Fuck ads at the gas pump (lemmy.world)

Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I'm paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I've seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers...

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn't work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19....

Here's another hour of vehicle accidents for you to calm you down.

Yeah I have youtube too I can watch car crashes, not sure what point you think you're making there. Do you wear a seat belt? Do you drink and drive?

Since you're struggling to keep throwing other elements into this discussion in hopes of legitimizing you calling me an idiot over an anonymous comment section that has angered you:

I'm fully vaccinated because the risk of death without has been proven to be significant. I wear a seat belt because the risk of death without has been proven to be significant. I don't drink and drive because the risk of death when doing so has proven to be significant. I get in my car when fueling because the risk of doing so is so minuscule that there are literally no published statistics regarding the practice.

You seem to be doubling down on the "I'm having a problem winning this with logic so let's find something else to get this guy on" and super light on any stats, so I'm going to concede you are the winner of this online comment battle(Congrats!). Also, I did find a video showing some static electricity fires so I thought I'd give you that as well. It seems you were right all along.

Brother I won the argument when you started typing, I really don't care to engage on this topic anymore, have a nice day.

[–] schwim@lemm.ee -1 points 8 months ago

You keep saying you're done but yet here you are, still engaging.

I win because I've commented last. Yay, me.
