Unfortunately not. I had to use vpn to dl patches for wildstar (but not to play it, for some reason) and i had same/similar issues using vpn. I got rid of it though and now just use a dns service to watch netflix.

If it's natural and contextual, I don't mind. Like when Dusty Johnson is putting for the championship and the ball is actually getting close to going in.
When it's yelling 'get in the hole' on a par 5 tee shot or orchestrated bullshit, it's... well still mostly funny:
(for those that don't... one guy yells "Filet Mignon," another guy follows up with "Medium Rare.")

Spending time with a girl I've only seen a few times spread far apart, butterflies that won't go away are a major rustler. They need to invent those self-driving I,Robot cars so one can drink before hand.

I have worked abroad for the last ~16 years. I am American, work for an American company, paid in US Dollars into a US bank. I can relate to all of this.
Though, it is easily remedied with a quick VPN connection. You only need to do this when making purchases or account management.
I do this for both Steam and SoE / Daybreak.

Poorly written test questions. I'm talking about the ones that include slang or seems to be written in a way that touches a wider audience, but when looked at literally doesn't have the meaning that the feelings evoke. I'm just like "write it correctly!" I shouldn't have to waste my valuable test time debating what the question is actually asking.
Add in the fact that teachers sometimes purposefully throw in red-herring questions, questions purposefully written to be misleading or ambiguous, that aren't much different than their normal garbage, I want to throw my arms up and storm out or initiate debate on the spot.
I hate being a C student because of this bullshit. Can't win for losing.

Back in High school or Jr high, I figured out the best course of action was to read the test how it was written and be prepared to argue with the teacher. I had many grades changed all the way through college. In fact, I think there was only one time when the teacher wouldn't listen to reason. I had another asshole of a teacher who would change my grade, but told me not to tell anyone else. His opinion was that if they didn't care enough to check the answers, they didn't deserve a better grade.
I'm still curious about bubble's complaint though. I don't understand why it's a problem.

I'd actually call that "asshole" teacher, decent. One of the biggest problems I have with college age people is the complete lack of caring and effort. So many kids want to just glide by on Dad's money and when someone takes the time to read, comprehend, argue, and then back up a point/claim, kudos to them (you, in that instance). If I was a college professor I'd probably fail 95% of every class for being lazy, entitled fucks.

Yeah, man, it sucks that the tests you're taking are so poorly written it's dropping your letter grade by 2 ranks.....? I mean, of all the people in your classes and a C is the highest anyone can get? That's whack!

I was taking an employee survey the other day about a new program that was basically formatted: "Question: this or that? Indicate your answer: yes or no." Was pretty funny. Best part was I asked several other people who completely unironically said 'Oh, I definitely thought yes on that one.' The fuck? Not sure if they just didn't read, can't read, or don't care, but this is why we can't have nice things.

Not to take away from your point, but this particular asshole teacher was teaching juniors in HS. There were a lot of other things that made him an asshole. Like how he seemed to take pride in how many students he failed. He even told us at the beginning of the year that no more than 2 students would get an A in the class (across all 5 classes he taught, so about 150 students), and that about half would fail. He'd adjust the difficulty of the tests as needed to make sure it happened. He taunted some kids during tests by encouraging them to use a coin on the T/F questions since they got way less than 50% correct when they tried to answer based on their own knowledge.
I'll say 3 things to his credit. All test questions did come from the 2 places he said they would. From the textbook and the lecture (which never had any overlap with the texbook). Second, he was a football coach and gave no quarter to athletes, not even players on his own team who weren't going to be able to play because they failed his class. And third, he was reasonable when you went to him with questions about the book or lecture, or when you went to him to argue test questions.
But overall, he was kind of sadistic and I think he had a chip on his shoulder because of the idea that since he's a coach, his class would be an easy A.

I used to argue with teachers, star the questions, go up and ask for clarification, write my question on paper so I wouldnt have to talk. In college, professors won't bend to shit.
And yes, I get C's while the rest get whatever. Don't imply that because I get C's everybody gets C's. The tests are poorly written so these gliding numbfucks can understand them because they are the majority and if you talk at all with sense to them they'll either zone out with glassed over eyes, get bored and forget whats going on, or pissed and make an offtopic barely accurate observation.
