Actually because I use NoScript, nothing at all shows up when I visit that URL. Empty white page. Defective site design.

  "I block HTML and your site doesnt load for me, defective site!" I know JS isnt HTML, but at this point, it basically is. Complaining that a site is broken because you choose to break it is just astounding.

    > but at this point, it basically is. Normally, I find belly-aching about something not looking right or not working right because NoScript is on is silly. But I find it astounding that this page requires javascript to display the text of a _blog post_. What is so important that your site completely shits the bed and fails so badly that it shows nothing but a white screen. Frankly, I think Shopify just purposely sabotages the page because they want you to enable javascript so they can enable analytics and track you across their sites. Not to mention they load code from Google APIs, Google Analytic, Shopify.com, Embed.ly, Gfycat.com, and Mlveda.com, which means I'm suddenly running code from websites I never intended on visiting. Why should visiting https://fymhotsauce.rocks https://fymhotsauce.rocks send a road flare to all those services? You're right, this is the new normal, but it's shit and we should be complaining.

    That's not why the site is broken if you're using uBlock/NoScript. It's broken because it loads everything (even the text of the site) from 3rd party domains and scripts.

      The text is there. You can see it if you disable CSS.

  It works with JS disabled if you also disable CSS.

Yes, we did. Quoting from the post: > If you didn’t know, FYM Hot Sauce was the first sponsor for the professional DotA 2 team, “Team NP. [...] When Team NP (who had never qualified for a major tournament) made it to the their first major tournament, held in Boston I decided to go and support them. > If someone tried to run off with a bag full of hot sauce in one of my other suitcases it would be awkward and ultimately not a huge deal
