  • It’s a surprisingly useless skill in the modern day if you have a digital watch. Most people just use their phone or a smart watch and those show time with plain digits so there’s no interpretation. I forgot how to read an analogue clock face for the longest time, bought a classic watch recently and have picked up the skill again but if I didn’t then I’d never use it and I’d forget it again. Despite what some people think not all skills are unforgettable, it’s just a matter of how useful it is day to day over a long period.





  • I’m still amazed judges are so clearly divided into groups. I consider being a judge to require a degree of impartiality and authority that anyone clearly identifying as democratic or republican should be disqualified for. Democratic perhaps not since their more centric than left leaning or far left :/. Point being the one occupation that mandates impartiality is highly politicised. Of course everything is f*cked. The rule of law is not dictated by the majority or enforced by the trustworthy.




  • Honestly, too much content not enough time. That and I think a lot of what’s available now isn’t as good as it used to be (I realise that’s probably nostalgia more than anything else). I read manga a lot more now. I find it easier to do, and it generally gets to the point a lot quicker than anime. There’s also a lot more great manga than there is great anime simply because it’s cheaper to make and distribute and less prone to padding things out to reach a predefined length. Vagabond for example would be the best anime ever… if any studio could adapt it. I watch more western live action stuff, it’s cookie cutter at times but easier to consume while focusing on other things (since it’s English, Japanese anime I need to actively focus on subs (I wont dignify dubbed with a mention XD)). I used to watch j-dramas but dropped that now as well as I find it hard to find stuff that interests me. I’ve watched a couple k-dramas just cause I find them a refreshing change of pace.

    I will say now I’m an adult its really hard to find the time to just stop and watch things. I legit miss burning through all my afternoons watching naruto and the chunin exam or the pain arc. That sh*t defined my childhood and I’ll always love it, even if I’m not liable to do it again soon.









  • I’d say just sell it. I think the thought that you’re selling means someone else is losing is the issue here, you’re not convincing anyone to buy. you’re not spreading"the scam". If that person wants to buy bitcoin their gonna do it with or without your selling. May as well give them what they want and benefit yourself intern. I have this same sorta gripe with epic games weekly free giveaway on Thursdays. I know it’s just to harvest data, I know I’m never gonna buy anything on EGS, I know some poor schmuck is compensating for my free game by buying microtransactiojs on fortnight. But end of the day it’s free games and me not buying it ain’t exactly gonna stop epic doing all that other sh*t they use to make them available. Take what you can. It’ll be better for your mental health to not anguish over what to do.
