A VPN is your best option.

Freeleech has 1 important bit, that most people forget.

All freelech has a set time limit.

As an example; if I set a torrent to freeleech for 94 hours, it stops being freelech when that time is over.  It doesn't matter when you get the torrent file, if you have not finished downloading the video when the time is up, it will start counting against you from that point.

Any part of the video that you got while it's freeleech is "free" while any remaining part will count against you.

Joe's niece got busted for some sort of credit card scam and good ol' Uncle Joe intervened.

The whole family is dirty.

Brent Corrigan used fake documents that were so convincing that no one got in trouble for his doing underage porn.

Liberals will get butt hurt over this, while forgetting it's exactly what they said for the last 4 years.

What they ruled is that states do not have to follow the US constitution and that other states do not have standing to sue them to follow it.

Texas does have standing, because their refusal to obey the constitution directly affects everyone.

So, the SCOTUS is saying that the constitution means nothing.

Voter fraud is a very real thing.

This case took 2 years for the criminal to be charged.

Sherikia L. Hawkins, a city clerk in the Detroit suburb of Southfield has been charged with 6 felonies because she "illegally altered" 193 absentee voters on the rolls in the Nov 2018 election.

The 193 cases are confirmed.  More cases may be found when a deeper examination of the computer system is completed.

Both the MI AG and Sec of State said that no votes were voided because of her actions and did not affect the outcome of the election.

She's a Democrat, go figure.

Let's ignore the problems for a bit.

The gameplay is fun.

You can do missions any way you want, stealth, guns blazing, etc.

Some missions have specific requirements, such as "no kills".

You can help the cops when they are fighting the gangs, or you can side with the gangs against the cops.   You can also help the gangs in shootouts, but then clear out gang areas.

If you do harm to a group, you can't then immediately do a mission for them.  You will have to wait a while.

To get double XP, do a non-lethal takedown of bad guys, then once you have cleared the room of active bad guys, go back and kill all the unconscious baddies.

Cars are expensive.  Save your money, at least for a while, and let the game give you cars via missions.

Like RPGs of old, you advance your skills by doing them.  As an example, Athletics is advanced by running and jumping, while Crafting is advanced by crafting and upgrading stuff.

I'm enjoying the game, BUT it has problems.

For reference, I am playing on an Xbox ONE X.

People, including myself, are experiencing a game-killing glitch where Jackie disappears during the mainline quest "The Heist".  He disappears in the penthouse, which can be managed if you do it right.  HOWEVER, when you go to leave the penthouse, Jackie disappears and there is nothing you can do to change that.  You can't leave the hotel if Jackie isn't with you to get in the elevator.

Not everyone experiences this game-breaking bug, and no one seems to have any idea why it's happening to some players and not others.

My guess is that it is somehow related to things you did previously in the game, resulting in some sort of broken code.

People are saying there are frequent crashes.  This seems to be due to staying in the open map and not going into a sequenced map.  I say this, without total proof, because when I experience the crashes, is when I'm spending ages in the open maps.  Going into a sequenced map allows your RAM to unload all the crap from the main map.

My game has frozen when I'm wandering around town and move the camera around too fast in a busy area.

There are many, many graphical glitches that can be comical or annoying, or in my case "whatever, just fix the game wrecking bugs".

If you have this problem, you can turn down the graphics settings in the game menu.

If you have a high-end PC, then most of this does not apply to you.

Xbox Series X also seems to be working fairly well, for the most part.

PS5 and Xbox ONE X are seeing some bugginess.

PS4 Pro, PS4, and Xbox ONE are hit quite hard.

Most of the cases are not from Trump but from other people.

Social media is determined to continue to help the DNC, so I'm not surprised.

Social media allows the left to violate their rules, but immediately ban those on the right for things that don't even happen on their platforms.

I agree with you, but you need to tone down the language.

The usual site rules apply.

Every post must be either a rant or a rave.  Your title must include which it is.

rant = against

rave = for

[email protected] is UK's National Cyber Security Crime's email for reporting bogus emails.  This replaces the City of London Police email I listed above (now corrected).

Use this email for every email claiming to be from any part of the UK government, at any level.

Also, CC them when reporting scam emails to businesses, such as eBay, PayPal, etc.

@Grotomode:

Of course. No one should ever trust Wikipedia in itself.
It is just a good starting point to find other references.
But definitely a minefield when it comes to any page that relates to politics.

It doesn't even have to be about politics, Wikipedia is full of factual errors.

There is a glaring problem with studies in the current year.

Studies that don't meet the liberal agenda have to be scrubbed from existence.  We have talked about some of these in the Politics section.  The studies are deemed factual, but "offensive", so they had to go.

I'm not saying this study is wrong, but with the academic climate, we can't be sure.  We do know we won't see a study that conflicts with this since it doesn't fit the liberal narrative.

Let's not forget exactly what Trump said;

When you are rich and famous, you can grab them by the pussy because they let you.
