It’s helping but every week that goes by the weekly ad team uses the same pictures that make me uncomfortable despite writing in about them being out of place

How often do you need to use the ads ?
How often are you shopping, buying stuff from these people?
They change out every week. The ads are used to show what savings/Bogo’s/deals customers can buy. The ad may have to be brought out if a customer wants another product that is on sale.
I work at this place as well as shop there (usually on my break). The ads are usually in a flier or placed around the store in direct or indirect form (signs, fliers, notepads, cups, pictures of food or strange marketing tactics like a green string or a laundry hamper being used as a grocery bag).
I got an actual tiny shopping cart!
it’s gotten worse.
My greatest concern these days isn't so much in what advertisers put out there en mass, but their use of computer algorithms to guess at what *they think* we want to see. When more often than not they are dead wrong.
And whether the advent of AI might change the calculus, but in the process become outrageously more intrusive than it already is. Having a computer analyze me in every way, shape and form is not my idea of technological progress.
That was one thing I very much enjoyed about the film "Minority Report". That the real star and story of this film was how intrusive technology is, and how much more we may have to deal with in the future.

The cereal looks very unnatural. I wouldn’t be surprised if glue was used to make it look fluffy.Remember how big the K on boxes of Special K cereal used to look?
Probably true.
These dreidels look way too small to be real
One weekend when I was in first grade we traveled to Buffalo for my cousin’s bar mitzvah. We stayed at a Sheraton hotel. The elevator was a see-through glass elevator that showed a view of the outside. It was the first time I’d ever been in an elevator like that, so it certainly was surprising. Then in the hotel room there was the Sheraton logo with the big S inside the round laurel design border on different things in there, like the wastebasket and the ice container. In the bathroom there was a great big logo on the shower curtain. That made me the most uncomfortable.

My main issue with specific pictures making me uncomfortable is how based in reality they are. I’d like to hear more about your point.

I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.
