More and more places are blocking vpns from connecting to their networksSetup VPN on your device (I use CyberGhost Free version) and carry on. I would suggest never connecting to a public WiFi (McDonalds, Wendy's, Chuckies, hotels, ...) without using a VPN.
I get ads for knives in my news feed all the time. I also follow the pages of several local gun stores that list their specials/etc in posts on a regular basis.I get so tired of double-standards and hypocrisy. As some of you here know, I run the Fiddleback Outpost online store (reminds me - I probably need to post some updates of the cool blades and other gear we have). Because our primary line of product is camping/bushcrafting knives, we can't advertise on Facebook, Instagram, Google Ad Words, etc. etc. as they consider us a "weapons dealer". Their response to our objection that these are not weapons is that it's their site, their rules (which is absolutely true) and we're "free to advertise elsewhere". That is very difficult when other sites share the same policy and it effectively blocks you form any social media advertising whatsoever. Heaven forbid we sold guns....

You're extremely lucky to work in such a placeMy firewall at work defaulted with those settings, I asked my office manager if she could fix that and she did so quickly. We like our guns around here.
I've got to agree with you about the Trashy thing. My daughter who loves that place and I've taken her before even somewhat recently and it was just absolutely terrible. Haven't tried the one in Richmond County yet but I'm kind of afraid it's just going to be a replay of all the other ones I've been to.I don't know about your area, but every Chuck E Cheese I've been to... well its one of those places you want to be armed. I don't know what it is about them, but they seem to attract the most trashy people.
I do have fond memories though when they were Showbiz Pizza. Of course the 80s (when I was a kid) were a bit different.
That one up by Augusta Mall is the one we've been to recently in past few years for birthday parties my daughter has been invited to.I've got agree with you about the Trashy thing.

I was worried about that. My daughter loves Monkey Joe's, we go there very often to the one off Furys Ferry and my daughter and I both probably enjoy that one better especially me it's just a higher level of clientele. We haven't tried out airstrike yet but we probably will try to very soon thanks for the recommendation.That one up by Augusta Mall is the one we've been to recently in past few years for birthday parties my daughter has been invited to.
Thankfully my daughter has gotten to the age now where kids don't want to go there, they prefer places like Airstrike and Monkey Joes.
I'd rather be stripped naked, coated in honey and dragged through a fire-ant bed than take my three kids to Chuck E. Cheese.
