  • My point wasn’t that single people can’t be bad, or do bad things, but ultimately to perform terrible acts at scale it requires buy-in from other people. Without support, whether it be through fear, coercion, or otherwise, it’s nothing more than intrusive thoughts.

    Hitler was a bad dude but it took a concerted effort by who knows how many people in order to make the sick stuff that happened a reality.

    All the names he listed were indeed bad dudes, but I feel saying Kissinger stands out because he had the support of the government while the others just killed millions by themselves is not a fair assessment of what transpired.












  • My buddy reported that he started getting blocked using uBlock starting today.

    I’ve never had any of the problems, but I have some caveats that may be helpful:

    1. I live in Korea
    2. I use brave browser with no uBlock as it’s unnecessary
    3. I also use NextDNS at the router level.

    #3 seems to be of no consequence as I tried using vanilla Chrome and ads played while randomly testing videos

    That leads me to believe #2 or #1 is preventing ads.

    I didn’t disable NextDNS since it failed at #3, and I haven’t tried VPNing into a U.S. endpoint out of laziness.

    Either #1, or #2 is preventing ads … I’m inclined to believe it is #2, Brave browser, that is successfully blocking ads; even without VPN, with NextDNS, I was still getting ads in vanilla Chrome.

    I think there is something in Brave browser that is currently overlooked.

    I hope it helps someone
