      Fucking up ads with an ad blocker?! Noooo! If you don’t like ads, then you should pay for the subscription to get rid of the ads!

      While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it’s not always an option to “just don’t look at it if you don’t like it”. I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.

        You can make a high powered slingshot for free. Silent. Use it at night.

        Also there’s a thing called a slingstaff. It’s pretty amazing. You want the 6’ long 2-handed version.

    B-but according to lots of people we’re denying the content creators their revenue if we don’t stare at their ads like pathetic little sheep. Won’t somebody think of the advertisers???

    I kinda agree with some of the sentiment here, but if you hate the city, is it necessary to live there? I think it’s usually even more expensive than outside the city so you cannot explain it with money.
