This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Torrents tend to be more reliable quality; around here, they're both equal in legality/illegality, and you don't have to think about your Internet connection.

The actual trick is having done it earlier, not trying on the couch right beforehand.

In many places there is a big legal distinction between consuming and distributing copyrighted content, when torrenting you are doing both.

Torrent is more reliable than paid a services like Prime Video. My wife got pissed watching one of her shows on Prime. It kept on buffering and quality was trash. I torrented the entire season, put up a JellyFin server. She was so happy.

Tldr: Prime video is trash.
