Jeopardy. All ads muted.

We hike, participate in civic activities (trash, food pantry, etc) read, etc.

News is primarily via DU, then to the linked source if interested.

if youtube feeds me an ad: muted

if we are somewhere (visiting, waiting rooms, etc) where tv is playing, the ads are extremely loud, really annoying, and frankly outright shit.

been like that for over 5 years.

i found that my “wants” have dropped to nothing.
