I am. Same loop of crap blasting on 20x massive screens 24/7 at the station.

Every store that keeps light on at night is also an ad.

My hate for them is one of the main drivers behind my radicalization.

My grandfather worked in the ad industry and couldn’t stand ads. He’s always mute the TV when they came on and we sat in uncomfortable silence.

What do you mean 'uncomfortable'?

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I was like 25 when I took care of him for two weeks and a pretty hard partier so silence wasn’t really my thing at the time. I’m in my 40s with 4 kids so I’ll I love silence now. I’ll even stare at walls.

Well, we weren't very keen on talking in the family when I grew up. I can't remember if we sometimes talked while TV was muted because of ads, but when we didn't talk it didn't feel awkward. If anything, it felt awkward to ever talk to each other. Not the healthiest upbringing in my mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least lighting has become more efficient than 20-30 years ago.
