If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would
“Please oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you don’t you’re evil!”
Freeloader Comin’ through!
We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).
And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.
Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.
Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker.
Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:
Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature
Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu
And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”
And then just refreshed the page

oml these used to annoy me sm i’m glad someone finally has a way to bypass it
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model
“justice grandpa of fists”
It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited
Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.
we need him more than ever…
The hero we needed but didn’t deserve
you’re telling me that you didn’t have a greek mythology phase? what are you, straight?
nope 😎
Old, boring places to get your vampire hunters from:
- The Police
- The Church (which one? take your pick)
- The Army
- The Secret Service
New, fresh places to get your vampire hunters from:
- Hospitals. Only so many emergency blood transfusions you can give people before some of the doctors start catching on and get pissed off
- Blood banks. Only so many blood bags can go missing before some of the staff starts catching on and gets pissed off
- The tax inspection agency. Either you’re supposed to be dead but still paying taxes or you’re still around and not paying taxes. Either way they will find you. Also: death and taxes~
As a doctor, I want this so much. A doctor, a nurse, a phlebotomist, and a tax collector team up to fight vampires.
This needs to be a NaNoWriMo
ppl w adhd and autism reblog and add what texture is so awful it haunts your dreams its okay if its incredibly specific ill go first: scratching my nails on a car
Its so specific I can’t even name it. Fluffy pajama pant/walmart throw fabric but it can be hidden in leggings and shirts and jackets. Sometimes ill wear a new shirt and be like why is everything even worse today and then get home and immediately subconsciously take off my shirt and be like o thats why! I have trust issues because of this fabric.
TOUCHING. CARD. BOARD. It pains my soul to even have to handle it. Touching it is like– I don’t even know how to describe it, but it makes me feel like my hands are turtles that want to retreat infinitely into their shells.
“You don’t need to plant a tree to regenerate a forest,” Fleischman tells The Verge. Forests can heal on their own if they’re allowed to, he says, and these forests end up being more resilient and more helpful in the climate fight than newly planted plots of trees. He argues that the best way to ensure there are enough trees standing to trap the carbon dioxide heating up the planet is to secure the political rights of people who depend on forests — primarily indigenous peoples whose lands are frequently encroached upon by industry and governments.
(Also trees aren’t the answer to everything - for example, much of North America is predisposed to being ancient grassland and prairie: restoration of native ecosystems can begin with humans, incorporate humans and grow with humans, following indigenous leadership and the native tendencies of the natural biome - and not necessarily terraforming the world into a mossy Tolkienesque English woodland. The healed prairie will not become an “unspoiled” European forest, but a living prairie in a thoughtful relationship with people. Healing is not synonymous with forests, it is not synonymous with emptiness. The mental picture of the green future should be the restoration of ecosystems, and ecosystems are diverse, and they include people.
This is a passionate, somewhat niche sentiment of mine, and you’ll be familiar with it if you have heard my rants about the Grass Fandom.
This is actually touched on in the OP article, when it is mentioned that some of the proposed trees would have to be placed on Savannah and grasslands.
Savannahs and grasslands are actually decent carbon sinks, since they grow quickly and have deep roots that store carbon in the dirt. And they are also vital and important in their own right, as living ecosystems. So landscaping them into artificial forests to absorb our emissions will not be a Healed Landscape. It will be a terraformed landscape.
Then you need to think about what an ecosystem is: plants, animals, geology, human culture. You need to think about who OWNS that land, if land can be owned. And the people and animals who depend on savannahs to live have every right to say, “destroying MY home ecosystem (with trees) to offset YOUR corporate pollution is not fair. It isn’t for the good of the planet; it’s for the convenience of YOU, because you equate planting trees with easy absolution, instead of the more difficult work of reparation and restoration” and that is a LOT for an antelope to say! It’s putting a lot of unreasonable pressure on antelopes!
To put it another way, the best way to restore ecosystems is to learn from people who know their local ecosystems very well, and to enable the use of this knowledge to heal the ecosystem. Trees are great, but they aren’t the default landscape. And we should move our mental images of “the future healed world” AWAY from the mossy European elvish forest, and TOWARDS restored biomes with their diversity of plants and geology.)
It matters what the trees are, too! In Aotearoa New Zealand the main drive to plant trees to sequester carbon is to plant Pinus radiata, a fast-growing non-native that makes up most of our forestry industry. But this does nothing to restore ecosystems and biodiversity - it’s purely because there’s a known market for the wood and it’s easy to measure how much carbon is stored under the terms of the Kyoto Protocol, and also because there’s an industry already set up to produce seedlings quickly. We need new ways to figure out how much carbon is stored by ecosystem-appropriate trees (and whole ecosystems!) to encourage the planting of native trees and the restoration of biodiversity.

4h not bad
Hera: opinion on feminism
I like femenism a lot but I feel like some femenists use it as an excuse to hurt others and I dislike how exclusionary it can get for certain groups. Like we’re for equal rights but why not trans/black/ect…
Hades: do you believe in life after death?
I do believe in a life after death (i’m catholic so i believe in heaven and hell)
Hestia: describe your ideal house
My ideal house is a victorian type home with rococo furniture and fucking forest for a back yard.
Hephaestus: do you think disability can ruin a relationship?
I think inabiltiy to accept and acknowledge your partner’s disability can ruin a relationship
I also think that having a hero complex because of your partner’s disability and loving them can ruin a relationship
Basically. If you can’t handle a disability whether physical or mental in your partner. Don’t date them. You aren’t worth their time and you aren’t doing the world some favor by loving them.
This needs more notes.
