https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent#Bridging_between_i2p_and_the_clearnet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuze#Bridging_between_I2P_and_the_clearnet

Torrenting anonymously[edit] Torrents can be downloaded anonymously with services such as Tor and i2p. Tor is not designed for this, but i2p is.[26] However, with i2p, torrents can only be downloaded from within the i2p network. This can be useful for users trying to avoid copyright complaints from their ISPs.

Bridging between i2p and the clearnet[edit] Vuze is the only client that makes clearnet torrents available on i2p and visa versa. It has a plugin that connects to the i2p network. If the user adds a torrent from i2p, it will be seeded on both i2p and the clearnet, and if a user adds a torrent from the clearnet, it will be seeded on both the clearnet and i2p. For this reason, torrents previously published only on i2p are made available to the entire Internet, and users of i2p can download any torrent on the Internet while maintaining the anonymity of i2p.[27][28]

Added these two sections, as well as a similar section on the Vuze article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia#Music

Music[edit] Hearing an old song can bring back memories for a person. In order to do this, the song must have been heard at one time, and then not heard again for a long time. If it is heard throughout life, it would lose its association with any specific period or experience. Listening to the song again would dilute the memory.[18]

Stub icon	This Internet-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Seedr is a free seedbox, and online service that allows torrent files to be downloaded first to a server, and then to the end user via https, normal web traffic, rather than p2p torrent traffic. It can be useful for users to maintain a moderate degree of privacy, at least enough to stop ISPs from sending copyright notices.[1][2]

Dear Hank & John[edit] In June 2015, Hank Green and his brother John Green started a weekly podcast titled Dear Hank & John.[72] They call it "A comedy podcast about death". Taking a mainly humorous tone, each episode opens with the brothers talking about their lives in a casual fashion, followed by John reading a poem that he selected for the week before the brothers read a series of questions submitted by listeners and offer their dubious advice. The episode closes with a news segment with two standard topics: Mars, presented by Hank, and AFC Wimbledon, presented by John. Hank has said that he enjoys the more conversational tone of the podcast, as it more closely resembles what the vlogbrothers videos used to be like in past years.[73]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism#Etymology_and_definition

Liberals tended to be less motivated by fearful or threatening stimuli, less prone to abide by rules, they exhibited more tolerance for ambiguity, and exhibited more tolerance towards out-group interests. They also sought conditions with less stability, less order, less familiar circumstances, less conformity, and they exhibited less loyalty toward their ingroup. (Taken together, that is a description disturbingly similar to that of a psychopath, thrust into a group-competitive environment, something consistent with some research which has shown increased psychopathology among those on the left.)[22]

The typical Japanese citizen exercises a strong disinterest in politics. The very few people who have strong political opinions seem to be the extreme "right wing" of Japanese politics: those seeking the restoration of the emperor and the era of domination by militaristic aristocracy. One never, ever--not anywhere--sees political rallies for pro-democratic, anti-monopoly, or otherwise citizen-empowering issues.[63]

There is no such thing as an ‘alpha’ in a wolf pack. An early study that coined the term 'alpha wolf’ had only observed unrelated adult wolves living in captivity. In the wild, wolf packs operate more like human families: there’s no defined sense of rank, parents are in charge until kids grow up and start their own families, younger wolves don’t overthrow the 'alpha’ to become the new leader, and social dominance fights are situational.[227][228]

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden#2015

Saying that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. It’s a deeply anti social principle because rights are not just individual, they’re collective, and what may not have value to you today may have value to an entire population, an entire people, an entire way of life tomorrow. And if you don’t stand up for it, then who will?

Whether, or how frequently, a woman wears a bra is not a factor in the likelihood of developing ptosis, or sagging breasts, during her lifetime, and the so-called 'pencil test' has only social, not scientific, significance.[330][331]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra#Usage

Wearing a bra does not prevent breasts from sagging. Many women, in the mistaken belief that breasts cannot anatomically support themselves, think that wearing a brassiere will prevent their breasts from sagging later in life.[82] Researchers, bra manufacturers, and health professionals cannot find any evidence to support the idea that wearing a bra for any amount of time slows breast ptosis.[83] Bra manufacturers are careful to claim that bras only affect the shape of breasts while they are being worn.[82][84]

Measurements of global absolute poverty (as opposed to relative poverty, which is more controversial) using the widely used metric of $1.00/day (in 1990 U.S. dollars) shows a decrease in extreme poverty over the last few decades, but most people surveyed in several countries incorrectly think it's increased or stayed the same.

European honey bees are often described as being essential to all human food production, leading to claims that without their pollination, all of humanity would starve, or even die out.[267][268] Einstein is sometimes misquoted as saying If bees disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.[269] But not only did the scientist not say that, there is no science to support the prediction, itself.[270] In fact, many important crops need no insect pollination at all. The ten most important crops,[271] comprising 60% of all human food energy,[272] all fall into this category.

The friendship paradox is the phenomenon first observed by the sociologist Scott L. Feld in 1991 that most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average.[459] It can be explained as a form of sampling bias in which people with greater numbers of friends have an increased likelihood of being observed among one's own friends. In contradiction to this, most people believe that they have more friends than their friends have.[460]

A common belief regarding self-harm is that it is an attention-seeking behaviour; however, in many cases, this is inaccurate. Many self-harmers are very self-conscious of their wounds and scars and feel guilty about their behaviour, leading them to go to great lengths to conceal their behaviour from others.[461] They may offer alternative explanations for their injuries, or conceal their scars with clothing.[462][463]
