Who knew that being a publicly facing cunt makes people not want to buy your product. Shocking discovery.

These people literally live in reaffirming social bubbles they have created. On and offline both. They don't see that they are overplaying their hand.

This article should bring you joy.

Ublock works just fine on the Atlantic.

Sure, but not everyone is using Ublock? One could argue that they should be, but what's wrong with offering an alternative?

I never said there was anything wrong. I was letting them know ublock works just fine on the Atlantic. Imagine that, the words I wrote were what I meant. You people are so fucking weird reading so much into the simplest sentence.

Not me me on Firefox (Windows). Something I'm missing?

So, I'm using IronFox on Android with uBlock Origin on medium mode. Not an ad or other problem to be seen on that site. On Windows I use LibreWolf with the same uBlock setup.

These are aggressive setups that can break some sites, but after a while of tweaking it carefully you don't notice it's there anymore.

oh yea too many adblocking or cookie blocking can break the site. so i just restrict some adblockers .

a cultivated image of Musk as a Thomas Edison or Tony Stark type

LMAO! See Tony Stark blow Musk off like a loser in Iron Man II:

I'd be humiliated were I him. His head's so far up his ass he likely sees that cameo as a plus.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

thats why hes been called phoney stark, for a while his profile has him wearing the ironman outfit.
