So you can't have a cell phone with internet in this house? Sounds like an amazing situation.

No, it was when the guy gave me the password for "his" internet access. At that time he said there was some sort of Google filter installed for porn that sends an alert when it detects it. Never heard of that before but we all know filtering software exists so I have no reason to doubt him. I wasn't listing anything at home because I've been doing that at a friend's house. He's also an online seller and he knows exactly what I'm selling (he sells similar stuff plus a variety of other stuff).

Please explain "cell phone with internet". If there is a technologically feasible solution I'd like to know about it. As far as I am aware, in order to have my own internet I'd need coax run in and a hole in the wall and since renting is where you pay a premium for temporary, restricted use of property, that option is not available to me.

Renting is where you pay a premium for temporary, impaired use of property.

You've been told 100 times how this works, to claim otherwise is a complete falsehood.

So it's just a google/chrome "filter"?!?!?!?

Wow, that's easily remedied.

Wrong and wrong. You FAIL.

1) At one time previously I paid 73% of my income on rent.

2) I pay more than enough for rent as it is, I'm unwilling to pay anything for a woman and child to live with me. Not to mention that if I tried that in this house, the guy to whom I pay rent would probably want 3x the current rent and a cut of the action.

I have no idea what he has. He mentioned Google. Are you suggesting a parole officer would allow a parolee to have an unmonitored data stream with an easily-defeated filter?

And since it's "his" internet access wouldn't he know what I'm accessing anyway?

You're so, so wrong, and so, so busted.
