Oh they do, but the better stuff is like "hard" and everything.

what’s the point in even using a VPN, if you have to identify yourself just to use it?

Having to identify doesn't mean they can see inside the tunnel or that your VPN IP can be traced back to you.

I'm Dutch speaking Belgian, so culturally similar I guess...

I generally don't wear my shoes at home, and I don't know anybody who does, but it is considered weird to ask guests who are not staying over to take their shoes off, and it would be considered weird to voluntarily take your own shoes off in someone else's home. It is more a question of intimacy and is considered getting too familiar. So unless you're really familiar with each other, or you're staying over long term or something, guests keep their shoes on.

In practice, I take my shoes off when I'm at my parents' home, or at my girlfriend's place, everywhere else they stay on, even at friends' places.

Yeah, but against people with portable ATGMs, like Javelins or NLAWs. Anything else is not going to make a dent in an Abrams tank.

Also, they'd be much more likely to send in IFVs, like Bradleys. They're much "better" equipped to deal with "people".

Not when the output is a pipe.

Quoting myself:

It’s a great movie

So: ???

Interstellar is a very plot driven movie, it's leads you by the hand saying "these things are happening, in this order, and it's interesting and engaging", and when the movie is done you get it: the journey is at an end, and the good guys conquered the big problems, emotions were felt along the way, and you're not really left with any lingering questions afterwards. It's a great movie, but it's also a rather easy movie to enjoy if you're into space stuff.

Whereas 2001, aside from being an absolute visual feast, is more abstract and theme driven, about humanity's place in the cosmos, and it makes you ask deeper questions, but you must actually pay attention and discover those questions and explore them in your own mind to actually engage with the movie. It's not a passive experience, and your engagement with the movie can stay with you for days. It's certainly a much more difficult movie to enjoy.

When I was in my 20s, I hated movies like 2001 and Bladerunner, I found them so tedious, because I wanted scifi like Aliens goddammit. Later, I learned to really enjoy these more cerebral movies that took effort to engage with, because they were so rewarding when that effort paid off.

I don't think Sandy did much game design on Doom though. He was mainly a level designer who came in late in the project to finish the levels started by Tom Hall, who had left id software, and to grind out levels for the third episode. By the time Sandy joined id software, Doom (the engine and game mechanics) was already pretty much the game it was going to be.

I should also say that the maps he made for Doom and Doom 2 are by far my least favorite in the game.

People who are "actor rich" aren't the problem. AFAIK Clooney hasn't done anything particularly immoral, he just played in some movies and got paid well.

You should be mad about the amoral corporations that are ruining the world, and the sociopaths that control them.

what are you paying monthly?

I have proton unlimited subscription that comes to about €10 per month (though you can often get temporary better deals for the first year or so), and that includes proton mail as well, which was my main reason for getting it. Just the VPN should be a bit cheaper.

Any negatives you can think of?

Not many. Speeds are good, and the IPs seem to have a better reputation than on Private Internet Access, for example: no captchas on google.com.

One recent change I was rather annoyed by is that they restricted the number of servers that are available with a manual wireguard configuration file to 10 per country, when hundreds are available through the app or browser extension.

I've had a few connectivity issues with the firefox browser extension as well, but nothing as of late.
