Wouldn't shock me. Police always want things to be done in open and shut cases all of the time. Makes their job easier.

Why is my cursor finding ways to delete my Bluesky account?

Geez, how did Metal Gear Rising Revengeance become $18 when for years sat at $7.49? I think I once got it for $5 years ago. Konami, you greedy bastards.

It wasn't that hard to cancel. People are just dumb.

Now if you want a pain in the ass subscription to get rid of, I'll say Amazon that requires you 4 - 5 clicks to get rid of it as they're pleading with you to stay.

No buffering, can rip the disc to have a digital copy, offline viewing .etc

I'm a little on the flipside with this one. I'm figuring it out that some of the best things out there, aren't usually the ones that cost a premium. It just boils down to what that something is and whether you want it's best version. Like, some of the brand-names in stores aren't usually some of the best that's out there compared to generic brands. I know this from some of the review videos I've watched like Project Farm on YouTube.

I'm going to step in and kindly disagree. You're living one life, your own. When you've experienced what you feel that there is to experience and all that, then things stop being personally exciting for you. Everyone's lives is different from one another with shared generalities.

 

Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.

Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.

 

I have a few.

One is abbreviation hell. Nobody is going to spend the time trying to decipher what you mean when you use over several abbreviations. It is just better if you'd explain than expecting people to understand aside from commonly used abbreviations that are easy to understand.

Another is overstepping your limits for the sake of getting a partner. Compromising your own standards is perhaps one of the worst things you can do when it comes to trying to find dates. Like you're suddenly okay with dating single parents but you don't like children. You're suddenly okay with dating religious people but you're not religious. Things like that. Because it means you're desperate and you're setting yourself up and setting them up for a bad date.

 

I would watch a channel where someone is dedicated to reviewing like low-end budget products like from Dollar Tree, Dollar General .etc In the same vein as Project Farm.

 

I ask because I feel I need to save some money in the oncoming months. Currently, I pay over $76 for 100MBps/1000GB cap. And I don't think it's a bad deal, but they're going to be hiking it up to $90+ by next October and I feel it is not worth that. But I also need to save money too.

What is the difference between 55MB and 100MB when it comes to speed? The cap for the 55MBps plan is 350GB and I tried asking if that could be altered but the ISP says they can't. This plan will cost me $30 a month.

All I ever do anymore is just stream YouTube, sometimes Hulu/Netflix/Tubi. Occasionally I'll download a game or two, multiplayer gaming is non-existent.

Edit: There's been a lot of good responses replied to this and I appreciate it.

I'm leaning towards on downgrading with the volume of people that suggest that it isn't that bad, but it boils down to preferences and habitual behaviors when using the internet. With so many games already downloaded and being left to just streaming/Second Life, I think it warrants the change.

I just wish that my ISP would've kicked up the cap to 500GB because that'd sweeten the deal much more but this ISP is not well known and these kind of ISPs operate on different worlds than the big names.

Furthermore, people have suggested going 5G Wireless but the problem with that is that my apartment management is stingy as fuck so it's not an option for me nor does Verizon say that they can offer a plan in my current location. Fiber connections such as Google Fiber, MetroNet .etc aren't an option.

Century Link seems to only offer $70 for...10MB in my location (Fucking awful)

Mediacom says they can't even service my area (then how come I see your vans around where I am with other customers?)

 

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.
