Things you just don't "get."

[Svengoolie 3]

The internet.

We pay a huge amount a month for it, and itcs full of ads,  Ads,  ADS!!!

A constant stream of intrusive,  invasive,  abusive ads everywhere,  on every site. Ads ads ads!!!

If wecre laying for he net why are we being constantly assaulted by barrages  of ads? If the ads make money why are we paying for the net?

Indy must dinged me form this post and said "TRY NOT READING THEM!!! "

HTF am I supposed to "try not reading them" when they leap up into the text icm reading while icm trying to read it,  you idiot? 

I read very quickly. When something just FLASHES into my field of view I can't shut my eyes fast enough to avoid seeing it. Maybe you read slow enough to see an ad and avoid it. I don't.

Also how do I not read it when it won't go away for several seconds or has to be shut down with a tiny x in a corner I have  to find,  moron?

But I thought this was a thread about things you don't get.

People who shake a bunch of hands at an event and then sit down and eat without washing their own hands. I just saw someone do that at an Indian restaurant three hours ago (he was American) and I offered him some waterless hand sanitizer at the table, and he said, "Thanks, I'm good." I looked at the person there with me like do you believe that and he kind of raised his eyebrows like yeah, I know and I thought, oh, well. I have a reputation for being fastidious but how can someone not want to wash his hands after touching the hands of five other people before a meal?

Ketchup on hot dogs.

Ugh.

I "get" it, I guess, but ugh.

Not as bad as ketchup on steak, though.

The access to the internet is what you pay for, not the websites themselves. If the ads are that bad then get an adblocker or two.

"Oops! We see you're  using an ad blocker! Please shut it off to proceed.
                                              OK. "
     

There are many types of adblockers to get around that Sven.

Movie scenes in reverse, uploaded to social media and mostly youtube. I don't get this at all. What's the point of doing this?

To get by the copyright bots.

Oh wow ok. It's still silly no matter what.

Yea it's dumb. A few companies has f**ked over Fair use by shortening the time that a clip is used, even going as far as claiming stuff from other companies.

How anyone thought Dean Martin could pass as a suave James Bond type secret agent.

Funny, I've been using adblockers for years and never had that issue.

Of course there are always some people who'd actually whine endlessly about things than do something about them.

Praps. Did you know Kevin Spacey played his character in LA Confidential as a homage to Martin?

[Svengoolie 3]

How Hollywood can keep pressing for the LADA to let the charges against roman polanski drop so he can come back to america while turning Kevin spacey into a non person.

People who order a meal in an expensive restaurant and then cover their meal is so much salt that they are basically eating almost pure sodium.
