  • I personally love torrents, their decentralized nature will make them last forever.

    I would love to see a client that shows you a full catalog of movies and shows and downloads right from the client. If I choose a movie it will just start downloading it right there and can let me watch it in a few minutes. Basically similar to popcorn time but actually maintained, and also supports a vpn.

    My family still likes to use streaming services because they choose something off of Netflix and watch. It would be nice to have the same experience with torrents.





  • When have Palestinians invaded Israeli land? Israelis are still creating illegal settlements right now.

    But more importantly, this genocide is not a two way street. There are terrorist attacks but that pales in comparison to an all out genocide. When have Palestinians leveled whole neighborhoods or dropped chemical weapons on people? Israelis are determined to kill or at least displace the millions of remaining Palestinians and it’s disingenuous to say that’s the same thing the Palestinians are doing.





  • Did you read the article? The legislation steadily increases the legal age limit so that kids don’t get hooked on tobacco in the first place. No one will have to “quit cold turkey”.

    One of the biggest issues with the war on drugs is that it criminalizes the use of certain drugs. This doesn’t do that.

    As for your claim about a black market and a mafia:

    we have already taken steps to reduce smoking rates. This includes providing 1 million smokers in England with free vape kits via our world-first ‘swap to stop’ scheme

    They’re still providing people with tobacco, just a less-deadly kind. Comparing that to the war on drugs is ridiculous. The point of the war on drugs isn’t to get people to quit using dangerous drugs recreationally, every reasonable person wants that. The point of it is to control minorities and poor people. That’s absolutely not what’s happening here.

    None of this is to defend Sunak btw, he’s a broken clock that happens to be right in this instance.








  • At least they’re personalized now

    All that means is that they’re tracking everything about you to figure out what ads would work on you. They share your data between companies to build a profile on you.

    I used to think the same as you but after enough time I just got completely fed up with everyone constantly trying to sell me things. Basically every interaction online is someone trying to take money from me. Not only that but they go out of their way to make things shittier because you’re more likely to part with your money. Like how article websites wait just long enough before you start reading before covering the screen with an ad and breaking your concentration. You can’t just scroll past those and mind your business.
