When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they’re surfing on their browsers. I’ve just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We’ve heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they’re surfing without extensions. Whether it’d be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I’ve long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would’ve long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

    That the covid pandemic is still going full tilt and still demands a very aggressive worldwide response.

    Everybody (over the age of 4–they were born in 2020!) knows it, they just deny it like crazy because they don’t have the balls to deal with how unpleasant it is.

    Which makes it infinitely more unpleasant because we aren’t lifting the weight together. But anybody still denying the pandemic is consciously deciding to do it, and an explanation isn’t going to make them un-decide, because it’s not a lack of knowledge.

      Is it still full tilt?

      Looking at CDC graphs of excess deaths, it appears we’re back at baseline. That is, assuming I’m reading this correctly which is very much not a sure thing.

      Everyone all denial about diseases and serious illnesses until they get it. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, some of those who did get COVID and denied about it, still downplayed it like it was just a simple cold. Until you know, some of them actually died because of how much they didn’t anticipate the probability of getting it.
