Not sure about the artist, but these are characters from the game Persona 5 (Haru and Futaba)
Okay, thanks!
Haru asking Futaba where she has to type in her dad's credit card number
I thought you don't need a VPN for things like usenet
If your provider supports SSL and you actually turn it on then no technically don't need a VPN for Usenet.
I guess, that depends on the legislative of your country, maybe they see all interactions with usenet providers as illegal, and if you are not using a VPN they see what IP you talk to. But in the other hand, in such countries, using (foreign) VPNs may also be illegal🤔
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.

IP law firms tried to get their cases into my country and they only got a 50% success rate on court so they stopped trying (cost benefit thing I suppose).
Also private trackers in my country do not allow the use of VPN (why do they care IDK, they say it is to have more control on who join), so there's little point on getting a VPN for piracy here.

If your country persecutes individual piracy. Mine doesn't.
Our ISP sends 3 strike letters :(
Our ISPs are too cheap and lazy to even try looking. I still use I2P, but only because I need to justify my tin foil hats collection.

I don’t use a VPN because my government has acknowledged that an IP address cannot identify what individual was using it.
wouldn't trust that tbh
