It amazes me that I can half wake up in the middle of the night and still do an explosive 180 to face the other way.
I literally bounce an inch up off the mattress and torque myself to one side, then instantly fall asleep.

Did video piracy ever really falter?
Even semi popular movies and shows are always available in a range of qualities, going up to extremely high quality if you get on a private tracker.
Rarbg shutting down was the biggest hit imo, but still lots of options.
- Comment on Wonder drug: is the UK ready for the green rush of medicinal cannabis? 9 months ago:
I’m surprised there isn’t more of a general legalization push in the UK, I guess it’s in part because nobody actually cares.
I smell weed pretty much every time I leave the house. The police don’t seem to give a shit, and I see people smoking it outside all the time.

Such a truly bizarre crime for a president to pardon…
Just instant career suicide.

- Comment on Ofcom Investigate Virgin Media UK Over Digital Phone Migrations - ISPreview UK 9 months ago:
Not directly related, but they switched me from Virgin Mobile to O2 after their merger. Fucking nightmare, despite them telling me that I don’t need to do anything.
Broke the direct debit, they set me up with an account that will not accept a password even after a reset, then I ran out of data as the new service has different usage notifications that threw me off.
I shortly after cancelled the sim, and dreaming of the day I can switch ISP.

It’s probably not for tax reasons, but is 100% publicity. That’s all Taylor Swift™️ is.
She is essentially just a business that makes some decent commercial music, uses PR to develop a strong following and then monetizes the product.
I think her whole thing is fake and she just likes being the center of attention, not far off the Kardashians.

I know what you mean about AW1, the sequel is different mechanically and much more refined.
You still make use of the flashlight, but now it’s a bit more developed and for the most part it feels like a modern horror game.
You get a lot of tense situations where people are running at you and you have to hold them off with the flashlight and weapons.
I can’t really put the differences in to words, but it is just much better imo.

I started with Alan Wake 2, then went back to Control.
Both really great, unique games, and Remedy are now up there with FromSoftware for my most anticipated games.
Control was great, but they really hit another level with AW2 imo.

The word cringe is thrown about too much, but unironically posting anything with a picture of Joker is the definition of cringe.
- Comment on Stephen Fry wants King's Guard to ditch bear fur 10 months ago:
True, if it’s wasteful then move away from it, but then again maybe there does need to be intervention to maintain bear population anyway.

I’d like the monarchy abolished as well tbh, but their hats are towards the bottom of the list of reasons why.

“Tradition is never an excuse for cruelty,” says Mr Fry, who is narrating a video which shows undercover film of how black bears are killed.
A supporter of the animal welfare group made an undercover video which claims to show hunters putting down buckets of strongly-scented food as bait, and then shooting black bears with crossbow bolts when they approach.
This doesn’t exactly seem like a revelation to me, and I don’t know why you’d need undercover footage… how do you think they hunted bears?
Living their life in nature before being killed is about as good as it gets for animals. I thought they were gonna say they’re caged from birth or something.
Besides a POV of “killing any animal is wrong”, I don’t really see an issue. It appears to be regulated and as long as they’re maintaining the bear population appropriately why is it any different than hunting deer or killing a cow for leather?
I think it would be a good thing if they moved away from real bear fur for an alternative, but don’t see it as a real issue either way tbh.
