> Tor does it by being so painfully slow an unreliable

I do 95% of my web browsing via Tor Browser and it is very tolerable, most circuits are fast enough for 1080p video (Youtube, Twitch livestreams, etc) without any buffering.

Here is a speedtest I ran just moments ago, I would hardly consider this "painfully slow": https://www.speedtest.net/result/19172283165.png

Of course this is a single tor circuit with an exit node, so speeds are slower when going directly to .onion sites, but the only real slowness comes from the latency and not throughput.


Do you add uBlock Origin to Tor? I know that it is not recommended.

Good riddance


What's the point of making murder and rape illegal if people are still going to do it?


Murder and rape are actions imposed onto other people. As longer as it is voluntary, prostitution cannot be compared.


> Might be time to get a paintball gun

Just wait until you find out that paintball guns are considered firearms are require licensing in the aforementioned region.


I played paintball in Australia and I just had to sign a normal waiver about them not being responsible for injuries


Ownership of paintball guns is regulated under the state-level firearms act in most (all?) states and territories.

You can use them under the direct supervision of the licensed owner, but it's still quite restrictive. If you were to take one and shoot at cameras on the street it would vandalism plus firearms offences, most of which start at inversion of innocence, massive fines and move pretty quickly into prison time.


That's crazy


If you actually purchased one yourself in Queensland, you would need a Cat A firearms license, genuine reason, permit to acquire, safe storage etc as for a firearm.

NSW used to be similar, but a few years ago the state government had a rare moment of common sense and did away with most of that pointless bullshit.


> no one is forced to drive anything. I don't own a car.

Cut him some slack, it is hard for an American to imagine anybody living without a car.


In NYC it's hard to imagine owning a car. Everywhere else it's hard to imagine not owning one.
