    Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.

    In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There’s a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.

    I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it’s a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it’s a lot of fun.

    Yeah, the ISP cartels sucks. I’ve been stuck paying $170/mo for uncapped 1000/35mbps connection.

    Thankfully, before the end of the year, a local ISP is moving into my area. They offer uncapped symmetrical gigabit, for $75/mo… I’ll be saving $95/mo for BETTER service.

    The longstanding ISP cartels should seriously be punished for the abuse of their market positions and failure to appropriately use government funding they’ve been given.

    I mean, it’s still another pretty big company, but the Shopify “Shop” app is actually pretty great as an alternative to Amazon.

    Basically, all the businesses using a Shopify online storefront are amalgamated and searchable in one app, and the UI is pretty solid, too. I really like that a business can have their own website with a storefront, but also be there for convenience and still be in the same system.

    I know I’m an outlier here, but I really enjoyed the movie. The CGI wasn’t perfect, but I don’t care. There’s so much CGI in the movie, some was bound to be shite. It’s WB after all, what haven’t they fucked up in recent years? I think the bigger problem is the association with Ezra Miller and this version of Flash being pretty childish and weird.

    But I love a good Flashpoint story, and I’m excited about Gunn’s DC.

    The $160 is a lifetime pass… I pay $20/mo for Netflix. That’s $240/year. So, if you think it’s worth it for even one year, compared to something like Netflix, then it’s a pretty solid value proposition.

    I bought the lifetime pass in 2014 when it was $75. Been more than happy with that decision.

    Honestly, it seems what Reddit has been doing lately is far worse than anything Digg ever did. 🤷‍♂️ Digg basically just made a bunch of bad design decisions primarily but not entirely to please investors, and the majority of changes were not welcomed by the community.

    Reddit is straight up disrespecting their userbase and telling them to suck a fat one and deal with it, holding to their miserable decisions while openly suggesting their userbase is too weak to go anywhere else… And also doing so primarily to please misguided investors.
