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

The PhD Dissertation Process
A few of you have been talking to me and asking about what a PhD thesis defense and process actually consists of. What does it look like? So I thought I’d take a moment to explain the thesis process and the defense(s).
The first step is writing dissertation proposal (often called a Prospectus). This doesn’t have to be SUPER long (usually 20-50 pages), and it outlines the motivation and methods you intend to use in order to conduct a thesis-length research project.
In my program, you defend the Prospectus in a closed session with the committee (3 faculty members from your department and one outside committee member). You prepare a ~20 minute presentation, and then questioning goes as long as goes. In my case, this was about an hour and a half. Given their suggestions and comments/concerns, your proposal then gets approved or not. My proposal was approved in February 2016.
Then you DO the actual work. In my case, this involved 10 weeks doing fieldwork, crazy amounts of reading and analysis, and then you write the book! It is still crazy to me that I know enough to write an entire book. You work with your committee through all of this stage, taking advice and switching things up depending on how things work out.
Once you have a full draft, you begin working with your committee on the writing, presentation/interpretation, and packaging of the results. I’ve been in pretty much daily meetings with committee members for a week now and will continue to do so for the next 2. Crazy amounts of revisions and re-working so that you’re ready for the defense.
The defense itself is a public event - anyone may attend. (Mine is on November 3) The PhD candidate prepares a 30-45 min lecture on their thesis work. This is not nearly long enough to present everything, so we typically focus on a single chapter or aspect of the analysis. It then opens up for the committee to question the candidate. This usually takes about an hour, and it is MEANT to be rough. It is MEANT to be ruthless. You have to prove yourself as an expert in your field. This is the big deal. Once the committee exhausts their questions, it opens up to the full audience. Anyone can ask questions then. This is typically another hour or so. Once the Q&A is finished, you wait while the committee deliberates. They then approve your thesis (and you get to be called Doctor) or not. My committee honestly would not have allowed me to schedule a defense if they didn’t plan on passing me. The question is just which revisions will be necessary in order to pass.
Once you’ve been approved, you get 6 months to make the necessary revisions to the document before filing your final version with the university! Once you file, it is OFFICIAL OFFICIAL… but after the defense is when we usually start throwing around the Doctor title. :-D
So there you have it! It is a LONG process, and it is HARD, and it is meant to be RUTHLESS. You have to be a special level of crazy to take on the thing, and it is so surreal to be near the end now!!!
10 rules for writing a good headline
1. Self-interest. What’s in it for the reader.
2. Arouse curiosity. Make them STOP and ask, “How can that be?” or “What do they mean by that?” Then answer the question well.
3. Does your ad SINGLE OUT your intended audience?
4. Is it EASY to understand?
5. Is it newsworthy?
6. Is it believable? David Oglivy: “The customer is not a moron. She’s your wife.”
7. Quick results.
8. Be specific.
9. Something of value.
10. Make it well known. Brand names and testimonials make people feel comfortable.
