    For as long as video is distributed (digital or physical) there will be someone that will pirate it. Kids used to sell bootleg movies on VHS, later on VCD’s, and finally DVD’s, where I lived.

    There is no possible way that digital piracy can be stopped. This slippery slope, leading all the way to only being able to access whitelisted websites, is not based in reality. The fascists will try anything they can to control speech at that level, but the people are crafty. We’ll find ways around everything they try to throw at us. Attempting to lock the internet down to that extent will unite all sorts of very smart people.









  • If you stay still, you get left behind. I don’t expect someone to hold my hand, maintaining a friendship. But man, it would be so nice for my “best friend” to reach out like she used to. I said I didn’t want to drink with her friends anymore, and apparently that meant I didn’t want to hang out with her anymore. I’ve tried a couple of times to initiate a meetup for us, she just does not seem interested in that anymore. Whatever.

    The lesson is that people let you down. You listen and help them get through their difficult periods in life, but then can be forgotten when something better comes along.
