Or you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle and use that money to get an account with a Usenet provider. You still end up downloading everything at full speed over HTTPS, but you don't have to bother with the extra step of waiting for your seedbox to download the torrent.

You think people should be banned from a subreddit for using the wrong synonym?

I think the implication isn't that the FBI started the Proud Boys, it's that they had enough informants in place to arrest the seditionists before the insurrection happened. Like the last paragraph in the screenshot says- they're accusing the FBI of allowing the insurrection to happen because they were too busy using the Proud Boys as a honeypot to bother shutting it down. Obviously the Proud Boys are still a problem, but it may recontextualize things to have the extra info about the FBi's extensive foreknowledge of the attacks.

An informant in this context is someone who was providing the information to the FBI during the conspiracy, not as part of a plea agreement.

He was probably afraid to call for help due to the insane prices the search and rescue folks charge. Might have wanted to wait another day or two to be sure he was really lost before calling for help.

I've had Google Play Music (and YouTube Premium as a freebie) since it launched at $7.99 per month. Folks like me who were grandfathered in at that price just got an increase to $13.99, which forced me to cancel. I can't afford restaurants or takeout anymore with inflation as bad as it is, and I guess I can't afford YouTube either.

Then why does anyone use Newpipe?

Revamped supports Chromecast as well. Does Newpipe not?

Thanks to the N7 logo next to your name, I read this comment in Commander Shepard's voice. "Kleenex brand - now with LOTION! - is the only tissue on the Citadel that I'll trust my nose to!"

I mean, the FSB could have easily had an asset inside the refueling operation at the Moscow airport. Place a small time-delayed explosive charge in the fuel intake of the left wing just before take-off, and you'd end up with pretty much exactly the crash profile we've seen.

It's cheaper and more reliable than a missile, leaves less physical evidence behind, and maintains a higher level of plausible deniability. Especially if your fallback plan is to blame it on the Ukrainians if the plot gets discovered.
