Libraries have EVERYTHING and I find it utterly fascinating. Recently, I got an Apple USB Superdrive which allows me to upload my CDs and play DVDs on my Macbook and it has changed my life. Whenever I come across a movie I want to see, I just check it out of my local library and watch it on my laptop. It provides me with the nostalgia of watching movies on DVD as a kid, and you also get all the additional bonuses that come with the disc as well, like interviews and behind-the-scenes.

call me old fashioned, but i am deep in my library era. i’ve been borrowing e-books and audiobooks for years, but with the recent purchase of a secondhand DVD player, i’m now catching up on all the movies i missed or have long wanted to see by borrowing them from the library. taking it a step further, i’m building my post-Spotify music library by borrowing and burning, adding new tracks to my iPod.
bonus: talking with my librarian about some of the movies he likes that i’m checking out (we both loved “Days of Heaven”).

Changed my life. Can pull up a digital version of any book I'm reading anywhere (like on my laptop in class😈) completely free. Free audiobooks. Upped my literary consumption by at least 75%. Lots of TV and movies too. Unsubscribe from your streaming service. Save $15. Get a library card.

Be that film, TV, books, games, music, or anything else it's wonderful being able to pull out an obscure lost film and see all the extras or even an alternative cut not available in modern editions or streaming versions.
Also having it on disk is a more reliable thing for stable quality

I’m tired of thinking. No more thinking in 2025. Simply monkey business from now on.

I try to eat one a day. You know what they say, a hot dog a day keeps the gyno away.
