"...on your car insurance." Gets me every time! :)
Success.
I imagine it's a video scheduled for future release, but you saw it as an edgecase (time zones?), so the "years ago" was probably negative one and wraps around to half a century.
This needs a genre name. Anti-horror?
At up to 100% productivity...
It's like a drug. I don't understand why ads are so enticing to mega corps. Why burn dollars worth of real customers and brand clout to chase pennys worth of hypothetical eyeball time?
Forwarx... for warx... for war? Ahh i get it.
I like seeing the detail that they painted the bottom sky-blue, and the top ocean-blue. Easy ounce of stealth?
Winning. So much wow!
In John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live, Hoffman lenses are depicted as special sunglasses that allow the wearer to see hidden messages and the true nature of their environment. When the protagonist, Nada, puts on these glasses, he can perceive the concealed presence of aliens and view subliminal messages such as "OBEY" and "CONSUME," which are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The lenses serve as a symbolic tool for revealing the film's critique of consumerism and social control.
I deal with a lot of VMs for varying purposes, and it seems frequent that my purpose for opening firefox is derailed by some kind of nag. For example, I frequently get the "you haven't used firefox in a while" in vms that I rarely use firefox and have to go disable the "meta refresh" option in the "about:config".
Now, I've started seeing this one... it's not even one of the passive banners but a full-page stop-the-world w/ semi-transparent background and right-click prevention.
Before I invest too much time trying to figure out how to disable these, or templating profile options en-masse, or the like... I thought I might ask... is there a way I can tell firefox that I only want it to only be a web-browser? i.e. an effective tool and not an attention sink or exciting video-game-like challenge of exploration and closing popups and suggestions while trying to remember why I launched it.
Somewhat relatedly, there is some kind of irony with firefox prominently offering to copy a URL without tracking for other sites, but when it is their own ad (however benign it might seem) that they disable right-clicks and load up on the trackers. The above button links to:
