I assume that because you keep complaining on any thread you can and not talking about taking any action. If you've cleared the cookies and you're still getting the incest/S&M ads, then it's definitely because everyone here hates you and is out to get you.

Yeah, your cookies are jacked up. For like the 10th time, clear them and see what happens.

I know it takes a lot on to convince you of something. Show-Me State or whatever, yada yada yada. But ads are 100% served up based on the individual device with Google Ad Services, which Phil uses. Period. (Or Turtle Period in your case). Idk how you cookies got whacked out where you get these weird ads, but it's your device that is giving Google the information to choose the ads, not the site/admin saying "give something to X user because I want to mess with him" or whatever you think. That is how it works. Just like rain falls from the sky and it gets hot in the summer, that's how it works. Clear the cookies on you phone and see if it changes.

Good for you. I hope your recovery continues. 9/1 is just around the corner.

@Bill Babler what's got you laid up watching instead of catching?

I see 3 in your pic but that dark one is tricky. Definitely Sasquatch.

Good point. That's why egg flies, flesh flies, chamois worms, mega worms and power bait work everywhere, coast to coast.

That's really neat. I'm pretty sure I have a bunch of pink SJ Worms, but I suck so much w/ fly catching that I mainly use jigs now. I'm taking a couple co-workers Sunday to Taney and we will definitely be using pink worms near the Landing. I remember as a kid buying a pack of pink floating bubblegum worms after reading an article in Field and Stream or Bassmaster. I just don't understand it.

Is there a little box to close it? Some ads allow you close and mark in some way--offensive, not interesting, etc. @bfishn said the same thing. Maybe it's the sideway triangle? I don't visit the forum on my phone. Sorry. It's a horrifying/gross image, so I'm on your side w/ this.

Why pink? Pink hoppers, pink worms. I've caught them at RR on pink jigs. Seems like a rarely occurring natural color.

Very impressive trip. Great post.

Late to the party, but I always superglue a Honey Nut Cheerio to the trap. Makes it very hard to steal.

I'm curious about the faux outrage. It's downright snowflake-ish. I thought Google Ad Services were common knowledge. I'm not saying Wrench is googling creepy eastern European porn jokes, but Phil has not control over it. Clear your cookies and start over and see if that makes a difference.

You're correct @Phil Lilley, you have nothing to do with the ads. It's all algorithm based on the user. I turned off my blocker and I also have HBO Max and Microsoft Azure analytics, probably because that's what I'm writing about. Sorry @fishinwrench. It's you.

Sure, I'd love a screenshot of you browsing history. I've used an ad blocker for years, so I don't see any ads here or anywhere else. Wish I could be of more help in your quest to avoid weird boob ads.

Aren't ads served up by Google based on the individual's cookies (ie browsing history and interests)? So, what else do you browse for besides fishing forums?

It says it's only 4 hrs old (as of 7:17 pm) I'm surprised it's taken this long. And I'm surprised the trout parks and Taney haven't turned on spin fisherman.

What happened? Maybe I missed the thread on this.

I think it's the Coast Guard, not the Corp. Here's a thread from 2007 the @Phil Lilley started.

I feel for your daughter and all healthcare workers. I can't imagine how it feels to lose so many patients. There are a lot professions that are exposed to large numbers of people, too. Retail workers, teachers, food service, the list goes on. Those people are at risk, too, and personally, I feel like I should care about them. The fact that there was almost no flu season last winter tells us that masking works.

The information that came out today is just frightening. Vaccinated people with little to no symptoms spreading at the same rate as sick people. The infection rate of 1:8 or 9. It's just scary if you have to be around people at all and it really feels like no one in my neck of the woods is taking it seriously.

Man, you are living the life. Jealous. You post great catches.

Great. Phil's got our IPs. Oneshot is off the grid. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Wow. That's at least the 3rd James River walleye in the last couple weeks. What's going on? Glad you're back at it. If I remember correctly, your shooter was just sentenced. Hope that brings some closure.

however, I did not hit the Powerball. I did win $17 on a scratched though. So, will you take $17? Straight cash, homey.
