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.

    Voting third party is a protest vote against the regime.

    It seem like yall have hard time understanding what a proper opposition is.

        Also what I learned from Jill Stein is that 3rd parties never try local elections in states, cities. They seem to only pop up in national elections to steal votes and make no impact

          And when they inevitably fail, that is only fuel for the fire for third-party denialists who’ll go “SEE?! THIRD PARTEH WILL NEVER WORK!”. Then they’ll go back to voting two parties who actively fuck everyone over, it’s just one party fucks over a little less than the other.

        The impact he is discussing assumes that person voting 3p would automatically voting for his team. That’s statistically speak at best half right.

          No, its not like that at all.

          It doesn’t matter who Meh and Oh no are for that voter. The results are the same.

          If you have a Meh candidate, and Oh No candidate, and a Please Something Else candidate, and you vote for something else, its now easier for Oh No to get elected, because Meh has fewer votes.

            I am no emotionally invested in either regime whore.

            My position is to deny both engagement.

              And I’m sure the Germans who “never supported the Nazi’s” were proud of their acts of abstinence after the fact.

              Its a terrible system with FPTP for sure, but doing anything that makes it easier for really bad guys to get in power is enablement, full stop.

              Will the really bad guys care about a protest vote? No, they’ll thank you.

              Will the not so bad guys care about the protest vote if they get elected? Not really, they got elected while ignoring the voice of the people, so why change?

              To fix the system you need to get the least worst option elected, and then get out and protest, and cause as much pain for the elected officials as possible to get anything changed. Means protesting at a level that is significantly impacting the economy.

              Don’t fuck around with a ‘protest vote’ that’s going to do as much nothing as electing the Meh option.
