  • Take away the pirates and they’ll have to pay!

    Or people will just not watch movies… Which is far far worse than the pirates as there will be no drive to watch new movies. Having viewers, even if they don’t pay immediately doesn’t mean those people won’t eventually become paying viewers. A non-viewer will never pay.

    I should also probably mention the last movie at a theater I went to see was ‘the boy and the heron’, and that was the last piece of movie media I’ve watched.















  • 2071: the third oddesy.

    I had heard good things about the first one and happened to just see this one in my high-school library. I had a book report due soon so I binged it.

    This is the single most boring Sci fi novel I’ve ever read. It goes on and on and on about the various technologies of the various vehicles of the future. The most exciting part is a flashback to a previous book in which a character kicks a plant, second most is a relatively relaxed flight through a comet.

    Normally I can plow through the couple hundred pages in a night, this one took me a bit longer because of how dry it was. There was a entire section on some kind of spinning windshield design used on boats to make sure visibility was always crystal clear.



  • Dogs. They’re the one animal I can actively get close to daily which depending on upbringing can either be very loving and sweet, or absolutely territorial monsters.

    When I was in high school there was one of those dogs, he’d bark lightly, or his front paws on the picket fence and wag his tail extra hard, which are normally signs of wanting to be pet, except if you got within petting range he’d go for a bite.

    Cat’s at least get away from you if they don’t want attention. I’ve learned more about dog body laungauge since high school, but I’ve also been bitten since then on just a random walk by (not going for a pet) just as the owner was saying it didn’t bite. It did.

    Though I suppose terrified it’s a bit much. Wary is more like it.
