I'd rather him die a martyr, a symbol for all to look up to. Rather Luigi than Trump.

Land of Double Standards.

Pulling an excerpt from George Carlin: "Politicians hide behind three things in this country: The Flag, The Bible and Children. No child left behind! It wasn't long ago you were talking about giving children a headstart. Headstart, Left Behind. Someone's losing fucking ground here."

I am not one of those children that clutches their pearls for family members to give what they busted their ass for away for free. My father just paid off the mortgage of his home. It is his.

And he paid it for over 25 years as people like us lived in and left it. It is just unearned entitlement for any of us to come to him, demanding or expecting something he earned through hard work.

And it is something generations after his wont understand. You try being 66 years old and enduring the grind for so long to finally have something like a home to yourself. And not have a thought of reluctance of just giving it away.

It is ironic considering how much of a clutch todays generations have with their phones. Does anyone think they are the kind to give a home away when it is paid off? You tell me.

Well, no, because it was designed just to piss all of us off in the past two decades.

Having a strong speech skill. I'll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.

It'll be the mail service for the alt-right, I'd imagine.

ProtonMail is enough for me.

Shove that stupid 'X' up your ass, Musk.

Awesome.

The day FireFox and UBlock Origin stop working with eachother completely. Might be the day I just uninstall all of my browsers and use my PC more personally than before.

Exactly, it's absolutely absurd.

Think we ought to just start harassing marketers and anyone involved with advertising.

People don't want to deal with the heavy costs and load of hosting their own content. That's unfortunately the sacrifice. Google is big enough to house it all, whereas, we'd probably see content from a creator last for a finite amount of time before they end up having to close up shop or beg for donations.

Good joke, YouTube.

Ah yes, but what about the violation to our time where we've had to sit through 30 second ~ 2 minute ads of over-dramatized ways for shitty companies to get us to buy shit we don't want and subscribe to services we don't need? What about those violations and those violations happen more frequently than us blocking your ads? The hell with you.

 

Let's not turn this into what the Reddit subreddit of Piracy has turned into and that's an endless sea of questions that are all the same - "Do I need a VPN?".

And the loud and vocal answer to such a question is - yes. Yes you do need a VPN for pirating. Nobody gets a VPN for casual use and I'm under the impression that VPN services know a lot of people are going to be going to them for pirating and not just accessing content out of their country. And it's for that reason, is why I'm skeptical on entrusting my activity with the bigger VPN names available.

I use ProtonVPN myself, by the way.

Pirating under your raw IP address, only will set you up to get pegged by your ISP whether it's in a short time or a long time. I've only ever gotten one single ISP letter in my entire 26 years of pirating and it was simply because I downloaded without a VPN. Well I was also downloading off of someone else's network to take the fall, but I was confronted about it either way.

And I've gotten away with so much pirating because of my careful cautiousness when it comes to pirating. That and this applies to the United States, but the statue of limitations is 3 years when it comes to copyright infringement. So, good fucking luck to any ISP or so that wishes to try and nail me for something I downloaded 10 years ago, but I digress.

But a large part of me avoiding so much does contribute to having a VPN. So, yes, VPN is required. Please don't ask anybody in the pirating community 100 questions that are all just ways to ask whether or not you need a VPN. You do.
