Well, everything according to your own personal comfort-level with stuff, of course. Some people hate having a lot of stuff, and some people get itchy looking at blank empty walls.

Haha It really was stressful. When show ran long and you didn’t know/remember, so you have to scramble to catch the last bit after the vcr stops recording. Or you accidentally record over something you didn’t see yet or wanted to save.

There’s a website that specifically collects old VHS tapes for the vintage commercials!

Oh god, the memories of working at Blockbuster when this came out and the nightmare of nobody EVER RETURNING BOTH TAPES AT THE SAME TIME.

Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers) gave testimony in Sony v. Universal that was key to Sony winning, and home recording being allowed. He testified that the VCR could be a useful tool for parents to record his show, and watch it later. Universal had argued that there was no legitimate use and that people would record shows so…

I suppose you’ll be telling me that Blockbuster will be ending soon as well.

Also I am pretty sure that not every job at Facebook requires you to be a computer wiz. Marketing, HR, Sales, Ad Ops etc. So I call bullshit on this “minorities don’t know computer tech” as an excuse. Hell I work in Ad Ops for a very big company now (I am black) and in school I didn’t even know a position like mine…

I’m exhausted just thinking about how much energy is expended on controlling people to that degree. I guess I’m not cut out to be a cult leader.

Duuude, chill. Pixar has made 17 movies and has 4 known in the pipeline. Of these 21 movies in total, 8 are sequels. Sequels are not inherently evil, and there is no evidence that Pixar isn’t planning to continue releasing original content just because their sequels do well financially. Inside Out came out last year…

Remember: Don’t buy tropical fish for pets just because you saw pretty colours on a screen.

People managed to go to live events for decades without phones. They’ll live.

I swear to god, there should be penalties for people whose guns are used by family members to commit crimes, and no one under 18 should be allowed to handle one.

We’ve known this for a while.

I’m trying really hard to keep my inner Lewis Black caged but, you know, the thing about serial rapists is that actually testing the motherfucking kits would help to catch and convict them and would lead to fewer rapes!

I saw a show once where the detective mentioned to his partner how he could learn so much about a murder victim by looking at the titles of the books on his shelf. Ever since then, I’ve made sure to maintain a carefully selected assortment of books in my bookcase just in case I get murdered. I want the cops to think I…

Philatelic Geekery Moment: It's actually called a souvenir sheet, not a stamp sheet. A "sheet" of stamps is just a row-upon-row of single stamps. A souvenir sheet is more like a fancy print with stamp-shaped cutouts in it.

I’m 32 and I’m a writer and editor. I want to be like I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS GIRL BUT YOU NEED TO SEE THE WORLD BEFORE YOU CAN BE WEARY OF IT.

“The two princes in the tower? Ah, yes, King Richard asked my ancestor to hold onto them. Their skeltons should be in the attic somewhere. I hadn’t realized anyone was looking for them.”

At first I was really impressed but then I Google Image searched Mount Stuart and I’m just not surprised by this story anymore. I also expect that house to contain the first verifiable True Cross Relic and the Arrow of Apollo.
