Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don’t recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there’s a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

I don’t buy any subscriptions. I wouldn’t have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

But don’t let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.

I do hope you are wrong on that 😅

Somehow, I find it peculiar, that in one of the pictures she gets help!

Would it be a good idea to make a community moderation meeting where every mod must be present and agreeing on common rules of moderation? (I don’t know if they already do this - I don’t know anything about moderating this place)

I agree. I just watched the movie.

I approve men as much as women, and ladies should have the same chances at the world. I knew I liked the movie as soon as I saw the trailer, though I don’t understand many of the controversial topics presented by it (I’m too simple 😂). I find it interesting that someone gets offended by the movie (constructive criticism is important, folks!).

I’m no perfect as a man and so ain’t the closest lady to me neither.

I approve - though I’m wondering that does the pink box color fit/do justice to the theme 🤔

I’ve watched the Imitation game. Cool movie!

It wasn’t my point or intention to delve deeper into this matter. The Pigpen Cypher has been enough for me and I use it casually for fun. I’m no professional at any rate to this topic and I don’t look into studying encryption 🙂

Well, if that’s the case and this stuff is too old, I’m happy to have provided one puzzle of this kind to that community and I can leave it at that 😄

How often should I post these?

Made me think about the old silent movies!

I’ll try my luck over General Programming [email protected] 😊

I bet I could get addicted simply to following interesting discussions without imagery.

Can I see most posts being from the communities I have subscribed at while still introducing stuff from communities I haven’t signed up for?

Seeing new stuff usually is good in life =)

I have done this same thing. My hearing is a bit hypersensitive and these kinds of headphones have helped me in many different, loud situations!

Since I enjoy the idea of providing goodness for the masses regardless who and what they are, I approve taxes.

Well, as long as the tax money actually goes to make the country better for its people to live in.
