Congrats, you ruled.

This is so good and I have no one to share it with.

I want to get off Mr bones wild ride.

Sure friend. Have a good day. Genuinely. 🤝

Dude, I’m sorry, but you are wrong. Everything is advertising. Even IF you somehow manage to avoid ads, others don’t. They form opinions around ads and that will filter through to you in one way or another.

Shitty and annoying ads ABSOLUTELY have the opposite effect. They make you avoid things when they are bad - you know what thats called? Bad advertising. You will never know when you are hit by a good advertisement. All the online research you do for your stuff - some of the people that wrote the things you researched may have been swayed by advertisements, then that tickles down to you.

If you know what Nike, Adidas, Gap, McDonalds, Walmart is - then advertising works. Brand recognition is advertising.

Simple as that.

But look, I will drop this convo, I promise im not trying to troll or annoy you. I just wanted to point out advertising is so much deeper than just you seeing an ad and immediately buying it. Its been around for centuries and it wouldnt still be happening if it wasnt effective.

edit: BTW - You said Pop-socket. Not phone stand. Pop-socket is a brand. You are advertising for them. I’m just saying. Advertising works. :)

So, in your entire life – You’ve never seen an ad for a product / service / event and said, oh - that’s interesting - I’ll check that out.

You’ve never seen a movie trailer and been like “oh cool - that movie looks fun, I’ll go see that.”

You’ve never gotten an email to remind you that something you’ve been interested in finally became available so you can finally pick it up?

Shit. You are an advertisement. You can’t tell me you’ve never worn a piece of clothing that didn’t have a label on it or seen someone else cool hat / shirt / jacket with a logo and then check that out.

Advertising is not just “getting a item at the store that you didnt intend to buy” - advertising is a long con. Advertising is everywhere, To think that advertising has never swayed you in any way is ignorant.

You don’t need remember ads. You see ads, then you notice the item in the store. Remembering the ad is not the point. the point of the ad is to keep you reminded that the item/service exists. You are not immune. Sorry.

i think i blocked that dog. i dont have that dog in me.

No kidding.

Whew. I didn’t peep that time stamp. Big bro was screenshotting to send his room mate probably. It’s gonna be chill AF at the pond yo.

It’s kidding all the way down.

Damn. Lil frog bro just wants to hang out with his big frog bro and he’s getting straight frog ghosted. Smh.

Ads are subliminal and you are kidding yourself if you think you are immune.

Edit - except for perfume ads, those are pointless.

Bonk

Someone is gonna screenshot this and post it, I’m sure.

Okay, but is it morally right to continually pursue someone who says they are innocent and that it didn’t happen? There wasn’t sufficient evidence to prove anything? I’m not saying the woman did this for money and attention - but what if she did? Otherside of the coin. But you are right, we can’t brand him a rapist and we can’t say she wasn’t raped, the only thing you can say is that the case was dropped and he’s not being charged with rape.

Edit - I don’t like my argument. I don’t want to assume someone made up being raped, but I also don’t have any knowledge on what happened. It’s a shitty opaque situation and I hope that no one was raped and no one is lying - but I know they can’t both be true.

That’s a pretty narrow-minded view but okay.
