I've set things up so I never see ads (uBlock Origin, AdGuard Home, etc.) but I watched an NBA game the other day on broadcast TV and immediately saw a Wendy's ad that was entirely AI generated. Blew my mind. It was slick. I'd bet most people that are accustomed to seeing ads wouldn't have even noticed.

Agreed. Showing basic humanity in all situations is a good practice.

I couldn't find it on desktop but found it easily on mobile.

Tell me more. I've relied on Anker as a dependable brand for years. What changed?

Mine said I have twelve cats! My two cats would protest but they can't be bothered.

I have a "permanent" discount for Proton Pass Family, so long as I don't cancel the subscription.

That's nuckin futs. Thanks for the breakdown.

i have played so many games i woild have never tried and i live having the xbox studio games on release. i am a patient gamer so i always waited for a game to drop below $40. its nice having access to so many.

Subscription gaming has its problems but I'm with you on this.

That's so hard for me to fathom. For me it's Xbox controllers all the way. Funny how different individual preference can be. Really, I'm just glad we both have options that fit our needs.

I didn't budget for much of my adult life because I had barely enough money to get by. That changed,.and I had to learn how to budget because I knew I would still be living hand to mouth if I didn't. No matter how much I made.

I break my savings down into broad categories. It helps keep me honest. I can't imagine the overhead of budgeting for every single item I might need to replace someday.

Phew
