Lol they might as well just shut down at this point. Without extensions Tachiyomi is basically a non-app.

Yes yes, they're undesirables after all. Hopefully, they give them sweet factory-like jobs and maybe even stylish tattoos!

meh. Fan fiction. Not a real book. not a real author.

It depends on

1. Where you are in the world.
2. If you're talking about mobile or home internet (or both)
3. What provider you have.

In the states, I've never hit a wall of any kind on my home internet. I'm on fiber now, but when I was on cable it was the same, in several different states. In general, as soon as one of the (usually only two, because USA broadband monopolies yay!) providers for the area tried to implement some kind of cap, everyone in the area just jumped onto the other provider and the cap eventually went away because they were hemorrhaging customers.

For mobile, its vastly different. There are only a couple cell providers in the whole united states that actually offer uncapped unlimited data, and both of those still come with stipulations, usually things like "During peak hours your bandwidth may be throttled" or something similar. They also cost $80 to $100+ per month. Most cell providers in the states throttle you hard when you go over a certain cap, usually 15-30gb depending on the provider, and what kind of contract you got. You can still connect, but you're now running at 256kbs or something terrible. So technically, its still unlimited, just useless until next month when your cap refreshes.

The chances of an mkv or mp4 containing malware are not zero, but might as well be, imo. You're much more likely to encounter moviefilename.mkv.exe or moviefilename.zip which contains an executable of some kind. Basically traps to take advantage of dumbasses. If you even sort of know what you're doing using tpb for purely media is okay. Hypothetically, of course.

Our two-party system ensures that as long as one party puts up the worst candidate imaginable we have no choice but to vote for the other. It's only in times where both candidates are at least average that we can afford to split our votes and potentially elect a candidate from a third, smaller, party. There aren't enough, or any, protections on our electoral system to keep the two main parties from doing everything they can to hold power, since after all, they would have to be the ones to approve such protections.

Every election year I see people talk about voting for "better candidates" or third party candidates, and I just roll my eyes because our system is working exactly as the two parties intend, and it's institutionalized to the point where there isnt really any way to change it, short of armed insurrection. I always want to ask if that's what they are suggesting.

This is the first time in a long time where you can say "no matter who loses, we win," instead of the other way around.

Yes its a real leap to link the people carpet bombing the area with a hospital being bombed.

Yaaar, we had ourselves a good run goin' legit, mateys, but it looks like it be time to hoist the jolly roger again.
