I have had AOL for twenty years, and I have lived with their ads, but I don't know if I can continue. They are showing pro-Trump ads with Lara Trump talking to McConnell and Graham, and blurbs about scientists who think COVID-19 came from a Chinese lab.
I just want to play Spades, dammit.
Anyone else got a good card-playing website?

(6,145 posts)When I thought I was pretty good. Somewhere along the way, I lost my edge.
I stopped playing with others many years ago. Possibly when Trump became president. There is a level of ugliness when it comes to playing with others, if you make a mistake or a bad play. There's no knowing when it will come at you. I don't even like it when my opponents get yelled at. Even if I know it was a bad play. Just say "sorry, my bad, I'll do better next time". AND, if someone suggests a strategy for becoming better, like counting cards, when to lead low, when to lead high, etc. I would respect that. But no, the ugliness is too much for me, so I play against computers.

(6,145 posts)Silly me, I forgot to say thank you!
It has been a pleasure to go and play a simple game of spades with no ads.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much!

(5,923 posts)I do get constantly bombarded with ads for a certain type of mattress because I was casually interested in shopping for one, and clicked on the ad in the margin. I wonder if you made the same mistake with a piece of Trump clickbait?

(5,639 posts)It says no ads and doesn't require signup, but they recommend it for best experience. Not sure how good it is as I don't play Canasta. But it is free! Check it out and I hope it works out for you.
