Love cults. Interestingly these docs come in pairs - there's another doc on the same cult coming out in 2024 called The Synanon Fix. There's also a 1965 movie called "Get Off My Back" which is around...

OK - Holland or the Netherlands?

If your nation supplied bandwidth to the rest of Europe as efficiently as you supply the vast range of sometimes illicit brain shifting narco-molecules - we'd all be watching TerraByte quality BlueRay's of WAR and PEACE regularly... ;-)

I'm in the Cotswolds.

My seedbox is in NL. I get a fast DL from it though.

So do you host media files on this area for a public / open system or friends??

I bet you have more cows and sheep per acre down there than me up here in rural West yorks - but cos you're considered an almost Southerner when the net infrastructure was being planned - you were therefore alllocated LOTS more fat fibre!! :-) ?

No-one LOL'd at my bandwidth to narcotics efficiency statement... :-/

As William Blake once said to me - "Good humour is often a sole enterprise..."

Sniff.

Fuck it- I might join REDDIT instead after taking a WOKE humour course...

OMG Noooo!!!
Don't do it, man! Your life is too precious to pollute it on Reddit. Stay pure, for god's sake. Please.

Consider lobotomizing or gelding yourself instead. They're less painful procedures which leave you better off.

I'm sure you're right - actually all I use my Reddit login for is their thread called "IDIOTS IN CARS"...

Any other areas I'd soon be cancelled or worse given the mojority of Reddit types would mostly hate my stance on things..

I'm so glad you chose gelding/lobotomy over Reddit. Just out of curiosity, which did you choose, or are you going for both, you stunning and brave man?

As usual in my half century of life travelling experience - i chose a lesser known 3rd path - called trepanation... :-)

Ah yes, the once time honoured headache remedy which the Bayer cartel banned to prop up their inferior aspirin. Fiends!
