Did some testing, and from what I can tell, an ad/script blocker removes the actual video ad (and afaik all other ads), but leaves a blank space below recommended video like Gordon said. Confirmed on Firefox, Chrome and Edge using uBlock Origin (Lite for Chrome). Mobile is out of luck tho, unless you one of those adblocker browers to browse, but I don't know if those are any good.

I think I don't get any ads when logged in, even without blockers, is because, even tho Escapist+ is defunct, I still have that status.

How the fuck are Ray-ban meta sunglasses somehow LESS expensive than some of their normal sunglasses that don't have a fucking computer in them?!

The Meta sunglasses cost $300 and Ray-Ban sells sunglasses $500+ for just glasses. Insanity.

It is true that Linux distros have come a long way since the late 90s and early 2000s in terms of usability. However they all have their quirks, some of which are truly the dumbest shit on Earth. Like OpenSuse Tumbleweed that I'm trialling on my laptop for some ass-about-face reason won't just recognise there's a second SSD in the laptop, I have to mount the fucker every time. And it chucks a spack when I try and format that SSD to something non-ntfs because somehow, despite all the shit thrown at Windows, using their command line instructions for formatting disks are infinitely simpler than the GUI option OpenSuse is giving me.

I fucking swear, Linux is its own worst enemy.

Linux is for when you're tired of actually using your computer and just want to tinker with it all day.
I am genuinely a gnat’s dick away from using a Windows 10 boot drive purely to get into the Windows CLI so I can use DISKPART to just nuke the drive back an unformated volume.

Like that has to be some kind of weird fucking irony right? Linux is giving me guff so I need Microsoft to help me out?
