  • There are also (somewhat hidden) “hard modes” where the only indicator that you’re in a different mode is that the badge number next to the uBlock icon changes color.

    You can have it block all third party scripts by default for every website, or even go all out and basically use it like noscript. Pretty much breaks every individual website though but you can choose individually what to let through and save it based on domain (I believe) so you really only need to do it once.


  • The fact that Israel is evil doesn’t make Jews everywhere evil. That needs to be said.

    I know it needs to be said (because if you don’t, the conversation will get derailed), but does it really need to be said? I feel like this rule only applies in this situation.

    When else does this need to be said in order to not be considered a racist or terrorist?

    It should be self-evident, and it’s fucking frustrating that decades of equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism has worked this well.











  • Am I being tasked with creating a protocol for evaluating which symbols the government should display? Like what do you think you’re accomplishing with this line of questioning? It’s not my fucking job or expertise to come up with that criteria, there are much smarter people who could do that.

    I know you think you’ve made some powerful rebuttal here, but you really haven’t.

    There is no set of reasonable, ethical criteria that could possibly make displaying a rainbow flag offensive. It just doesn’t exist. If you’re upset by seeing a pride flag, then that’s 100% your problem.

    That’s like getting mad at seeing the California flag flying next to the US flag because you just hate that CA exists. Fucking dumb.


  • Perhaps each symbol could be evaluated individually based on what it is meant to represent? I don’t know why that’s such a difficult thing to imagine.

    I’ve seen those black “POW/MIA” flags next to US flags all of the time and I’ve never once seen a single ammosexual conservative freak complain about it, despite their cult of personality centering around someone who literally belittled prisoners of war for being caught.

    I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about that. I see the “pride” flag to be as offensive as the black POW/MIA flag.
