What's something that's taken for granted that occasionally makes you think, wait wtf?
-
uBlock Origin ftw
-
Have you ever thrown a can at the bin and had it land in Qatar international?
-
Homelessness.
-
uBlock Origin just prevents the network requests from these tracking frameworks from completing. All the javascript tracking code I believe still executes, just doesn’t return.
If it were possible it would be great to prevent these javascript frameworks from being loaded at all by the browser. But I guess the website javascript code would break.
It would be interesting to replace the tracking frameworks with an empty stubbed out implementation that does nothing. Not for sure how feasible that would be.

I agree that metal is better than plastic, but it feels like they're trying to categorise water with soda as a commodity
-
The problem is that homelessness is, weirdly, more complicated than just giving people homes. It's also about mental health issues (many of which we don't yet have the ability to effectively treat), community, purpose, and a ton of other things.
It's almost like everyone would benefit from a support system or safety net put in place by some community funded entity that would have the capability of putting those systems in place.
-
May I see a source on this? I'd love to read more about it.
-
It's not really the metal that's bad, but the coating on the inside of the metal (in contact with your food/water), that raises concerns.
Glass is best, but food/water in glass containers are often considerably more expensive.
-
I was actually trying to do some research on this as well to verify my claim, but couldn’t find a definitive answer. I’m not for sure whether uBlock blocks complete JavaScript libraries from loading by default or if it is only blocks the HTTP request like PiHole.
I did find this interesting project by DuckDuckGo which provides empty implementations of the JavaScript libraries when adblockers break the site. This seems to imply that some adblockers do prevent the JavaScript library from loading at all.
-
You're right-I didn't want to make it look simple. I'm just constantly stunned how wealth is distributed, which is one of many reasons for homelessness. A fair distribution could finance housing and support systems.
-
You can't treat any existing mental health issues while people are living on the street developing new ones.
-
There are other problems for the homeless, but it makes treating those problems a lot easier when they have a home.
-
Fuck that read God I hate those types of bugs
-
I am aware; but when the options are an entirely plastic container (clear, and readily able to oxidise and leech microplastics when exposed to light over long periods of time) versus a lined metal can (which is at least opaque) - cans are remain the lesser of two evils.
-
I don't disagree at all. I wish we had more options.
More glass with compatibility with mason jar lids would be a win for everyone. You can recycle 5them if you want, reuse them easily, and they can remain in circulation for a very long time.
The only caveat with glass is that you have too many idiots breaking them on sidewalks, bike lanes, and parks.
-
I mean, if I had the power of Rolls-Royce turbine engines in my arms, I could probably do it

cannsbilism
I'm guessing cannibalism. But where are you shopping?
-
I have a thick rope of muscle in my mouth that I can control accurately enough to speak with, swallow with, and dig popcorn fragments out from between my teeth with.
Just one of nature's wacky solutions that applies to more than one problem. I should be grateful it doesn't have thorns on it.
-
putting leeches on people
We still do that. Leeches are surprisingly useful when treating certain blood clots. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
-
Glass is also quite heavy, increasing logistics costs for transport - but in an ideal world where everything runs off renewable energy sources and stupid people didn’t ruin things for the rest of us - glass would indeed be the ideal medium.
