFC is better.

ConstipatedWatson ,

I’ve had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.

I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I’d sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald’s or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I’ve tried both US and EU versions of these products)

KFC in Australia is pretty good. It’s no Popeyes, but it’s not bad.

I live in the USA now and while most KFCs I’ve been to here are pretty bad, there’s one KFC near me that’s strangely pretty decent. Chicken is always hot and fresh and they never make any mistakes with the order. I just wish they’d bring back the potato wedges since the fries are horrible.

The chicken sandwich at KFC is pretty decent too.
