Okay, fine, not enough to matter. Are you satisfied with that?

so use a VPN? if you're the sort of user using AdNauseam, and is concerned about tracking, you're probably also the sort of user who already uses a VPN.

  1. not in this way
  2. not enough to matter

the way it works is sending an HTTP request that registers as a "click" to the advertiser (thus costing them money), but then doesn't actually let the browser download any content and fetch the webpage, basically pi-holes the destination site and any attached tracking cookies. Combined with the fact that it does this to every ad, it would basically poison any click tracking.

edit: pedants

and before I get any more of you, this is just what I remember reading about adnauseam, do not take it as gospel, go look at AdNauseam's FAQ.

you know that article is dated September 28th 2023, right?

now, I'm not saying Israel doesnt have a history of acting like bastards, but that's just a wee bit before they started ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip.

who says I think Germany would be on our side?

at this rate, the US is looking more and more like it'll jump into bed with Russia than the rest of NATO.

I'd like to believe they'll kick the Nazis out of the bar before they reach the levers of true power, but I'm American and you see how well having that naive hope went for us.

Having said that, I imagine the Germans are at least slightly more cognizant of the risks involved than we are. Difference between "It can't happen here!" and "It has already happened here and it was bad."

for the first time, Germany possibly gets to be the "good guys" in a world war! Quite a turnaround.

Truthfully? They're not wrong to want it back.

There's (for now) a plaque at the base with a poem stating "give us your tired, give us your poor". Clearly not the attitude our government and a large portion of our population has, right now.

I can only hope we'll remember how immigration built this country before they simply remove the plaque.

"Real leftists oppose funding all imperialist wars"

Oh you mean like the one Russia started by invading Ukraine? Because that's why we were (and thankfully Europe still is) funding Ukraine, to oppose an imperialist attempting to assert control over a sovereign nation.

I'd call this take farcical, but a farce is supposed to be funny.
