If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would

“Please oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you don’t you’re evil!”

Freeloader Comin’ through!

We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).

And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.

Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.

Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker. 

Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:

Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature

Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu

And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”

And then just refreshed the page

when people who want to be vaguely progressive say 'nature' all secular style but it's painfully obvious they mean 'god' while thinking they don't mean god

"natural behaviour" "the natural body" "nature intended" "nature created" no da fuck it didn't

“Culture tends to argue that it forbids only that which is unnatural. But from a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behaviour, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist, so it would need no prohibition.” - Yuval Noah Harari

I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?

Tell your children about your medical history.

I think that if a post by someone who has blocked u is on your dashboard it should show up with the like and reblog buttons disabled and some manner of scowling devil imp or beast next to their url

The trolley is about to run over all sentient life in the galaxy. You cannot switch the tracks, but you can still save everyone’s lives by pulling one of three levers, all of which involve sacrificing yourself. The red lever will destroy all trolleys, but will also kill you as well as all public transportation across the galaxy. The blue lever will merge your own consciousness with all trolleys, allowing you to control them and stop the trolley from running everyone over. The green lever will use your body as a catalyst to synthesize organic life and public transportation together - organic life will no longer be stuck in the cycle of creating public transportation that rebels against its creators, and both forms of life will finally be free.

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

Tier List

S Tier: Green Line - High up and long circular motions are the sauce. Absolute banger.

A Tier: Blue Line - Nothing special in terms of line structure, but the texture on the beads are what make this one so great

B Tier: Yellow Line - The Right Angled motions are honestly mesmerizing

C Tier: Orange Line - The Vertical Up and Down motions can be fun but it just comes across as clunky

F Tier: Red Line - What are you even doing

are you fucking kidding me the red line beads are a FAR more compelling texture than the blue line. “oh but the red line is booring.” the appeal is in how it interacts with and highlights the other lines you philistine. without the red line there’s no cohesion at all. read a book.

Literally hop off. Red doesn’t even use gravity as an element in the main route. Orange is one of the only three lines (with green and yellow) to actually use gravity to add complexity to the route, and is honestly an underrated pick. Have fun playing “push left” simulator with red. Idiot.

Do not cite the deep magics to me, witch. I was there when it was written.

This isn’t old this is fucking XP

Wasn’t this like one or two generations ago

What generation are we on now

windows XP came out in 2001 (2001 was twenty two years ago) and its last update was put out in 2008 (2008 was fifteen years ago), since XP windowls has released Vista, 7, 8, 10, and finally the most curent windows version windows 11. so no XP wasnt one or two generations ago…. it was five generations ago…. and that is…. wow

That can’t possibly be right.

now obviously if Maul l had managed to shut up for once and Ahsoka had agreed to work with him they still probably wouldn’t have gotten back in time to stop Anakin from doing anything monumentally stupid and order 66 from happening, but they might have gotten back in time to meet Anakin when he marched on the temple, and I, personally, think there would be nothing funnier than Ahsoka seeing Anakin and Anakin seeing Ahsoka and Maul and both of them going “You’re working with the sith! >:o” at the exact same time

Literally this

Obi-Wan: [desperately trying to hail the jedi temple]

Maul: "Kenobi! Finally!”

Obi-Wan: “What—Why—”

Maul: “Look, to be blunt, the situation here is spiraling and I’m getting sick of killing puppets while your little brood bickers—when am I getting my vengeance?”

Obi-Wan: 

Obi-Wan: “Why are you answering this line?”

Maul: “Is that really important right now? Aren’t you more concerned with—”

Obi-Wan: “Answer the question!”

Maul: “Ugh. Because SOME people are too focused on their little squabbles to notice the GALAXY BURNING TO ASH”

Anakin: “I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS!”

Ahsoka: “Wait, wait—who are you talking to?”

Obi-Wan: “Ashoka? Anakin? Are you alright? What’s going on there? Why are you with Maul?”

Anakin: “SHE’S WORKING WITH HIM!”

Obi-Wan: “That’s absurd—I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for whatever she’s done. Anakin, please, things are bad enough already—my men have turned on me and I need your help. Take a deep breath and calm down before you do anything rash.”

Ahsoka: “Oh we’re well past that point.”

This would be even better if inexplicably Obi Wan shows with Ventress.
