    Default Google is "Experimenting" with ads...

    So, if you see ads in some places you don't normally see them, blame them... I didn't do it. Also tell me about it if it is particularly annoying or something like that.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    So they are making this site more annoying when I get told that they only contribute a few hundred dollars a year to JPP?

    Surely it is time for Google to go.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Same here. In fact, it's a surprise to me when I boot up on my iPad and see all the ads pop up. Usually I'm on my chromebook.

    google is inserting whole page ads thusly:

    let's say I click from the "who quoted me" page to go to that new post, first I will go to a full page ad that I have to x out of, and then I will go to the new post.

    can't you just tell google to go suck 8 cocks?
