With a traditional download, examplesite.com sends a file to your computer, that's it.
With torrents, instead of that you download little pieces of the file from many different computers. Sometimes hundreds of different computers. Then once you've downloaded the file you can then start sharing pieces to other people downloading. The more people doing this, the faster the downloads will be for everyone else and the less strain it will put on each computer's Internet connection.
Also if not many people are seeding, there's a danger that the file will have 0 seeders and nobody can download it at all.
This is also why torrenting is good for privacy. Shutting down one website isn't so hard. Shutting down hundreds of random personally owned computers is very hard.
I'm pretty sure insults fall under free speech protection in the US, and in fact this case/law has been overruled by higher courts for this reason.
As long as you're not committing slander or libel, you can insult anyone for anything really. And slander/libel is very hard to prosecute as you have to prove that the claims aren't true and they they also caused tangible damage.
One of the things I like about my OnePlus 12
Best use is it allows me to control the A/C in my apartment complex's gym :)
Acceptable but only if vague memories and impressions occasionally surface and lead to some plotline where you eventually rediscover yourself
Though that would work much better if you shared with the DM I suppose
Working 60 hours a week taught myself to only sleep about 6 hours to claw back a little personal time. Shit's fucked up.
