    My mom: I don’t want ad blocker I want to see what the ads are selling!

    Also my mom: Malware ridden phone I have to clean every two months

    She has a constant stream of useless, scammy shit from temu ripoffs being sent to her house constantly and I just had to get some AI face filter subscription she swears she didn’t sign up for off her bank account.

    But she’ll constantly tell you how much she hates technology.

      The cringe I crunge at “I want to see what the ads are selling” like that is some straight up boomer mindset, like nothing against your mom, but like it’s insane to me that there’s an entire cohort of people who kind of think this way. Like they always had so much money they needed ads to help them figure out how to spend it. Must have been cool

        Yep iv have read and thought for minimum 2 hours, probably way more, for a 50 euro mouse

        Ive done the same for a keyboard,i know some of the flaws in the software used for the fucking remaping of keys, i could probably reflash the firmware with minimum additional research, for a keyboard i dont actualy have

        And people are out there buying the crap on ads

        Im simply haveing a hard time imagening what exactly they are thinking

        Nah, I agree entirely. I cringe very often when in her presence. She is the stereotypical oilfield money boomer.
