Everyday, Capitalism finds a way to ruin my living moments. How can I read articles without having to register for some dumb trial thing? I tried reader view, but I guess it only shows the teaser of the article :/.

      Scihub and libgen are pretty great, though they don’t always have newer/ sorta niche papers 😢. Thanks nonetheless. I was looking for more WSJ-esque publications.

      I was trying to read the article they had about Chinese State Capitalism, and to my dismay, disgust even, I was met with the task of having to sign up for a stupid subscription.

    Nothing will be funnier than “Democracy dies in darkness” at the top and a subscription paywall to read the article

    Some websites need JavaScript for paywall, such as the New York Times. If you load an article and wait the paywall appear and then disable JavaScript (make sure to reload the page), you will be able to read it without a paywall.

    EDIT: If you use the Ublock Origin addon you can disable javascript using it.

    I make emails at mail.com and its a super easy way to make a throwaway email account, just put the login info in a notes app in case they need you to verify it for later use

    If you only need an email address and don’t need to provide payment details etc, try mailinator.com. You can use any @mailinator.com address, and anyone can view any @mailinator.com address inbox via the website.

    Some websites blacklist the mailinator.com domain but mailinator has a steady stream of alternate domain names you can use on their home page.
