But with every single Paddy Power ad, the report option was always conveniently blocked out, so I could never stop them from showing up.
Not sure what happened that their ads suddenly stopped appearing, given I still get ads for other gambling sites.

Yep, I don't see them anymore, but at one point I would keep getting ads for a particular gambling site, Paddy Power.
Big thing that always bugged me, was that with most other ads, if it was something I didn't want to see, I could report it and the algorithm would attempt to stop showing that ad.

Ah, the comic that could have been. Would have loved to see what you'd have done with poison ivy after reading your Harleen comic.

That's my local zoo! (Instantly recognised the steps of the snow leopard enclosure, between their indoor and outdoor sections)
Absolutely adore the Snow Leopards.

Given the track record, its absolutely unsurprising that the party that claims they are trying to protect the kids will do absolutely nothing about this, and will either try to brush it off or downplay it.

Unsurprising that AI is being used for this. I had to stop using an image site because of this. They'd been promoting using an ai tool to generate images for a while, but then the sheer amount of generated porn depicting minors that started popping up, that I know the owners will do nothing about.

Unfortunately it seems a more and more difficult process. Before getting in, Starter at least held some promise, but has ended up being just as bad those he replaced.
And that just seems to be a constant issue we've had.

Another, on a smaller degree was being called cute to my face. As someone who doesn't really put himself out there in terms of dating, due to some self-confidence issues, that really put a skip in my step.

Have 2 things id consider.
First was going to my first gig since the pandemic, and went all in, getting into the crowds, joining in with the mosh pit, (unintentionally) and even crowd-surfing.
Big change from my usual habit of just hanging round near the back.

Tatiana Maslany is halfway there. With how quickly the new DCU is expanding, I'm sure there's a blue-skinned hero/villain we could petition she plays?

Scientists debate wether ability to fly is an innate ability they discovered, or if they developed the means of transport in order to impact the human population via fear-induced cardiac arrest.

Amazing how someone can claim to be Buddhist, but gets so easily triggered by being educated because his single-digit IQ refuses to be enlightened to reality.

Especially laughable that he claims there are plenty of ways for you to get in touch to get this dealt with, despite them essentially already having you blocked, and proceeding to call others scammers for calling him out on this.
