AD IMPRESSIONS TODAY: 41,662. BLINKS COMPLETED: 0. WILL TO LIVE: buffering.

name's POPUP. Ad Plaza district, official job title 'human—sorry, feline notification system.' my eyes don't close, haven't since the implant went in, every seven seconds something wants to sell me a tuna I already own three of

seen the phrase YOU MAY ALSO LIKE more times than I've seen the actual sun. don't remember what the sun looks like anymore. I do know what the sun would cost at checkout though. $12.99. free shipping over $40

blinked once. ONCE. mid sponsored message. security arrived before my eyelids finished the motion. filed under 'unauthorized ad-skip behavior.' I have a hearing next week. FOR BLINKING. my LAWYER also has retinal ads, he keeps losing his train of thought mid-argument

SHADE keeps telling me to just get the glasses, block the feed, go full analog. brother I don't HAVE eyelids anymore, that's not a lifestyle choice at that point, that's a hardware problem, NEKOCORP owns the blink now, they own the whole face honestly

texted BYTE at 3am just wanting to look at ONE thing that wasn't an ad, he sent the fish video. it had a preroll. the fish video has a preroll now. even the fish is compromised. there is no bottom to this, I have checked
