I thought you never 'saw' advertising or it didn't affect you.

Thats not advertising, thats searching, stupid.


So yuo've found a way of not geting targeted
or any other ads from amazon or ebay, how.


Dont have to read anything they send you.
Even you should be able to manage that.


But yuo still see it even yuor mostly unconscious mind sees it, yes even yours must be able to pick up on such things.


You;ve never seen an ad for amazon prime either have you.
Perhaps because you donlt see them as ads is your problem.
I get ads all the time for similar products.


You dont have to read them.


It's harder not to read the headlines or the bits that they want you to see..
I had to read that in order to decide whether to delete the email or act on it.


I got one today for this :-


180 Pieces M2.5 Male Female Hex Brass Spacer Standoff Screw...


Because on friday I was looking for spacers to
restock lab supplies before the start of term.


Even you should be able to use an ad blocker.


It wasn;t anyhting an ad blocker could detect, as it was send to my college email address where I aslo get notifications of deliveries and updats from amazon, I do NOT wish to block those.
I don't want an ad blocker, I want to know if another supplier has such things cheaper or easier to get.



Same with drinking glasses, few tell you the rim thickness
and thats important if you hate the thick rimmed glasses.

One reason for not shopping on-line you can feel the objects and with
glasses
you can flick them to test for quality depending what sort of glass you
want.

What I said.


No how do yuo flick them on-line.


Dont need to flick them, look at the pic, ****wit.


and you trust the pic, and you can tell how thick the glass is ?

I think we all know how thick yuo are.
