Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."

Those are so atrocious. I just found out the closest gas station near my house installed big ass screens on the pumps that are bigger than my largest tablet and have impressively loud speakers. The station previously didn’t have any video screens so when I passed by the screen to unscrew the gas cap, and it started blasting the ad I nearly jumped out of my skin.

I don’t have a clue where another gas station without the ad screens even is. Blegh 😮‍💨

The ones around me have a big old mute button and I’ve gotten into the habit of hitting that button as gas starts to flow so I don’t hear more than a second or two of whatever garbage they’re playing

  …yeah, my wife tells me some stations have started disabling the mute button; haven’t encountered one yet but the day i do is the day i start carrying an icepick to mute those speakers the old-fashioned way…

    I have a standing bounty, 1/8oz good weed for proof of dead surveillance infra. One little shit tried turning in three parts off the same plate reader
    
    Anyways, the kids are alright and would probably help you out if properly incentivized ;)

The pumps around here in the middle state have all muted their ads or at least have the volumes turned way down. When I drive somewhere else they catch me off guard.
