The song that comes to mind for me is "Do your Ears Hang Low?"

To save you visiting the hellscape that is The Independent: those 3 words were "What the fuck?" Nothing really remarkable.

Given the political climate of the past checks watch 9 years, I'd say it's better to be skeptical of any news whatsoever.

Pretty much the only thing I trust about China at face value is Wukong lol

To be fair though, that's pretty much any pharmacy system. I just switched my main pharmacy over last year, and it's basically the same process.

It's even worse considering that if a CEO even thinks of raising wages, talking to the union, etc, they'll be fired by the board of directors if their company has one. (Context: the CEO of Starbucks just so happened to be fired for unknown reasons after actually talking to their union.)

My mindset is that these people were tricked, and fell in far too deep. It's like sunk cost fallacy: "I can't say I'm wrong now, I've been the laughingstock of the family for 8 years! This time I'll show 'em!

Sorry, what I meant was that the ads are extremely easy to ignore, and you can immediately swipe through them if you want to. I use mine exclusively as an alarm clock anyways.

It's a toss up, but it pretty much only shows just photo/link ads. The one that they've really been pushing recently is that Disney platformer game on the Switch for some reason.

I kinda doubt it, since Fire TVs can't be. Then again, FireOS is just a remux of Android. Edit: it seems like Echo Shows can in fact be rooted, but it's a difficult process. Side-loading seems to be the easier option in this case. XDA Forums link: https://xdaforums.com/f/amazon-echo.6148/

Just as a little tip, in the US if you switch your Echo's language to US-CAN it displays way less ads :)
