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

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.

[bramblepatch]

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

big bang theory is awful for obvious reasons but honestly shout out to them for inventing “bazinga” so i have a word i can drop into any conversation for a one-hit kill

“Bazinga” and “everypony” are the closest we will get to real-world dragon shouts.

No ones asking you to go outside and make out with a wasp or become the worlds #1 wasp advocate we’re asking you to stop making “death to all wasps” and “wasps are evil” into a personality trait because, for people like me, who do work with and care about these creatures and their importance public perception is so incredibly interlinked with conservation

“Save the bees” for example, is incredibly popular but public is almost entirely applied to the European Honey Bee, a commercial species that is farmed by humans and therefore has the benefit of human protections. The bees actually dying out big time? Native bees. Unsurprisingly the commercially beneficial honey bee often directly competes with native bees, harming their populations, and those native bees (which are often solidary species) don’t get the benefit of human care. But most people aren’t thinking about the native bees when they want to help, because they don’t even realize that the bees really struggling are ones that buried 3 feet in dirt and not the cool honeycomb building ones. 

Wasps? Who have an actively harmful, negative stereotype where people hate them because their “big mean bully bugs”? do you think they’re getting researched? Funding for conservation? You think people are looking to donate to campaigns that focus on helping obscure wasp populations? Research for obscure flies? Tracking parasite populations? No. You can’t even make a positive comment on social media without getting a literal hoard of people telling you how much you need to know that they personally hate wasps and will kill on sight. The research done for these species that people hate so much? It’s usually done by a literal handful of people.  People who like bugs and wasps aren’t asking you to be their best friend and invite them over for tea. We’re asking that people remove this public, widespread unfounded hatred for an entire group of species, a species group so diverse some people think it might actually outnumber beetles, so that people who do care about them can.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

This is all super true. As a side note, though, which I am tacking on for similar reasons, when the OP is talking about honeybees vs “native bees” that is NOT TRUE EVERYWHERE. Honeybees are native to an enormous chunk of the world including Europe, Asia and Africa, and are highly vulnerable to outright endangered in those areas even with the benefit of human intervention.

Not a criticism of OP, but that needs adding because unfortunately people really love to run off with incorrectly applied facts (or sometimes outright bullshit) and this is a critical field to the future of the planet.

Human: Deal.

Fey: Very well. When you return home tonight, your mother will be in pristine health again. It will be like she never fell ill at all. Even the memory of her suffering will fade…

Human: Thank you so much. She means everything to me.

Fey: I know, I know. Let’s hope the price wasn’t too much for you after all… Only time will tell.

Human: So, when do we start?

Fey: …If I may ask you to elaborate?

Human: You said you wanted my firstborn.

Fey: Yes? And you agreed?

Human: Yeah, so, when do we start?

Fey:

Fey, blushing: Ah.
