You’ll be working for Slugworth

I’ve never had a problem with ads made in this way. My only complaint would be it looks like an actual post. Even though OP is just sharing it, a filterable tag, like we have for nsfw, would be nice.

This form of “passive marketing” (I’m making up terms), I.e a random picture in the feed that you can easily scroll past is fine (assuming its marked appropriately and there are not too many). If the post catches attention enough that people start sharing it because they liked it, the marketer has done a good job. I also consider banner ads “passive”. If they actually filter out the scams and malware, and if someone wants to sponsor Rod’s Radical Recipes with a banner ad, who cares.

I do take issue with I’ll call active marketing. This is an ad you’re forced to engage with, like an unmutable gas pumps that’s playing audio, a commercial break or a pre-roll add. If I’m getting something for free, then sure an add or two seems reasonable (well, 15 years ago it did), but I’m already paying for the gas, shut the fuck up and let me enjoy my 3 minutes of stress watching the numbers go up without some guy screaming about beef jerky.

Edit: reworded the second paragraph, definitely didn’t look at the background too quick and think it was a real poster somewhere and talk about random posters on a wall…nope defiantly not.

Sigh another alchemy experiment gone wrong

Sure its easy cash, but now he is deprived of his fun.

Now the ads are 60sec? instead of 2.5min. Right now the time pressure to do your business is the hardest its ever been. Until they increase the ads again.

I was gonna tell you that it used to have it. But I guess it never did.

“No time to duck, but I did think this whole sentence. I could have dodged if I thought faster! Wait it still didn’t hit me? Is that thing in slow motion? I think its slower than a bullet. Thats funny, and what kinda name is Batpoon, its so silly. Should I call my strength “super strength”…oh wait, I d- OW I forgot to move!”

I knew the paper was about something else, I was applying the philosophy to the picture of imitation crab.

At one point that was a fish…I don’t think its intended purpose was to get mutilated, processes to look vaguely like crab meat and eaten. But I’m not a fish, so I could be wrong.

Really need some term limits and total service years. Pick your numbers, something but like 6 for congress, 4 for Governor, 20 max in public office.

Also their salary is based on their represented area. For a Congress representative, the national average is their base pay. If the area they represent is below average, a 30% of the difference is deducted. If it’s above average, 30% of the difference is added.

After 1 year, the percentage increases by 10 every year you’re in office.

So by year 6 if your doing a shit job your pay will be -90% the difference. If the national average is 50k, and your area is at 20k, the difference is 30k, 90% of that is 27K, so your salary is 50k-27k, which is 23K.

Edit; you know what, I’m upping the percentage increase to 30 a year, now if your doing a shit job at year 6 your salary will be 180% less. Why should it be set up so you still make more than everyone struggling?

Ah how little has changed

Locking a bin is to prevent random people filling it up. Pretty common for businesses with dumpsters, especially the closer they are to residential.

I’ve never heard of an entire neighborhood with locked bins.

Nah you over think it. All that needs to be accomplished is for what’s inside to become outside. A laxative would count under this very literal interpretation.

Did I stutter?

The box is full of rocks, and not the cool kind.

I’m sorry, this permit is written for Ron, not you ilovededyoupiggy

HUMANS! DO NOT SWIM HERE

TBF, some of the edits are a step above of low-effort. And there’s a bit of creativity involved in coming up with the puns.

But, yeah they’re all annoying after the 3rd one, but it’ll blow over in a week or so. All that will remain are obscure references about Sheeran sharing beans in jeans on a plane.

Welcome to Lemmy.

Edit, don’t forget, you can block users here. I just sorted this community by new…

Probably 80% of the ed posts were made by a couple of accounts, rest were just one-offs having fun. I don’t care if people post one, but I blocked the ones that posted too many eds.

That tracks

this is lemmy, you can block them
