  • I have basic Adblockers just so I don’t have to deal with the clutter, but I’m not a bitch about ads. If a YouTube vid had ads I just hit the skip if I can, or sit through it. If an ad pops up while I’m scrolling through whatever news or media site, I just scroll past or click through and brush it off.

    These people who act like they’re being abused or tortured because they have to look at an ad or watch a few commercials make no sense to me. It reeks of entitlement.

    Just because the internet is filled with information doesn’t mean it’s free. It costs money to write articles and make videos. If we’re not paying them with cash then we’re paying them with a little time or consideration.

    As long as the ads aren’t obnoxiously loud or animated or otherwise irritating, they’re just part of the experience.

    But then I grew up pre-internet, when you had no choice but to sit through 10 minutes worth of commercials to enjoy 20 minutes worth of tv episodes.



  • I vote for whichever candidate will do the least harm and support the most progressive policies. Bipartisanship isn’t a thing in the US when both sides are of the same right-wing coin.

    Are you implying that, in the course of world history, no country has ever -while being attacked or invaded, asked another country (or specifically the US) for help with military defense? Ever? Even if there has never been a case of non-“manufactured” consent, then I would still support coming to the aid when/if it ever did happen.

    Honestly, it seems to me that you just want to argue with me about it. Why? I’ve just stated that I’m an American pacifist and so I don’t like being accused of murder, and you want to turn it into a thing. Seems silly.


  • I’m an American. I’m a pacifist.
    I’ve never murdered anyone. I’ve never even picked up a loaded gun.
    I stand against foreign interference, foreign regime changes, and military intervention unless specifically requested by a defending nation.
    I’m against the death penalty. I support common sense gun regulation. I vote for the political parties who will cause the least harm &/or death, globally.

    …and you still call me a murderer? For being born here? Fuck you, OP.
