Not if you use Privacy Pass, then they only have the proof that you generated x amount of tokens (which are batch generated btw so you can't correlate generation to search)

It doesn't ever get better. We are stuck until we mercifully die.
No matter what I do it will always be an endless cycle of unmanageable chores and work, ever-changing medication and dumb productivity tips while I watch other people do everything effortlessly because they weren't born a disabled retard like myself. My achievements went from getting a good grade to being able to wash the dishes

Absolutely do use whatever makes you happy, but that is a false equivalence. Plex just updated their license to allow them to track your content consumption and sell that data to whomever they want...

Parks is just more americanized, it isn't "better". Later seasons of The Office look and feel much more like it, as the writers pandered more and more to mainstream audiences

Your image of the show is pretty distorted, it's not at all some edgy middle schooler show. The humor is (generally) in how much of a dumbass Michael (the boss) is and how much he ruins situations trying too hard to be funny, and the witty jokes are generally well performed one liners by Jim (John Krasinski) or malapropisms by Michael, like "I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious" or "his cap was all pitated!"
The show repeatedly makes fun of Michael's prejudice, too, like how he feels superior to the warehouse guys despite having the same education as them and not even earning that much more. It isn't edgy to make fun of the stereotypical middle-aged white male boss being insensitive

As a tobacco fiend I couldn't ever get into smoking cigs. The only time in my life I've smoked consistently was when I was extra depressed and trying to microdose suicide. Guess I'm lucky

I loved it as a life long One Piece fan

I was this guy in my teens (minus the hoping girls get abused part...) and it 100% comes from depression and self loathing. He probably had a tough time getting along with the "normal" kids early on and decided to self isolate. Maybe the now normies had a part in that too back then, bullying him and so on, I know it happened to me... It's a rough and very hard situation to live through, but there's hope

Maybe speedruns too could be a good fit.

Thankfully this is a .world comm focused on mental health so I can say this. I don't think it's productive or particularly helpful to anyone to be constantly acknowledging "the system".
Example: your boss screams at you. IMO the best reaction would be like "damn, what a dumbass, I'll do my best to avoid him in situations like this one or change my job". Simple fixes and you can go on with your life. But no, posts like these want you to turn this simple day to day issue into one you can't ever do anything to deal with, and amplify the negative feelings from just simple anger or sadness to hopelessness, to further "class consciousness" or whatever political motivation. Same thing with right wingers being robbed and turning it into some immigration or race thing instead of just settling down.
Not to say there isn't space to discuss this stuff, but actively reminding yourself of problems you have no say in fixing is a negative pattern

Isn't that a core symptom of autism that's shared by pretty much every autistic person?
