  • Here’s the thing.

    I’ve been watching TV occasionally - she watches junk TV on this huge thing she got, and, nahhh. I usually do streaming - and every now and then an advert that comes on is actually for a product I’ve never heard of. It’ll be something dumb like little Caesar’s crazy French toast or some shit, but, to the ad’s credit, I would never have known about it if I didn’t see the ad.

    But, 95% of ads are absolute junk. Payday loans, reverse mortgages, Dodge Rams; junk. I’d love to see the new products and Superbowl ads, and then nothing else.


  • This isn’t complete bunk. The new indicator of wealth is healthy teeth. Poor kids don’t get to go to he dentist regularly, so have more problems later on; rich kids get regular cleanings to prevent buildup, and have much healthier teeth.

    The trick was making us equate white-white teeth with healthy teeth, even though there’s a shade of ‘white’ that is just healthy, clean enamel with no plaque buildup but isn’t true white.

    I only retained this when I heard it as I was a poor kid and, wow, am I glad I have a good job as our dental care is still mercenary as fuck.
