The web browser and the website are two different piecee of software. Running a web browser doesnt entitle you to access a web server.

You are asking the web server for the page and its giving it to you with ads. If you then decide you dont want the ads the webserver has every right to not serve you the page.

It would be different if it was a local application. Web servers have a material cost for processing a request it costs money to serve you that page. Its completely fair for you to decide that your browser isnt going to display ads but its also just as fair for the website to turn around and reject your request or choose to serve you something else.

Thats fair if you also hold the stance that they can block you if you aren’t paying to use the service. But i doubt you do.

Changes in air pressure(I think). Its like everything goes quiet theres ringing it feels very weird. I always ask to see if anyone else notices.

You how you get up on a winter morning after the rain and everything sounds different and the air is crisp. Yeah sometimes I can feel that a sudden shift and its very jarring like ive been stunned for a few seconds.

Seems weird to be called a tankie for any of those reasons. Especially condemning the genocide.

Are you a tankie because you are to the left of Joe biden or because you idealise the soviet union and the ccp?

stop calling me racist and engage with me!

Same energy. If you’re getting called a tankie maybe stop simping for authoritarian regimes.
