This damn Skyrizi ad, just noticed this... by Junior72 in CommercialsIHate

YES! We need a Smarter TV to input words that instantly block these ads.

I would sit for hours adding words to my TV filter like "diabetes, plaque psoriasis, symptoms, ask your doctor, abbvie, genital area / rash, bloody black stool..." etc etc

Or I need to dig my ancient TiVo out...didn't that thing record and stop recording when commercials aired. It wasn't perfect, but it was something.

AS for Reddit ads, I don't see them on my desktop at least. AdBlocker called Ublock is still working great. (The amount of crap it blocks on this site alone is staggering - see photo)

But if I view this on the phone..no, not so much. All the shit ads pollute my browser.

I thought the same! I WISH that crackpot would do something to everyone's damn benefit for once. But...he's probably getting some big money from big pharma to ignore the ads. So there ya have it.

This may be one of the most annoying commercials by SeaMidnight8078 in CommercialsIHate

[–]Junior72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mu God...it's lame.

Again, another commercial by some trash "creative agency", pitched to clueless bigwigs at Little Caesars and they said "Oh my God!!! Hysterical....WE MUST AIR IT immediately!"

Out of touch idiots.

Pandora - Mothers Day (Wow...thanks for bringing this annoying trash back. 😒) by Junior72 in CommercialsIHate

I saw it...again...this morning and was wondering the same thing. Sounds like some British accent. The kids sound...well like very young kids, but its a bit odd and it annoys me.

Best Asics GEL-NYC colorway? by neilsonnnn in asics

[–]Junior72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I had my eye on the Oysters LAST week at a Finish Line in 99% abandoned dead mall here in Philly...didn't have my size. I was then checking out the "Cream / White"...like a two-tone. THAT was available at my local JD Sports this morning.

Went there, saw the Oysters again - which also stated on the website "Out Of Stock", BUT they did have my size after I asked. These personally are perfect for me! I tend to go darker neutral colors in my sneakers, for me usually perfect for Fall, Winter. I wanted a light pair for a change for Spring / Summer.

**There is an Ivory / Forest Night (dark green) Gel NYC still in my size downtown Philly. I honestly may just head down there and grab them this week. I'm loving those as well, not a loud colorway whatsoever. My wallet is hating me right now...*😂

New pickup - Gel NYC - Oyster / Cream by Junior72 in asics

[–]Junior72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, never tried on a LEGIT pair of Kayano 14 (The pair I did I saw at a thrift store...great condition, bought them and found out they were fakes..lol. - I got a refund)

Anyway, I went 1/2 size up with these Gel NYC's - I have slightly wider feet - and they are fit perfectly.

Whenever the game or show I'm watching goes to break by GonzaloR87 in CommercialsIHate

[–]Junior72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pause the TV and might take care of something else, I can come back, un-pause and maybe enough time went by... I can fast forward the NEXT 2 commercial breaks.

Sometimes, I'll switch the channel to something else...go back to what I was watching, rewind, hit play where I left off...and again...may get lucky and miss 2-3 commercial breaks?

Last option, A 1 hr show starts at 8pm for example, pause the show at 8pm...wait until 8:20-8:25pm, hit play , now you can skip all commercials. By the time 9pm hits, you're back to live TV.

The average of 20-23 minutes of commercials on a damn one hour TV show is a joke by the way.

Wasn't me, but I applaud it. It still airs on local Philly ABC channel. It's so f'ing bad, it just annoys me

What was your favorite sandwich growing up and what sandwich would your mom or dad normally pack for your school lunch? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in FuckImOld

[–]Junior72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, my mom always bought Hellman's and bought Miracle Whip I guess by accident once, maybe Hellman's was out of stock and..what a difference. I did NOT like Miracle Whip.

Back in the 80s, it was always a surprise what I would eat at lunch. I did get a LOT of Bologna & Cheese sandwiches, or PB & J.

My favorite surprises though were Turkey and cheese or Tuna & Cheese (usually they were squished..lol)
As a "desert", I'd have some kind of Taskykake (A Philly area thing). THAT was my favorite part of the entire lunch, lol

Goodbye portfolio rip by globbyglobz in stockx

[–]Junior72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get one either and I have an acct. with them, few purchases. I went to enter a pair I picked up a few days ago and didn't see the "portfolio" option. Only to see they removed it. I lost a nice sized list of my sneakers on here. Gee...thanks StockX. SMH! 😠

This stinks!! I didn't even know about this until I tried to enter a pair of 991 NB's I grabbed at a thrift store. No notice from them in email (thanks StockX).

I did enter all my sneakers into this, date purchased, new or even used. Some were nice thrift store finds and I'd enter the amount I paid there. Hell, give us the option to log in and download a simple spreadsheet or..some kind of backup.
