Any recommendations? Or are you joking.

I know it sounds kind of ridiculous but I'm 100% serious. Depending on what adblocker you use (I recommend uBlock Origin for desktop and AdGuard for Android), you'll have some way of subscribing to different adblocking lists. They are usually divided in categoriee like ads, privacy, social, annoyances etc. Browse through them all, but the one you're looking for might in annoyances and will called like Adblock Warning Removal list or Anti-Adblock Killer.

Channeling /m/nostupidquestions, I have wondered off and on for about twenty years what Gsomenumber means when referring to countries or summits. Can someone help?

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I've always understood it as "Group of X most powerful and influential countries"

So, G7 means the "top seven" and G20 means the "top twenty". What their criteria for determining the ranking, I don't know.

[-] breakfastmtn@geddit.social 5 points 1 year ago

It basically means that but they are formal, static groups. The group composition doesn't change based on rankings. Russia was invited into the G7 in the late 90s (and it became the G8) then formally expelled when they invaded Crimea in 2014.

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for that clarification.

However, I'm still not quite sure how they came up with the "We're the top most powerful countries" claim, since it has always been so arrogant to me.

Also, how do they even choose which countries would be included in the club? For example, would Indonesia or the Philippines be part of a hypothetical G50? Why?

[-] breakfastmtn@geddit.social 5 points 1 year ago

There's no objective metric at all. It was really just the most important economic allies of the US in 1975.

The G20 was partially founded in response to criticism that 7 countries were making economic decisions for the world. The G7 chose who was invited to join. Indonesia and the Philippines are both kind of members (permanent invitees) through ASEAN.

Thanks for your various additional info and clarifications on the topic!

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hey, thanks for this. I'm Filipino but I've got no idea about that.

[-] veroxii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That it was an invitation only club was entirely the point.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Laudable but still can't stand Sunak tbfh

[-] sadreality@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

As a citizen hard to swallow the llEAdErShIP, no doubt, but broken clock is right twice a day lol

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How's that "3 PMs that no one voted for" thing treating you?

[-] sadreality@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I am a citizen of another G7 plantation but you know it is all the same... some daddies nobody asked for making my life difficult although it seems UK plebs been getting fucked extra hard recently.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A cynical bit of me thinks all the other countries know Moscow is a paper tiger, and so taking "the right side" of things becomes politically convenient. True to dictator fashion, any show of weakness is poison.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
