    What is up with the amount of ads on this site?

    I understand why ads exist. When the ads become so intrusive that it makes the site next to impossible to use, what's the point?

    What is up with the amount of ads on this site?

    At home I use an ad blocker, but I'm out and about today trying to use this forum from my phone. The site is all but unusable due to the amount of ads popping up. Is this really the busy web hosting we can afford? I literally almost gave up finishing this post and I had to type most of the...

    My counselor says that I have ADHD, not autism.

    Nothing about my life, especially my childhood, makes sense if I don't have Asperger's. I'm trying to remain open minded and unbiased but at the same time I don't want to go back to just not knowing why I am the way I am. My counselor is pretty old school so maybe he still thinks that ASD and...

    My counselor says that I have ADHD, not autism.

    I feel like autism(specifically Asperger's) makes a lot more sense for my past and present symptoms. I'm going to try to see if I can get tested, but in the meantime what are some good resources/ online tests that I could use to rule out autism? The information I found about ADHD suggests that...

    I see lots of empty spots where ads would normally go, but no actual ads and nothing trying to pop up or load.

    Losing My Religion

    Got to disagree there is good evidence that a subconscious exists. There is no good evidence for the existence of gods. If you take away confirmation bias, magical thinking, and circular reasoning what is religion really left with? Superstition.

    "The Used" Self titled album. I'm not really a screamo fan, but they're not bad.

    Losing My Religion

    My wife is an ex-Christian. A few years ago we met up with a group of members from one of her former churches. We ate lunch and had casual conversation about life in general. At some point they started the inevitable god talks. We didn't want to be rude and just leave, so we just listened...

    Doing some more drawing

    Very nice! I don't have an artistic bone in my body so I always respect people who do.

    Right............... Advertising has gotten so out of control. There is ad feces spewing out of your computer, your phone, your TV, gas pumps, billboards, etc, etc, etc. It has just become white noise. When you see a Coke ad are you going buying more Coke? I think people are already buying...

    "Pi-Hole-A black hole for internet advertising." I have mine installed on a Raspberry Pi connected to my router so that I can protect all of the phones and computers in my house from being tracked and spammed by advertisers. There is also a way to install it on just one computer.

    You read that correctly. Ad Blocker I started with a software based ad blocker in Google Chrome, but apparently Google has decided to stop blocking their own ads. Makes sense. Ad Blocker Blocker Many websites are now using anti-ads block software that will yell at you and or deny you access...

    Freedom From Religion

    "Why someone wouldn't assume a position of agnosticism instead is what perplexes me." The commonly understood definition of "atheist" as someone who is claiming there is no god is actually a strawman invented by theists to make the position sound unreasonable. The word "atheist" literally means...

    Freedom From Religion

    When I joined this forum I read the rules carefully and as an ardent atheist the part about not discussing religion stuck out to me as something I needed to be careful about. I started exploring and found this section of the forum and I'm like whaaat? Politics and religion are divisive...
