      I have been on the internet before the world wide web was invented, and I still do not use an ad blocker. Not because I don’t understand why people use them, but because I refuse to subscribe to the world that needs them. Kinda why I am on Lemmy, and why I donate a lot of money to keep it going.

      EDIT for the younguns: Old man yells at sky.

        I dunno man, being born before automobiles wouldn’t exempt you from looking both ways before you cross the street when you live in a world where cars are commonplace 🤷‍♀️

        I don’t wear a seatbelt because I don’t want to live in a world where people need them

          1. imagine being crazy enough to think seatbelt and ad blockers would be a good comparison

          2. yep, let people do what they want with their own safety, progressives are basically creating fascists.

          I will reply to this again, out of sheer obstinance. I’m not made of raw stupid. I have had defense in depth employed for 20 years, if someone had managed to penetrate past the outermost moat, then I would be concerned. That hasn’t happened yet. Until then, keep your opinions to yourself. you yahoo
