Breakfast on bed

I pirated Paddington 2 the other day then deleted it. If that wasn’t available I would have watched something else. I get what you’re saying, but I also don’t take it that seriously. I mean, I watched Paddington 2. I’m not exactly a movie buff.

To offer another perspective. I personally don’t care. If everyone cared about owning the media they consume then movie theaters and libraries wouldn’t exist. I grew up in the era of VHS and DVDs but I never had a collection because I rented them from Blockbuster. I also rented video games. I chose to pay for temporary access. Even today, when I pirate a movie and have a DRM free file I permanently own, I will delete the file after watching it. I don’t want it.

I get that the streaming/licensing trend sucks for people like yourself who like having a collection of physical media they own, but it honestly doesn’t bother me at all.

I was a funeral director. I talked to a lot of people about death and I can’t recall a single old person who wasn’t alright with dying.

The way some have explained it to me was basically the novelty of life was gone. When you’re young, everything you do is new. You experience things for the first time daily. As you get older, new experiences are far and few in between. Every day becomes a copy of the day before. Weeks pass where it seems nothing has happened, but its only that nothing new has happened. Old people eventually just get bored. Combine that with chronic pain, being unable to do basic things on your own anymore, and all your friends dying before you, and the idea of not waking up tomorrow doesn’t seem that bad.

It’s arguable, sure, but unnecessary. They have to prove beyond a doubt that his intentions were to threaten the government into making political changes. They could have just charged him with murder where they’d only need to prove he wanted to kill the guy. Both crimes would lead to life in prison, so why go for the one more difficult to prove? Ironically, I think it’s because the government wants to threaten the public.
