If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would
“Please oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you don’t you’re evil!”
Freeloader Comin’ through!
We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).
And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.
Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.
Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker.
Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:
Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature
Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu
And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”
Check out this book on Dutch/Belgian VHS tapes. It is packed with high res scans of awesome VHS covers. I did the illustration for this book. This limited edition is now for sale (only 40 left). You can order it here:
Hey ya’ll, I’m Jackal. I’m a black lesbian and long time member of the Vulture Culture. I’ve been processing animals, writing guides, and sharing my love for the community for nearly 10 years! I’m completely self-educated, but wish to break into the field of taxidermy at the professional level.
I want to start my taxidermy courses near the end of this year (August/September). This is a huge step because taking these classes will allow me to get formal training, gather information how to start my business, get my taxidermist licenses, and start making and selling mounts.
I’m starting off with a 7 day small mammals course and intend to take more classes if I’m able. I’ll have to stay out of town for the duration of the class, board my dog Lobo for the time I’m away, and pay for the class itself + class materials/food/gas for that week. After crunching the numbers, I’ll need about $3000 to cover everything.
I’ll be working sales/commissions through the year to help save up for the costs, but if you are able to donate ANY help is greatly appreciated! My Kofi and Paypal links are below:
I would not have made it this far without all the amazing people I’ve met through the Vulture Culture community so thank you all so much for the kindness and love you’ve shown me over the years. I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life and officially get Jackal & Hide licensed as one of the very few black-owned and operated taxidermy business.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
