I'm not sure I recommend it, but it's my way of doing things.
If you're willing to get drunk then you should be willing to smoke weed. It's different but really no more powerful. Except weed doesn't feel as empowering, it just makes stuff feel more intense and important. Like music becomes something else cooler. But really it's kinda boring after a while. It's just a thing to do to pass the time but is nice to make art more interesting.

Yeah, I am stuck using TOR right now and run into this every 2 seconds. It sucks, but there are ways around it. You can use an online proxy or web archive.

Get the URL that you want to access and plug it into one of these sites:

https://archive.org/web [Use the "Save Page Now" box]

https://archive.fo [Use the "My url is alive and I want to archive its content" box]

https://www.printfriendly.com

https://web-capture.net

Not at all. It is actually an internet unto itself, with proprietary ".onion" links that can only be accessed using the TOR browser [or a special website that converts them into regular internet links]. Many countries block specific internet sites. TOR allows you to use the internet, tricking your computer into thinking that you have an IP address from another country, thus bypassing the blocks.

The TOR network has nodes set up all over the world which act as IP address. The problem that I run into is that each node has several IP addresses attached to it, so when certain websites see that you have one of those IP address, they think that it is malicious or a DDOS attack and block you. But there are ways around that.

TOR eats up a lot of RAM, but is useful as a backup.

Actually, TOR was designed and created by the U.S. military, so thinking that using it will hide you from them is retarded.

Unfortunately, some people do use it for evil, just like the regular internet. There are dark web market places where you can buy pretty much anything using BitCoin [crypto-currency].

Not what I heard. I heard that people over seas use it to access news and info that's banned in their country.

Sounds like you use it to be the cool guy you always wanted to be in high school but you hated the cool guys cause they made fun of you so you try to be a higher form of cool guy that's just as shallow.
