Do you know what owning a VPN (Virtual Private Network) has done for me? 

I’ve had one that I faithfully pay for every year for the past few years. Having one has taught me, once again, what you see on the internet is purposely maneuvered. 

I get the idea that the people in the UK don’t need to see all the information from the US and vice verse. But did you know, until Netflix stopped allowing people with VPN’s to watch with them on, people in other countries get to see WAY more films than those in the US? There were films that, in the US, you can only get from their DVD service, streaming in Germany or other places. Netflix clipped that ability with a VPN and now you’re only given what you’re supposed to be given.

It goes even further. Some to a benefit. I have a crappy internet service. But when I use my VPN, the speeds are a little faster and I download movies and things faster without the service provider sending emails telling me I’m using too much data. Which I thought was always bullshit. I remember getting an email from them suggesting I NOT watch Netflix. Then what the fuck was the service for? Instead, they wanted me to pay another $50 for more data. 

Instead, I pay $40 a year and tell them to go fuck themselves. 

Granted, I can’t use it to watch Netflix, but the upside is I download all the movies I want anyway.

You know? Each and every exceeding journal entry here is proving that survival and to have ‘more’ necessitates going around ‘the system’. 

How sad is that?

How’s he doing in school?

Just fine. Still GPA 4.0. A little choppy on the past few reports but I’m still doing better than well. Psychology is coming up next week.

How appropriate.
