Not who you asked but I hook up mine to a PC meant for streaming, there’s no need for it to be smart with either browser or applications that stream the content. Unless I’m missing something.

It’s not a need as much as a preference to not want every device need a connection if you have other means to handle the tasks. Also less bandwidth used since they don’t send back random data to headquarters, not that I imagine it’s a lot.

After listening to the book a half dozen times or so, I came to the thought it’s like poetry in novel form, the prose can be beautiful and horrid in emotions. Case is high as often as he can and he’s the lens we see most things through so everything is a bit surreal. So I’m guessing that’s agreeing with you calling it an art house novel it that’s close to what you meant.

It’s one of my favourite novels of all time, I only wish I read it when it was newer, only got it like 10 years ago and I was prime age to read it in the 90s. Oh well,glad I got around to it.

Often I really do while playing games. Sometimes I love a good intricate or full of social commentary games, other times I just want to move my mouse and watch things die when I press a button. Though it has to look pretty at the very least if it’s the latter type.

Somehow I didn’t watch Airplane! Until I was an adult but I loooooved Naked Gun and other similar spoof movies (I used to be able to recite the Spaceballs movie from memory for the most part, always paired Naked Gun type comedy with Mel Brooks in my head) growing up. So it’s sad that a director that managed to film such hilarious scenes that are by much artistic merit silly and stupid. I love silly and stupid so I’m sadder today. I hope he can direct some being in the afterlife to perform some comedy.

Always remember even if it’s stupid and makes you laugh, at least it made you laugh and few things are better than a good laugh.

I haven’t bought a PC gamefrom them in years, though I still occasionally buy their RPG book bundles.

Maybe if we push out that cars produce chem trails they’ll drive less. Oh technically breathing does too… won’t want to do much of that if you’re against them.

Hah the team behind the guy running who says he’s a billionaire, backed by the other billionaire, is complaining that Democrats have all the money in the race. Like are you wealthy or not? (I’m pretty sure that’s obvious at this point) Is there a personal limit a person can spend on their own campaign? If so I take back half the laughs till later.

Every accusation… etc etc. I’m sure the being that pretends to be a human as Cruz is just melding into the Republican patterns.

If you can’t beat 'em, swallow them.

Maybe he shouldn’t have raged so much to wear them out faster. Being calm all the time (from his theory) could’ve easily extended his life a decade or two. Mean it’s probably not a lot of energy at a time but he’s always raging at something it must be draining.

Trump has said he’s never had anything to ask God for forgiveness about (something very similar if not that), he pushed his lies with a hurricane and drew a sharpie on a map to show he was correct (he wasn’t) and I’m pretty sure that’s all it took to get him on board to dissolve that federal service.

Just recently he was given an award in Michigan where he previously claimed he was awarded Michigan man of the year, I’m sure his narcissism was behind that so he can say he won an award from there.

While president there was a press event at four seasons total landscaping because Trump said there was a press conference at the’ four seasons’ (during the pandemic of all times).

How anyone can think someone who can’t admit any fault is a leader is beyond me. Sure he tells people it’s okay to be a racist asshole but do you want to march into Marianas Trench because he thought that’s where the front line is?

They were probably spread it on right wing sites to reinforce to those voters they shouldn’t vote for the Dems, just in case they were thinking ‘maybe I shouldn’t vote for the asshole that acts like a toddler and fucked up a pandemic response when there was a good plan?’ Nope next vp has abuse claims so you can’t vote for them, and they are all happy with being angry anyways so it’s a win.

Ugh I hate how much it seems plausible, it’s like a badly written movie plot that no one would think could happen if it was the 90s, even early 00s.
