    I just checked my bottom ad. It was about repairing plastics, extremely inappropriate.

    to any interested, I put Brave on a friends iPad to get rid of ads. she predominantly watches music vids and the ads were incessant. also, at 80 yrs old, she is completely uninterested in any - lest any think she is 'riding (too) free'.

    Same.
    In the US this perverted idea of “blood and soil” over “constitutional principles” is the most radical and anti-democratic and anti-Conservative idea I have heard in my lifetime.
