  Oh to be fair, why waste time with the ICC when St. Lambert’s Church showed us what we can do with Trump.

  All so Trump can wag his shriveled mushroom dick around. May he hang in the Hague forever.

  There’s a middle ground between not starting imperialistic wars and isolationism. The isolationist period of the US was just as bad.

  The only thing I got from my recent COVID booster was chills, aches, and soreness for two days and I do it again in a heartbeat.

  Because about 90% of legislators are rich and went to private religious schools.

  Someone should make an iTunes like interface for F-Droid that runs on your computer and syncs when plugged in to your phone.

  That’s why my phone looks like this and will look like this for years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, here’s the thing. I don’t remember many dreams from a week ago but to this date I still remember waking up as a kid in the early 90’s and looking down the stairs and seeing two people in period clothes standing at the bottom of the stairs. We lived in a house from the 1800s so it checked out; and given that I genuinely felt a force when I tried to close the basement door, I believe they were basically standing guard between the cellar door and me protecting me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It has basic app folders; I just meant some of the controls that you can do in Nova like setting folders to specific tabs, showing apps in folders in main draw, etc.

  (I’m on Obtainium Lawnchair Nightly 1/22/26)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly why the first thing I did was disable updates for Nova, just in case.

  I have been using Lawnchair Nightly as my default home screen though; there are a couple of things that aren’t carried over from Nova (mainly folder and tabs in app drawer) but for the most part it’s pretty comparable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what type of incident; if it’s something like noise in the hall or smoking, my apartment management handles it and lets people know (assuming it’s warning territory).

  I’d imagine for anything else, it’s a matter of not wanting to endanger people through escalation of non authority figures. I think you would have to have just cause to evict people, so having an official investigation would be imperitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's long unskippable ads may have finally met their match⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).

  Vivaldi also supports MV2 uBlock Origin for now; it will say it’s not supported but Vivaldi is fighting the removal of MV2).

  I’ve had a good mix of filters and haven’t gotten the adblock warning for Youtube (knock on wood). It’s been a while since configuring but I think enabling Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests and I’m an advanced user will help out.

  I have all the uBlock Filters, EasyList, AdGuard, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, Phishing URL Blocklist
