It's really not, people just like to get nerdy about it because there's potential for there to not be overlap in what is findable.

There's two components, an indexer (think pirate bay), and the provider (which is kinda like a shared seedbox). You just search the indexer to get an NZB for what you're looking for.

I use NewsHosting as my provider, they have one of the best retention rates. They charge tons of money if you pay regular rates, but promo rates are like $25 a year. After the first year try to cancel and they'll give you the cheap rate everyone pays.

In terms of open registration indexers, NZBGeek is open, I haven't had a problem with them. I also have DrunkenSlug, but they have limited registration.

But yeah, I can find much more than on torrent sites, and it downloads at 10's of MB a second.

Brother, people should be allowed to entertain and write down horrific thoughts, especially in a private context, and it not be censored. Policing thought crimes is orders of magnitude more horrific than whatever vile shit someone can put on a page.

I would say it is gender neutral to male coded, diminutive in nature.

You call a child "buddy." It is male coded, but because it refers to children it becomes more androgynous in nature.

I've been in social contexts where in the local dialect it was gender neutral and status neutral, but in other contexts it is not so much male coded as it was to belittle.

Went and looked at the documents that show up, both are on "russian hacking". 100% honey pot if I've ever seen one.

Lies, he was summarily executed for advocating outdoor cats.

It feels a bit silly to police genericised terms, yes 90% of "mild" pejoratives are a lot more fucked if one digs into the etymology of them, but no one is whipping out the skull calipers when they say something is idiotic.
