More like most people don't have the patience to learn the difference between uBlock and UBlock Origin. Also, a lot of people just install Ad Block because they you tell them to install a ad blocker, they just install the one called AdBlock.
Not really making fun of it, just genuinely curious. Are people still installing Adblock Plus? It has had an Acceptable Ads Committee for over a decade now. What were people using if not that?
I stopped using that when it stopped working. Is there a working version? I thought they got kiked off the app store for "interfering with internet data" or something.
You can't be genuinely curious by asking a question answered in the source.
Haha look at these people who doesn't know everything in the world from birth!
Tell me you misunderstood the comic without telling me.
Tell me you don't understand sarcasm by telling me in writing.
If you want me to understand your sarcasm, maybe put a modicum of effort into communicating it :)
No, I prefer to communicate with people able to understand sarcasm in light of the context. The best I can offer is for you to block me to avoid being exposed to my ultra-high level, military grade sarcasm.
You prefer to communicate with people who assume you're being sarcastic? That's kinda weird. I prefer to communicate with people who take my words at face value. You're not worth blocking.
No, I prefer to communicate with people able to detect when I am sarcastic. That's why I wrote "Understand sarcasm", something you seemingly don't.
That's not nice. I have no issue blocking not-nice people so we won't communicate again. I wish you a life as pleasant as you.
Telling that you think being blocked is a good thing. You're not harassing me, you're not trying to dox me, you're just being annoying and bad at sarcasm. Hence, you're not worth blocking. But you're certainly also not worth talking to.
