    It will all be part of the movie they make about my life and Vintage drafting when AI takes over.

      Thanks, I really need to read more. I still need to read a Naomi Klein book you recommended like 5 or 10 years ago.

        I check her twitter occasionally, i think she is in Vancouver BC, or at least interested in British Columbia. Not far from the Slasher's abode

          I read that book on my honeymoon because I am a fucking masochist, apparently. That book was, uh, discouraging to say the least.

            • I read way too much. I'm like an addict. Sometimes I sneak off to the bathroom so I can read without anyone bothering me.

                        We got my daughter a kindle like 10 years ago, now it just sits there, battery drained. Temple Run was great while it lasted though

                          Given your politics, I'm surprised you would support anything Amazon does.

                            Not being a smart ass, but I like Gmail also. But Google is pretty scary. What a world we live in

                              I saw an amazing chart the other day about advertising dollars. It showed newspapers vs. facebook and google. I probably dont even need to post it for everyone to know what it looks like

                                Yeah, I was just using "Kindle" in place of "e-reader". I just meant that it's incredible to be able to hold 100+ books in your hand.

                                Edit: Of course, someone like me with big hands - the biggest hands - could easily hold 100 books if I really wanted to. Probably more. Some people say all aspiring book holders look up to me. I graduated at the top of my class in book holding skewl.
