The fact OP posts this question tells me she’s not ready

I use my headphone jack daily. It’s nice to see there are still (albeit very few) manufacturers providing this

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

You don’t have to be gay to make out with your guy friends

Sasha and Digweed, that must have been a hell of a show

Depends on what you classify as an ad.

Ive started watching the series Long Way Round, which is essentially an ad for BMW.

I click on steam sale ads for video games.

When local stores have sales, they have ads for those sales on their websites which I click on from time to time - recently I was shopping for a soundbar and a local store was having a sale on soundbars so I clicked that ad on their website.

When ads aren’t too intrusive, and they’re relevant, and they’re not peddling garbage I don’t have too much of a problem with them

I miss using my old lg phones, I had the v30, v40, and v50 and they were basically perfect. Now when I shop for phones it’s like looking for the least bad option

Australia doesn’t manufacturer cars any more. All cars in Australia are imported. Unless I’m misunderstanding your comment?

If you think overtaking is dangerous, perhaps you should have your mega-ute taken away

YouTube revanced gives me ad blocking with sponsor block included

Microsoft urges me to use a different operating system

As an Australian, A ute isn’t exactly a pickup, although we don’t use the term pickup so not exactly sure, it’s like a sedan with a bed/tray. My understanding is a pickup is higher off the ground than a traditional sedan.

Think of an El Camino - that’s a ute

Totally in the same boat. Less diversity and less content, but I don’t mind that. I like that I can can run out of content and it’s a nice reminder I’ve probably been on my phone too much and should do something else with my time. Using Lemmy feels healthier than using Reddit.
