Not a drama, but I think Brooklyn 99 did a good job parodying that "pro-police no matter what" perspective. It's also just plain hilarious.

I remember, pre-wikileaks, when Glen Greenwald was left of center. Or at least that was my perspective at the time.

I enjoyed "It Takes Two" quite a bit. "A Way Out" is another co-op game from the same publisher that I've only heard good things about.

Who's paying for these "life skill workshops"? If it's parents, at least half those kids will never see a single workshop.

Seedbox providers are taking on the majority of the risk by providing the service. It's in their interest to keep quiet about it. If they're served with a legal request, they'll honor it, if it conforms to their local laws. But so will your ISP, who has no incentive to protect your information.

Also, just my opinion, but I think seedbox operators tend to be people who are doing the same things their customers are.

 

I love that this is supported but it's not for me. Can I turn it off?

There are some very cheap VPNs out there. Get a year long deal on Slickdeals, or a similar site. Come renewal time , switch providers and got another discounted subscription for the following year. VPN providers fall all over themselves trying to lure you away from your current provider.

Or, even better, get a seedbox. Many of those even offer VPNs at no additional cost. So you get the insulation of never torrenting on your home connection, and a "free" VPN, that isn't shared with a million other people, for things like watching foreign streaming services or just plain increased privacy.

it's worth the download time to kick it up a notch to 1080

In general? Yes, 100%. For cartoons on a small screen? Debatable.

I watch some shows I've aquired here and there on Plex. And a bit of Youtube. But most of my time in front of a screen is spent either working or playing games. I've spent years ridding my life of advertising and I cant stand even 10-minutes of watching cable or broadcast TV.

I'd still be on the Pixel 5a 5G if it wasn't for the screen dying (a common issue with that model). I loved that phone. In battery saver mode it would last 3-4 days with light use.

Love it when I can upvote an entire comment chain.

It was a really fun game. It took months to finish it, in small chunks, trying to fit in time here and there with my kid. I'm glad we finished though.
