#ad-blocking

[anarchopuppy]

Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit

To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date

Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice

I like to think griefer and the player are those friends who are smart by themselves but become dumber than a box of bricks when hanging out together.

Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.

As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.

If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.

No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.

As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.

If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.

I don't really play forsaken (it's really just not my type of game) but I feel like we need 1x to just comment on the absurd amount of mafio skins

ALSO HOW DID MAFIA END UP HERE

(Factory hell au 1x1x1x1 =])

There are quite a lot of survivers wearing suits.

Also the mafia's here because of Dream game.

(ignore how only one of these skins is a Mafia skin)

If you put chewing/eating sounds in an ad that can't be skipped I think everyone with misophonia should be legally allowed to kill you

also i'm upset bc so much stuff in season 2 of arcane would be so good removed from CONTEXT but the context really just ruins it for me. first time right-before-the-end-of-the-world fucking in a jail cell would actually be kinda badass if it wasn't the cell that vi's suicidal sister had just been rotting in for a week (& if the severe problems they had weren't left completely unaddressed). "i am the dirt under your nails" would actually be devastatingly romantic if the character arcs and class & political implications weren't left so uncomfortably unresolved. "you wanted to cure what you thought were weaknesses, but you were never broken, there is beauty in imperfections" would be beautiful if the context wasn't that viktor wanted to NOT FUCKING DIE OF CANCER
