At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I’m confident that I’m blocking more bots than nots.

Third one of these comics I’ve seen in a short time. Are they supposed to be anti-jokes? None of them seem to have any sort of punchline…

Explore, gather, craft, and build

Pass. Such a tired genre at this point.

Wear pants.

You know what’s awesome about humor? Out of all the positive emotions, it’s the only one that is never fully eaten by depression. I think that’s kind of amazing about the human mind, that even in the deepest darkest pit, there is always some laughter to be found.

Why tf would you put that much work into it? Just file a charge back and move on with your life.

I really don’t have the time, or the interest, to explain it to you; but all of the things you linked are either hyperbole, misinformation, or straight up fabrications; a very small amount of digging will show you why. But hey, I don’t work for Brave or care if anyone uses it or not. At the end of the day, use whatever browser you’re comfortable with.

Yes. That is in fact what I’m saying. Brave has built in blockers for ads, trackers, and cookies. It has a built-in VPN. It has a built-in Tor browser. It’s default search engine is DDG instead of Google. Considering Firefox defaults to Google for searches, you’re likely giving more data to Google through Firefox than you would using Brave.

Firefox is also a web browser.

Oh sorry, I thought we were making meaningless comparisons.

Nation. Sin.

Oooh, I got you OP. If you liked the dense micro-maps of Into the Breach, check out Bad North. Defend small islands from waves of invaders with limited troops. Not an overly long game, but very satisfying for what it is.

Ubisoft wishes they could make a game that good.

I love reposts, it lets me know who I can block for posting tired old shit because they’re not creative enough to contribute anything on their own, but would still like the validation and approval as if they did.

You are using this meme wrong. It’s not for opposing views.

You’re going to hate this response, but if you’re already paying to avoid ads, you could get YouTube premium. I got grandfathered into it from Google Music and honestly I feel it’s absolutely worth it. It’s about the same cost as Spotify and comes with YouTube Music that works just as well. So I look at it like paying for Spotify with the added bonus of no ads on YouTube and being able to play videos in the background. I also tend to watch a ton of YouTube videos and often use them to fall asleep to.

At this point, it’s the only subscription service I still pay for. I’ve ditched all the others, but that one has stayed. Anytime I see someone watching YouTube without it, or without a good quality ad blocker, I’m horrified. So. Many. Ads. I don’t get how anyone can watch anything like that.

But I get it; most people would rather drag their ass through a mile of broken glass than pay YouTube a dime, and I totally respect that. Just sharing my experience.

One of the unlabeled buttons on the side of the screen should mute it. Whenever I find it, I’ll take a pen or sharpie and mark which one is the mute button for future people who don’t want to be subjected to that shit.

Comment section full of idiots thinking this is real.

I always liked the Dresden Files take on technology and magic. It’s not that they can’t exist in the same universe, it’s that magic causes absolute haywire with circuitry. So you can use technology, or you can use magic, but not both.
