I have not had a year that is, was, or was going to be "my year" by intent, circumstance, or result, in any way, shape, or form, ever.
It just hasn't happened to me.
I've never expected it to happen, I've never tried to make it happen.
2026 will be no different than the hell we've been dealing with for the last 10+ years. In fact, it will most likely be worse than previous years.
Yeah... As a technology person (working IT for many years now), it's more likely that there's some bad interaction between the browser, Adblock and the service that does the reviews. They've found a way to get an image to load regardless if the review applet works.
My bet would be that the Adblock is preventing the site from loading the necessary code to show the review submission "page". This image is up behind the review regardless of if it works, is just that if the review thing works, it covers this up.
Sounds to me that this is a courtesy message basically saying that Adblock thinks the review thing is an ad.
Wow, that's a dick move before the pregnant wife.
Most of that stuff can be picked up for $20 or less, often much less.
Good luck finding a $20 turkey, nevermind a ham, nor cooking it.
You're completely justified by being annoyed. I'd be fucking pissed.
