Weird, link is working for me. Is it still down for you?

Tax dollars well spent. Give the invaders hell.

The Purple Guy from FNAF appears on B8, and the souls of 5 children randomly infect 5 pieces currently on the board. They want to kill Purple Guy.

If you’re interested in some of the set pieces, like the bitters on the right side of the board or the factory on the left side of the board, those are from an actual game, Factorio. If it even kind of looks like you might enjoy it, then I’m sorry. I’ve ruined your life temporarily.

To be fair, gherkin doesn’t exactly look like a paragon of health either.

@Mane25 Sure, here’s the Annual global land-ocean temperature index. And the Annual Ocean heat average tempatures. Really, just go to town. Any Annual averaged data category gives some cause for alarm. Sea levels, CO2 levels, Methane levels, etc.

The climate records that are being broken regionally are a direct consequence of the trends shown above. If you read the article @readbeanicecream was kind enough to share, then you would have read that. “Records go back to the late 19th century, and we can see that there has been a decade-on-decade increase in temperatures,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, keeper of the agency’s climate records."

So no, I don’t think this is sensationalist or misleading at all. You just need to dig past the headline a little bit. A headline that accurately reflects what scientists are saying is a direct consequence of the general trend that’s going to continue to get worse and break more records into the future.

While most of these are a good rule of thumb, I disagree with ‘Always Happy to Help.’ > ‘No Problem.’

‘I’m Always Happy to Help’ is a fine response, if you’re actually willing to make your time available for the recipient at the drop of a hat. Sometimes that’s called for, but I would only reserve it for a few very specific circumstances. I also don’t see an issue with saying ‘no problem’ most of the time. There are situations where something a little more formal is called for, but 90% of the time ‘no problem’ should work imho.

Thanks for cross-posting this @PigglyWiggly. I just included an update in my original Kbin post, which I’m sure you’re all already aware of by now. But just in case you weren’t; The mods have capitulated, and the sub is SFW again: https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/14t393z/ncd_admins_and_you_recent_developments_inside/

Spain, bottom of the ocean, wherever idc.

True, but you guys did Brexit.

From the persepctive of the host site, maybe. But for the advertisers, AdNauseam punishes them pretty badly. The idea is to destroy the relationship between the “click through rate” and “conversion rate” of offending sites/ads.

The linked article discusses the phenomena in more detail, but the bottom line is that advertisers want sales. If their ads don’t get sales on a certain platform, they will no longer advertise on said platform.

I’ve also attached a screenshot of the relevant part of the article.

That’s without even considering how this screws up the data that organizations like Google are trying to track. That data is worth something to them, and this obfuscates it.

Just to clarify, AdNauseam doesn’t click on every ad. Certainly not by default. I’ve noticed that while it does hide ads embedded in YouTube videos, it doesn’t seem to click them often. (Though, it does still click on image based ads on YouTube).

Additionally, by default AdNauseam does not click on ads that are “do not track” (DNT) compliant, an emerging standard set by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I’ll link to the GitHub FAQ post the devs made regarding why they, by default, don’t click DNT compliant ads.

It does yes. It also interferes with other privacy related extensions like privacy badger. I have disabled both Ublock Orgin and Privacy Badger in favor of AdNauseam and have been pleased. After using it for about a week, it says I’ve “clicked” on about $150 worth of ads.

The main thing to note is if you’re on a site, and you see ads, you can always flip AdNauseam into “strict” mode. In strict mode, it is less effective at clicking on ads, but better at making sure nothing pops up. There’s only one site that I’ve had to use strict mode on so far. Attached image is of my “ad vault” (the ads that have been clicked). I did hide the NSFW ads:

Mannnn… I really want to enjoy battlebits. Looks like it captures the old battlefield ‘feel’ really well. It’s just super unfortunate that they are switching to an anti-cheat service that requires kernel access. Even if it didn’t break compatibility with my system, which it will, on principle that’s just too much trust given regarding my computer imho.

Didn’t /r/Donald start out as satire?

/r/Piracy also celebrated the fact that reddit officially endorsed them.

Couldn’t have said it better than myself. o7

Also, Helldivers 2 has been announced. So not the worst time to get into the first gem! Though, split screen support has not been confirmed for the sequel, and it may not make an appearance since they’re making the jump to a 3rd person perspective. But it still looks good, and I am fanboying over it.
