in the near future, practical effects might come back into popularity among box office movies because it will be just that much more a spectacle after we became so used computer-generated effects

Reporting Ads on the Internet: Does it Work?

Does anything happen after I report an ad? as far as I'm concerned, I'm only able to actually report ads served by Google and not third-party or independent ads (which are honestly the most problematic and cumbersome to see constantly).

The following is not necessary, but an elaboration in case I didn't make my point very clear (which tends to happen, honestly)

Like everytime I visit a site for downloading something, there's suddenly four ads on all sides of the screen deliberately placed and being used to mislead the user into downloading something, particularly the technologically-illiterate and inadept.

It's a little tiring even for me, someone who normally wouldn't click on them.

But when I visit the site for the first time and I'm not yet used to their design, I have to take a second look to check if there's the little indicator in the corner revealing it's an ad.

Of course, absolutely be aware of what you're clicking on and only download what you know is safe, but not everyone knows that.

If you ask grandma to download something, she may end up clicking on a malicious or misleading ad instead. This isn't excusing all of that, but it's still a question I have.

And again, thanks for any helpful tips or knowledge in advance :)

I really like the part in a movie in either a post-apocalypse or some kind of time-warping setting is when the character ends up in a vibrant environment like a nightclub or something but it's just empty except for the character

Music like Nine Inch Nails, The Excellent Man From Minneapolis, Video Game Soundtracks especially with thought-provoking or personally-significant lyrics

I think about the song King Park by LA Dispute and how it paints an entire story with the lyrics and has scream lyrics, and I want that but with the sounds and melodies of Nine Inch Nails and other synth music but with lyrics that mean something (ground-breaking stuff, I know), perhaps to tell a story or just to express a feeling.

Any recommendations?

below I will list some music I personally like:

*$uicideboy$* (specifically their flow, it's very well-done in my opinion, and I only just now got into them)

*Hoist the Colours* (Originally from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, the one I like specifically is the bass singers version, it scratches an itch)

*Hozier's and Bear McCreary's 'Blood Upon The Snow'*
