in Chrome is going to settings --> privacy and security --> site settings --> JavaScript. Under "not allowed to use JavaScript" add the sites you want to access. This is the only trick I've found that works 100% of the time. Video players and widgets that use JavaScript won't work of course but if you want to read something without a pop-up telling you to turn off your adblocker followed by another pop-up saying you've reached your article limit this will do it.

Great for minimizing ads and distractions, but even more great for getting around roughly 50% of paywalls
(without having to copy and paste urls or download any extra extensions/tools)

definitely works better on desktop but doable on mobile/safari. you see the little reload page button by the url? when you click it to reload a page, it is replaced by a X. if you click the X before the page fully reloads, you can load the article but not the paywall. totally reflex based. for legal reasons I Have Never Done This And Am Just Relaying Information And Do Not Encourage Others To Do This. so this is an anti-rec.

This NYT piece from last year explains why it’s actually a Good and Normal thing to do. I used to have like six in the bed at once but recently culled my crew to two practical ones: this sleeping Charmander plushie, which I hug while I’m in the fetal position, and an Ugly Doll I put between my knees because it’s nice and flat. They're so comfy and I fall asleep in 30 seconds like this (also they’re cute and I love them)

Consciousness can be agonizing but it's also a miracle. Sometimes the pressure to make the most of it feels debilitating. There's so much I want to do, and I have to remind that the stuff that really gives life meaning isn't hard to access. I think making a true effort to know yourself, make connections with the people around you, and observe and engage with the world are more than enough reasons to justify your existence.
