My mother who does not know how to distinguish between science and pseudoscience:

It’s clearly your mitochondria creating less energy because your brain tells them to not do anything because you are lazy. You need to try. I saw an instagram reel about it!

(I have a known lifelong immune illness which greatly restricts my energy capacity but my mum says I’m not “being positive”)

They basically showed how authoritarian they are by banning (and later unbanning) a bunch of porn and Elon Musk critical subreddits as well as some transgender and disability related ones.

Yes, My friend,

When I was homeless,

I had “chosen” to be disabled,

“chosen” to live in a country where applying for benefits takes years,

“chosen” to live in a country where healthcare costs weren’t covered after I lost my job,

“chosen” to live in a country where the landlord’s profit was more important than my survival.

Thanks for the offer it’s really kind but I have everything I need with public torrents.

Could you explain what this is? A torrent aggregator?

I was using torrent galaxy.

Binding VPN to torrent client didn’t work?

Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.

I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.

 

Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

If Trump cuts social security, it’s euthanasia for me. I’m too disabled to care for myself and prefer killing myself than starving in the streets.

Thanks.

While the daily beast is a fun read, it’s hard to make out where they exaggerate and dramatify things
