My solution to prevent these scams from at is an add blocker called “uBlock Origins”. On my phone I use “Revanced” and “Grayjay”. Poof no more scams. Like a subscribe for more tips and tricks.

You know what I purchased that whenever I first saw it like 2 months ago and I forgot about it because it needed a little more polish I’ll start using it again.

- Comment on EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year 11 months ago:
I mean all social media has hate speech of one kind of another and it’s almost all misinformation or part truths. Really depends on the agenda.

Him particularly being a narcissistic lier I wouldn’t doubt it but I believe that most politicians bend the truth or omit it.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 11 months ago:
I would say that most things in life are changeable. Being happy with yourself doesn’t mean you stop striving to be better. It means you accept yourself for your faults and all. Strive to be a better version of yourself every day no matter how small. Start small changes and build up.
I hear people say “You are perfect just the way you are” but that isn’t true. Perfection is a goal to never be achieved but is always sought after.
I do not speak to the aspects of our political landscape or the position of our society but the framing of our lives and how we can effect it.
In fact I found quite a bit more happiness and perspective when I seperated myself from political and societal issues.
I appreciate your candor in these talks.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 11 months ago:
I believe it is easier to see mentally ill people because I was depressed at one point and noticing the behaviors is easier. While I don’t subscribe to the “we are all mentally ill” frame of mind, I do believe that it is a good majority of humans.
I believe that chasing happiness is ultimately impossible. However, being happy with ones self and coming to terms with your reality and accepting what you can and cannot change is possible. Do not dwell on what you cannot change and change what you can.
I have noticed through my own actions and the action of others that we limit ourselves through self sabotage. If we sabotage ourselves and stop ourselves from actually failing then we already know the outcome and cannot be more discouraged than if we actually try. This is why I say accept failure and learn from it. “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life” -Jean-Luc Picard
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 11 months ago:
People glorify adulting as some kind of ultimate maturity for ones self. It is not that. Adulting is predicting what can and won’t be your life. Surviving better each day. While also keeping after yourself in a healthy manner.
We are always growing until we die. Adulting is accepting what can be and what can’t be and living with yourself.
Perceive reality as it is and accept the successes and failures along the way.
One day you will see people for what they are and are not. That day your awareness of the world will change.
I’ve noticed it has become easier to see liers as I’ve gotten older and mentally ill people.
- Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. 11 months ago:
Lol. My Papa died before I could ask him but my Mimi told me in her own words.
- Meet the women
- Get to know women through average life events or through personal effort
- Take your shot
- Profit
Don’t be afraid of failure. In each failing is a lesson.
I have been married 15 years and it wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t try a second time.
- Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. 11 months ago:
Back in the day someone’s father would teach their son’s how to court a woman. I had no real father figure growing up but I was lucky to have met my wife in highschool. I recently asked my grandmother how my grandfather courtes her and it was actually so simple.
Nowadays men and women have unrealistic expectations of each other and what relationship should be. Social media is also put a divide between us and how we communicate with each other from a very young age.
On top of this men have become afraid of failure when it comes to talking to women. This a long with social media saying you are a creep for taking a shot men have been crippled in their confidence.
I believe that social media should not be available to kids and young adults until adulthood. I believe that social media prevents people from socializing properly. Face to face communication with both sexy is crucial for humans.

You a wonderful. Thank you for this.
- Comment on In a U.S. First, a Commercial Plant Starts Pulling Carbon From the Air 11 months ago:
Unfortunately I can’t read the article. What do they do with the carbon once it’s collected? How are these powered? How much power does the collector use compared to how much it collects? If stored, where and how?

- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
I can understand your point of view. I was grandfathered in at $16 a month for the family plan for years since I was around from the beginning. Then I got an email telling me it’s going up to $22 a month. I used premium for music and ad free only. I don’t care about movies or anything else. I would still happily be paying for premium today at the understandable $16 dollars but they got greedy so now I use Revanced and pay nothing. I am also trying out Grayjay since it combines a lot of platforms.
- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
I’ve been using Windows 11 for a while now and honestly I don’t understand the hate. Who needs personalized functionality? Who needs to be able to move their bar from screen to screen? I do. I’m moving to Linux.
- Comment on Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. 1 year ago:
I think the COVID treatments probably create more problems health wise than the disease. At least for younger healthier individuals. After getting the first two immunizations my wife developed pots which she didn’t have before.

- Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it 1 year ago:
You’re welcome. I hope it serves you well. If you run into an issue where it plays only 30 seconds of video that means it needs to be updated.
- Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it 1 year ago:
I used to be grandfathered in to premium for years and I happily payed it because it was at a price point I thought the service was worth. Then they email me saying they will raise the price from $17 to $22. Now I use revanced and get it free on my phone. I would have happily been paying the original price but they decided to be greedy.
