  • Ads nowadays are little more than psychological assault and it can't be healthy to be exposed to it regularly. My Home Ec teacher back in the day had a whole unit about the different manipulations present in advertisements and it was really enlightening and upsetting. Modern advertising should be banned or severely regulated.

  • No, it's not a VPN. Your traffic does not go through it. All using it does is change which server that your device asks for IP addresses for the websites you visit. When your device asks for the IP for an ad, Adguard gives you one that points back to your device and prevents the ad from being loaded. Otherwise it acts like any other DNS-Over-HTTPS server.

  • It's like every time there's a war everybody forgets how fucking long they take. WW2 took six years. The Vietnam War took almost 20 years, same with the Afghanistan War. Anybody expecting anything solid within the next couple years is delusional. Ukraine is in it for the long haul.

  • Arthritis fucking sucks. My family is a cluster of autoimmune issues and the most common one seems to be an early-onset form of rheumatoid arthritis and it's already fucking awful just in my mid-20s.

  • You have to keep in mind that the Russian government holds workers hostage. The Kremlin literally requires foreign companies to have an office with workers located in Russia just so that the workers can be threatened in order to pressure the company. And most companies care enough about their image to try and prevent headlines like "[Company] allowed workers in Russia to be murdered".
