  • Both of our statements are true. Yours focuses on the fact that most people are average ish.

    If you want to fence about it though, my point is that most people are too dumb to not be force fed auch tropes.

    Call me elitist if you'd like. I don't dislike people like that. I just understand that producers need to cater to them.

  • It's cinematography shorthand to help the audience understand they're the same person without exposition.

    Otherwise half the theater would be whispering to the other half, "Who was that kid they kept showing earlier?"

    Remember that half of the population is below 100 IQ and producers want them to buy tickets.

  • Wait, doesn't your argument support their bill?

    They're agreeing with you; they are suggesting that convincing people of what to do with their money is infringing on their "speech."

    I never get speeds anywhere near reported on VPN

    Neither on Proton nor* Nord have I ever once had speeds anywhere close to what I am supposed to be getting.

    Any review website will tell you that you should expect a 10-30% drop in speeds on VPN through the Proton or Nord servers at major cities, but I always get at least a 90% drop.

    I don't think it's my ISP, because I've done traveling with random providers via coffee shops and hotels and it's always the same 30-60 Mbps cap.

    Is everyone just chronically lying, via articles and anecdotal user reviews? Is there some conspiracy to ensure my personal speeds are lower than anyone else's on either provider's VPN?

    Both possibilities seem absurdly unlikely so there must be something else at play, right? I wouldn't even know where to begin to troubleshoot this other than the switching servers, providers, and speed test tools dozens of times like I already have.
