It do be like that tho
Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.
Are you saying ads for tobacco and alcohol are prohibited on gas pumps? Because ads for alcohol are all over every advertising medium in existence.
Depends on where you are.
Where I am, alcohol, tobacco and gambling were all prohibited in advertisement, then gambling had a pass (because those making the laws are most likely in the pockets of gambling execs), but it looks like it will get prohibited again.
Ads
for gamblingshould be prohibited,just like those for tobacco and alcohol.But without ads, our children and grandchildren will have no idea what to do when they have a structured settlement and they need cash now.
Yeah, I’m with you on that one, but I’m also realistic.
I get ya. One step at a time. I believe there’s value just saying these things out loud, getting it in the zeitgeist, helping people imagine the possibility.
There was once a campaign going that had billboards like: no more cigarette ads? Next they ban ads for (some sausage) and i just thought: yeah, ban them too, and any other ad.
I assume these people exist, but who the fuck sees that and goes: NOT MY SAUSAGES!! Or: NOT MY ADS!
I bet they won’t be.
And font forget!!! Your 75 dollars go to an Arab that works with isrealis to kill other Arab. Oh and they fuck little kids…
Most gas pumps that do that have a way to mute them. It’s usually the second button from the top of the four on the right hand side. Sometimes it’s the top right button, but most of the time it’s the second one. Enjoy the silence. Oh, and also if you press and hold 2 on your microwave, you can turn the button pressing and beeping off. Silent microwave is the way to go.

My microwave starts a 2 minute cycle. Do I have to hold the button until it’s done?
Most gas stations in my area have disabled the hidden mute button.
That’s a bummer. Still works most times I try it here in San Diego.
Yet another EV win 😎😎😎
At least I’ve never seen/heard blaring ads on an EV charger. Nor paid anywhere near $75 at one
They definitely exist. They’re even more obnoxious, too, its like a 55" display that loops tiktok style content. I’ll find a photo and report back.
Edit: these sumbitches
How did I know it was shells Chargers 😂
give it time… give it time
I try this every time and I’ve never had it work :(
All the pumps near me disabled the mute button years ago.
some of us charge our BYD electric cars from solar panels on our roof and ride our ebikes charged similarly.
but hey, at least you don’t have that one trans kid playing in the girls soccer team /s
I don’t have $50,000 to drop on solar, byd and bice either.
Yeah, the 200% charge and extra 10-20k to get it insurable is a no from me.
Solar roof would be sick though.
Yea i started planning one out this spring and opted for DIY. its still expensive as fuck and i hate myself for taking on the project. But i also cant afford to heat my house with kerosene anymore so something had to break. it was my back and my bank they broke. Not to mention Tariff King bumped the prices up on everything 50% or more. It’s worth the peace of mind, but its honestly a 10k adventure.
Where the fuck do you life where you’re heating your house with kerosene?
Or How’d you get a computer with modern internet in 1904?
A lot of fuels are in use for residential heating in america, and the fuel of choice is usually regional. Example
A lot of homes in the North still use it.
It’s pretty common in the North. Older houses built in the 40s thru 60s that have never been fully renovated. Furnaces are surprisingly resilient
The furnaces are awesome, I’m keeping mine for a back up unit. In the more brutal storms and dark winters the solar and the heat pumps start struggling. I imagine i’ll still get some use out of the Old Beast.
I just got a 2023 id.4 for 20k, and I charge off the grid.
Right… I drive a 20 year old Toyota Yaris that gets 40mpg, and i drive like 30 miles a week max, more like 15. It cost me $5,000 3 years ago and i pray every day it last another 3 years. Theres absolutely no cost savings for me dropping $20k on an EV to save 50-75 gallons of gas a year. I dropped $10-12,000 on solar to save $4,000 a year on power and heating. One of these is a good use of money one of them is virtue signaling…
I got a 2007 A6 Allroad Quattro for 1.8k. Let me know when I can get an EV for that price, with highway cruising range (I get about 1000 km on a tank but I’d find 400-500 acceptable on an EV).
So far the closest and most tempting are old Tesla Model S, which I could get for 15k, but I’m not a fan of touchscreens, I prefer a proper interior. And not sure I should give money to someone who bought a car off Elon Musk and will likely do it again. Runner up is Jaguar I Pace which is super cheap because… Jaguar decided to pretend its old lineup doesn’t exist and is discontinuing parts production.
Even then, being able to charge at home is incredibly privileged. Not everyone lives in a single-family home. I do, but if I didn’t, charging would cost as much as fuel before the Iran war.
You must have a really small tank. Last time I filled up (less than a week) it was over 120€ (50 liters)
Me setting up my bets for tomorrow, let us do what we do without judgement
The damage gambling does to society in general and families specifically is horrific. It’s one of those things that hotwires the reward systems of a persons brain as surely as alcohol or opioids. And it’s so casual, gambling, especially at this level, finds the people who are susceptible, and exploits them until they are rung out like a dry cloth.
You may be one of the people who can just casually gamble, and not understand why it’s so crazy destructive, or you could be 10 toes in a downward spiral, there’s no way for me to know.
This period of legalized gambling is going to go have a body count at the end of it, a huge one.
Sucks for many, benefits some. I didn’t vote for this but I’ll participate as it’s legal. Not saying it should be, trying to stay neutral in this one. I spend like $3-$10 a week which o can afford. Just during football season.
Gambling sucks, you’re wasting your money. I invite you to get a more interesting hobby, such as drugs.
I do those too, don’t tell me how to have a good time
About time people in the us pay what the rest of us have for decades
$100… trump is a cancer on humanity’s asshole.
You could have stopped at “ads”.
Chalk up another one for those gay, librul pansy ass effeminate electric cars…or something like that.
Let me be clear…obviously this is not an option for everyone…but a big schadenfreude filled fuck you to anyone who fell for the obvious propaganda about climate change and electric cars 10+ years ago (edit: *and still chooses to feel entitled to cheap gas). I hope it really hurts when you fill up your F-350s
I mean it hurts to fill up my 2010 Yaris. Ain’t no F350 drivers here bro we poor poor.
I’m glad I was able to get an EV. Its great for my anxiety never having to wrangle busy gas stations, and the vast majority of my trips are short enough that the home charger is all I need.
Soon coming to charging stations.
The logistics of charging stations means not having to be standing next to the station for minutes at a time. Doesn’t seem like a big difference but gas pumpers are a captive audience more than chargers
Wait for ad to end to be able to press the “start charging” button
Welp.
BUT…users plugging in at home…
Ffs, don’t give them ideas.
Wait for you to have to stop by the charger every hour to watch a new ad, and then see it fixed by a smartphone app that lets you view the ad on your phone to keep the charger on.
My driveway? I think not.
An air can turned upside down will freeze and destroy a speaker cone while leaving zero evidence.
You can afford canned air in this economy?
I actually use a rechargeable air blower at home because it’s so much cheaper lol.
Dollar Tree is more expensive per oz than MicroCenter, but having a little can of air around is pretty damn handy, and not a huge investment…
And the only chance I get to go to Microcenter is when I go to work, since it’s near my office, but I’ve been WFH since covid and it’s like an hour and a half from here.
Video evidence?
Yea definitely wear a hat and stuff.
Should my license plate wear a hat too?
Park next door?
Or walk, if that’s an option.
You could also stay to the unlit parts of the lot and practice your airsoft aim at the screens.
Park next door right in front of that flock camera lol
No, that’s where you put the fake mustache.
…but really though, just do what cops do and tuck a dried leaf in the plate holder to partially obscure it with plausible deniability.
and hope that someone else in the state has the exact same car model/color with plates that match the part of the plate that your leaf didn’t obscure.
Police can get away with it because almost all police cars are identical.
great idea!
that’s what I do to get past the Flockness where they can see the scratches, stickers and mud on your car to identify you.
hope you have your car’s bluetooth and telemetry turned off.
but wait, even if you manage that without bricking your car there’s always your phone.
'Murica
Exactly, and this is posted (as always) like nothing else exists.
It’s a meme it’s really not that deep. Just say you’re jealous of American technology and want more gambling.
'Mercia
God. White people steal literally everything
Hey, leave New Jersey out of this, I don’t pump my own gas!
