I am a Strange Loop -
Can thought arise out of matter? Can self, soul, consciousness, `I` arise out of mere matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here?

The ones that annoyed me the most were eCommerce sites - Best Buy being the example that comes to mind. The very purpose of the ENTIRE. FUCKING. SITE. is to sell me something. I am going there looking for specific things I am interested in. Why the fuck do they insist on having additional advertising?!?

Can you tell me what it's actually doing? For you, I'll turn it on if I know.

I can only describe the experience as awful. Sites that I have visited daily, which did have minimal advertising shown, are suddenly crowded with garbage, some based on Amazon searches, some based on some alternate reality where I give a shit about wrinkles, grey hair and the Kardashians.
Crowded to the point where I had to make an effort to find the actual content.
