But the filterlist does not come from uBo, it comes from Easylist?

EasyList doesn't block facebook ads

I hate ads as much as anyone, but I find it hardly surprising that devs at companies playing cat and mouse with ad blockers read the ad blocker source code. Since when is this considered cheating?

Then those devs are deserved with the salary of $100/month. Scumbags.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What's your favorite type of event to plan on Facebook?

Birthdays, bachelor parties, random poker nights. It's far easier and has further reach than doing it manually.

Crazy, I do all of that and more without Facebook and I don't find it difficult or manual at all. It seemed like you were implying people who use Facebook to plan tiny events are somehow more social. Maybe I read that wrong.
