You don't really need to look too hard, AdBlock plus still has a pretty decent blocker app-plugin on android (and I guess iOS as well?) where you don't really need to upgrade to premium iirc

I run an UBlock in Firefox, but that doesn't do poo poo for my phone. I know there are ways to fix that, but I've been too lazy to do any research. I've been served an ad for a strip club in downtown Minneapolis a couple of times and felt like I got herpes just from watching it.

It’s pretty simple. You have to mess with some of your network settings which can look daunting if you’re not familiar with it, but this guide tells you exactly what to do. There’s also a subreddit r/pihole if you want to get some real nerds to troubleshoot anything for you.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

from that tweet

quote:


The U.S. Air Force calls very hot days “black flag days” and limits exposure of troops stationed at al-Udeid Air Base. Personnel conducting patrols or aircraft maintenance work for 20 minutes, then rest for 40 minutes and drink two bottles of water an hour. People doing heavy work in the fire department or aircraft repair may work for only 10 minutes at a time, followed by 50 minutes of rest, according to a spokesman for the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing.

i used to call the black flag alert by 9am every day i was at Gabe. The workload was never changed lol.

It never is. They say they do these things and have these rules but you don't stop fixing an aircraft or loading or whatever you're doing to rest for 50 minutes. But saying it's a thing makes the public think the military cares for the troops.

That's not a loving deal, that's just letting Turkey do whatever they want. I don't think the Kurds or Syrian Army are going to hold up their end of this "bargain".

What the gently caress, how can you call that any form of negotiated ceasefire when it's a full concession to Turkish objectives

You've literally just rubber stamped everything they want, sold out former allies *again* in exchange for zero visible benefit. What a great example of well thought out foreign policy and power projection

It's literally just so Fox and the usual suspects can say "Trump negotiated a ceasefire to save the Kurds look how much he cares" and to give congressional republicans some cover to stop criticizing him.

We’re in a paradox grand strategy game. Your opponent accepting “status quo” but not “surrender” when you’re using a conquest CB and are occupying all your claims so there is no difference between the two is a “thing” across all of their games
