the ads here all drive my bonkers, especially when they had the ones for the horror film way back. it was something popping out at me scaring the shit out of me and just not fair to do to an anxiety suffering, freaked the hell out, medicated person. Nothing like food for intrusive thoughts, inconsiderate fuckheads.

I do understand ds need to advertise and keep the site generating income, but at what expense? harming the very people the site was built to help... is one, i as owner of the site wouldnt compromise on. I am sure they have reviewed the hate mail due to this intrusion on our happy place. and it has yet to change. urg.

*stepping off soap box.

If you have Firefox you can download the ad blocker. That then works on all sites you visit.

I did a step by step set of instructions because it's not that obvious - unfortunately search seems to be down so I can't even find my own posts..I'll try again later because I remember I posted the answer in another community so it would be easy to find

just go to the pharmacy, doorknob, and click on the ham sandwich.

It's quite possibly more attractive than the person you're chatting with, anyway.

(kidding!!) :P

...yeah, ad blocker helps.

Go to

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

search for "ad block". I use "ad block plus".

It may ask you about adding a list. That is basically a subscription to an updated list of ads and ad providers/ technologies. There is one called something like "general" or usual or standard - pick that one.

It's all free. Do it once and you don't need to do anything more.

The final stakes in the Google Transcontinental Railroad are in place and soon this wild west we call The Internet shall be tamed and any true freedom without the scourge of gratuitous marketing shall be denigrated and quarantined to the back alleys of torrent sites and other undeveloped means of keeping out of sight from the sensationalism-inspired powers that be.

I also find the ads annoying and they frequently get in the way of what I am trying to type

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
