I hate

Have adblock, YouTube covered in ads, Google "get rid of YouTube ads", first result blocked because of adblock, then cookies bs. Thisisfine.gif

hah, same. The £2 Pronamel/£6 Ultradex deal is like winning the lottery.

I wasn't aware you needed to have an account to view a page that isn't private.

I believe Brave Browser eliminates almost all ads by default.

It's chromium without ads basically

Thanks I'll check it. Adblock usually patches super quick and these YouTube text ads have only recently appeared so maybe they will get zapped.

I'd like to summon @fizzy.bleach for a report on this wording

The phrase "How can you say that?" It's not a question, it's a declaration that the speaker is too triggered/blinkered/stupid to listen to you and is going to shout you down if you do try to explain.

It turns out that Instagram doesn't like VPNs (or at least PIA) and makes you log in to view it if you're using a VPN. I guess I'll just continue ignoring Instagram.

Ublockorigin and Privacy Badger are what I use and I've never noticed ads.

I seem to remember adblock was involved in some controversy about paying to whitelist ads.

Google tells me that is Kurtis Blow? I think maybe I'm not old enough to understand this reply

Evidence for my claim of an Americanism:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/on%20special%20offer (British)

although there is an argument for Australian/NZ/Canadian involvement in the corruption

I still haven't forgiven Kurtis Blow for originating the 'break/brake' confusion.

Oral B.

Besides Anis Mint, they have some different flavours.

All this toothpaste stuff reminds me how much I hate dentists, all dentists, even nice kind and gentle dentists.

Is there a toothpaste thread?

Genuinely surprised that there isn't one..

light goes green, indicator goes on.

Kents

My first dentist was my grandad’s best mate Eric. His catchphrase was “sit down shut up and open your mouth” he gave me my first two fillings without anaesthetic...it wasn’t too bad. He retired then I got a string of Australian thugs who must have been on commission to do unnecessary fillings.
I tried no anaesthetic with one of these guys...holy shit, I now understand how good Eric was.

I currently have a really smug and offensive bloke who can’t disguise his utter contempt for mankind.

The absolute worst!

I'm with HSBC and always promised myself I'd clear my overdraft and then give them the heave ho. I'm ready to change to a more ethical bank and having done some homework I'm left thinking Nationwide might be the one.... but those ads!!! Absolutely boil my piss! Anything which patronises me gets on my tits (don't get me started on BBC adult TV - Fiona Bruce can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ). That whole cuddly thing really sticks in my throat when it's coming from a lending titan.

What is it with calling bikes "barn finds"? FFS. No one keeps bikes in barns, it's reserved for very expensive cars that have been left to rot but which still have a lot of value in them.

A rusty old bike you dragged out of the back of your shed because you heard bikes have gone up in value now is not a barn find.

Jetskis. Jet skis. Whatever. Horrible obnoxious noisy smelly dangerous pointless selfish bastard cuntmobiles.

What do you lot have against my barn find jet skis.

there's a weird YT rabbithole about people doing up knackered old jetskis

People who say Belgium instead of Belgian

I took the ferry to Belgian just before the lockdown. You wouldn't believe how many places they got that one wrong.

I dont think I've ever encountered that.

But now I'm thinking maybe I just haven't noticed.

Have I been living a lie?
