  • I think I marathoned the one you’re talking about for a couple months just to have something in the background while I worked (they’re relatively young and from Texas).

    While he usually didn’t go as far to say that eating out was preventing people from buying homes, he always loved to talk about how everyone can save money even if it means 0 treats for years at a time. As if that isn’t completely unrealistic. Oh but sure, let’s put $100 in the budget for once a month therapy, otherwise the commenters will get mad - what do you mean that’s not enough to help you cope with 50-60 hours of work??? And then when someone does come to him already scrapping at the bottom and budgeting to the max (for example, he had a single guardian on there that had to adopt younger family members due to a dysfunctional sister) he just says sorry and then gives them extremely unhelpful advice like get a third job (he ALWAYS tells people to get side gigs and second jobs and this lady already had two jobs, eventually what got me to stop watching ugh) or to look up local resources like food banks for help (she already was).

    I only watched as long as I did because he had wealthy shithead libertarians and toxic masculinity guys that would buy 60k trucks and teslas. Assholes that usually made more than enough money but always had mommy and/or employees do all the work for them so they never ended up learning any of the basics themselves. But whenever someone making $50k or less a year comes on… yikes.



  • Hey, you. If you’re disgusted by this but still eating animal products this free documentary might help you make the final push.

    Me personally, I’m autistic with a binge eating disorder and I used to think I could never become vegetarian, much less vegan. Pretty much all my favorite cope foods used to have meat in them and some of them were just meat. This spring marks my 3 year vegan anniversary in large part because I watched Dominion and confronted the truth with genuine curiosity. I’m not going to lie to you and say it’ll be easy. It’s a big life change. Enough of a change that people will treat you differently once they know, for better and for worse. But it is easier than it used to be even just a couple years ago and as more people become vegan there are more resources available. I would personally be willing to help you if you need any advice, and I’m sure plenty of other vegans on here would answer questions as well.

    (A general abuse/mass death NSFL CW for Dominion, you will not be able to unsee the footage or watch the behind the scenes footage of actors covered in fake gore making jokes like you would with a scary movie. It’s all real.)








  • That’s interesting, I’ve done something similar to news sites that block you from viewing them and scrolling down.

    I used to take one of my adblockers and select individual elements to block in hopes I could read the article normally. It rarely worked and typically I still wouldn’t be able to scroll. Did you happen to do something similar with youtube a couple of weeks ago when they started getting more aggressive and adblockers didn’t have their filters updated yet? If so maybe reinstalling your adblocker will help, but tbh I’m not amazing with technical stuff like this.


  • Thank you for posting this, the comments made me want to try and get the ad blockers to work again instead of copying and pasting into a private browser. I’ve been stuck doing that for several weeks now and it’s very tedious.

    And you know what? I got it to work, at least for now!

    Here’s what my issue was: I was using too many adblockers at once. So I turned off everything but Ublocker and Sponserblock, and cleared Ublocker’s cache before updating it as another user recommended. It looks like it’s back to normal now! And yes, I’m using Firefox.

    Hopefully that helps someone with similar issues.
