I stopped using them.years ago when they sponsored gab. Don’t have receipts anymore and i dont know what their policy is these days, but suppoeting fascists has always been a hard “no” for me.

Not sharing all my traffic, but downloading over tor is not an option. vpn is a decent solution for that. But yeah, providers need to be somewhat trustworthy.

No worries. While i don’t agree with your standpoint, my question is about people’s feelings and experiences about different vpn providers. Already some good advice here.

That sounds nice. Takes a bit of a commitment looking at their pricing, but i’m willing to, if they deliver a good product.

Well I didn’t ask about a discussion but about alternatives. You do you.

That’s it, thank you!!

“Brust raus, Bauch rein!” (old german proverb)

a fascist social network, gab_com. pia had an affiliate partnership with them a few years back, they knew and didn’t do sth about it.

i know probably nobody wants to hear that, but PIA is dead to me since they sponsored fucking fascist Gab a few years back.

There’s a separate dog for that…

darn, that’s one tasty looking bread…

not astronomy, ok, but what about a “total eclipse of the heart”? memeable?

What would you all reply to Alice Cooper, then?

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch) I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much) I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison

I don’t know what you want to highlight, unless it’s “a lot of people don’t like being confronted with discrimination”. I see OP is passionate about it. But what’s the problem there?

I really don’t think this post deserves all the downvotes. I mean I get how you might feel differently about all or some of the topics the OP brings to the table, but it’s not unfounded and certainly an interesting discussion.

For me, especially the part about sexism in Enterprise really resonated - I have always felt that this is among the worst aspects of the show. I also see points in mpst of the other criticism, although I think part of them can be interpreted differently. For example Section 31: Starfleet has not been a pure utopia since a long time, it’s at least bureaucratic most of the time, with an even dimmer view on it in later series. Section 31 fits in there for me. I don’t require stories to see the story through moral eyes, that can be a (sometimes painful) exercise left to the viewer. I don’t know how much and when this is intended by the series, though.

In any case, I think it’s well worth the discussion and ai’d like to thank the OP for the energy they spent in laying all this out.
