Dafuq is this homoerotic shit? “Cremo” as a company name? Might as wall call it “just the tip” for fuck’s sake

Sorry mate, this is super scammy looking.

“Wolves Forever”? What the fuck does that even mean?

So, suddenly I am getting ads for insulated yoga pants. I guess I should expect a tidal wave of pumpkin spice latte ads

Ah, there it is, Temu ads make an appearance. I am sure that a pair of boots that cost only $1.98 and with free shipping are going to be swell.

Maybe they aren’t totally off. I am getting old. Alas, I am getting mighty close to 60 years old, so it is my demographic. But also I know that there is no magic elixir to halt aging, so I am not ever going to spend my coin on useless dietary “supplements[1](#footnote-1)”

Hmm, a quiz to find an Anime soulmate. Nah bro, I’m good. Gotta wonder how they can afford these ads. How the hell do they make money?

I am not in the market for a car, but, if I was, I probably wouldn’t be swayed by display ads from an automaker. Me thinks BMW is not wisely spending their ad euros.

That’s enough for now folks!
