Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…

      I do this too. Speedway and Shell play video ads on their pumps with no obvious mute options. I don’t buy gas there.

        You shouldn’t be buying from Shell anyway given their history of human rights violations around the world. And in the more recent decades, their fight against eco-friendliness.

        Of course all oil companies are shit, but for now it’s a necessary evil, and some are worse than others.

      I wish I could do this. There are none left in my area and I’m not drilling and refining my own gas.

        good time to switch to organic, gluten-free, vegan, open source, self-hosted and family-grown biomass fuel

      Its always the one gas station that is a little run down and is the common place for violent crime
