Apparently the family that owns Chick fil a also bought a movie studio in 2022 in Atlanta and they filmed some marvel stuff there. So it might make a little bit of sense?

I actually prefer a mostly text web. If the trade off for ditching JavaScript is not getting hovering pop ups, I'm fine with that. I think that while JavaScript can help with usability, it's main use right now is being a pain in the ass. Images and video are useful, don't get me wrong, and that will always be the most popular "use" of the internet, but most of the time I just want to go on the Internet and read cool shit without fifty different corporations trying to fuck me over with the promise of "enhanced usability". Like a link has to have some floating bullshit for me to click it. Absolute madness.

Yep, you can. I did it that way for about a month before i got a debrid account. The selection isn't as great since some torrents are dead and since you're torrenting you're at the mercy of the seeders. Also you should be using a VPN while you stream so you don't get a whiny email from your ISP. But i had no trouble watching popular stuff without a db account.

You absolutely don't have to stay at the bank you have a mortgage through. My checking/savings, auto loan and mortgage are all at different banks.
