As someone who browses Internet through a vpn 99.9% of the time - no, they can't. There wasn't a single time when vpn was the problem.
Re:Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason on Thursday October 30, 2025 @05:41AM (#45758050)
Hianime? They have both dubs and subs at the same time. For non-english subs/dubs there're probably pirate versions too. And yes, subs and dub will be slightly different anyway because dubbers change it sligthly for better flow or lip sync if needed.

It's funny that people still believe governments let people elect anything. You can vote, you can ignore elections - result will be the same, your opinion doesn't matter

No. Countries just will take money from their people. It diminishes people capacity to survive.

>I wish educators would stop telling people that it’s not reliable

Why? It's really not reliable. It doesn't have any decent standards for sources. Any controversial topic is a constant edit war. Wikipedia is only good when you're okay if info turn out to be false.

In this region we actually need zero-state solution. It's beyond repairing

I tried this right now and noticed that I count tap for the first time. But the most important thing is that all of them are different and form a repeatable pattern. So brain just remembers the sensation of the fourth tap and I can tap in fourths subconsciously for a while.

The other way to deal with this exercise is just tapping for the odd count in one place and for the even in another. So you know when the fourth tap is because you subconsciously know it was long enough time after the second one and it is in the right place on the table.

>A person can also learn a few guitar chords and possibly play a carefully-chosen song in that time.

He can't. He'll know how to play it, but it will require many hours of repetitions to reach enough speed.
