You want to watch a TV show from your youth so you check a streaming service, but it is not there, so you check a second streaming service but it is not there, so you check a third streaming service and it is not there. You search for it on Blu-ray but it doesn’t exist, so you search for it on DVD but it is out of print. You find a seller on eBay who has it, but the listing reads ambiguous as to whether it is the real thing or a burnt copy. You message the seller and they reply with an automated response thanking you for your interest.

There was a lot I never got to explore here. It was cool watching everyone else though. Maybe someday I'll open up like that too.

I need a new laptop. My current laptop sucked even when the battery life was decent. I need a laptop that can run Unity and FL Studio and Adobe suite well. I think a new laptop will help me make more stuff, like fun video game music or autobiographical cartoons or maybe even a video game eventually. Please help me buy a new laptop!
Despite delays in the date of their union election and efforts by Penn to challenge voters (there appear to be over 400 challenged ballots in this election that weren't counted), the University of Pennsylvania's graduate students are the latest big win in that space. Congratulations!
It's human to want to simplify a complicated situation. It's human to want to believe that people who are more ethical, or more attractive, must be more talented. From where I'm sitting, these are completely disconnected variables. (If there are studies correlating them, I'm unaware of them.) But when an artist people like turns out to be a bad person, it seems like it's easier to decide their art was bad all along than to accept the broader idea that terrible people can make excellent art.
Conflating everything about a person into a single "I like them" or "I don't like them" variable makes it harder to accept that a talented, attractive person who knows all the right gender words, can still be a bad person. It makes you more likely to, if someone made art you dislike, to look for reasons to believe that they're a bad person too. It makes it difficult to accept that a bad person can still do good things, or that a broadly good person (like you, perhaps) can do bad things.
It is crucial to recognize your own capacity to do evil, or you'll never recognize when you do it and never learn to do better.
For the record, though, I never cared for Harry Potter. Just, speaking personally, y'know, never really liked it. Just sayin'.
