Grave of the Fireflies was such an amazing movie, but yes, profoundly saddening. A beautifully coloured picture, one that so easily seems to encapsulate both everything that’s best about human beings, whilst simultaneously also conveying everything that’s wrong with our species.

I’d love to watch it though again, but every time I’ve tried, I’ve not been able to because what kept me going through the first viewing, i.e. hope for both of them, just isn’t there anymoe because we all know how it will end for them both.

One of the most viscerally tragic movies I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them.

Here’s me 29 days late to the post:

Thankfully, the car fumes give me plenty of euphoria

Chuckles… if Trump is recommending someone, they must be a solid candidate for the role

And the defectors

Very dapper indeed

“Do as I say, not as I do”

Having to pay more, for a product stripped of features (which is the good part), really is quite laughable.

Any other reason, then their policies sucking

Agreed, at this point, they’re capitalising as much as they can off of their reputation.

Consumers had all the power… that is, until they started voting with their wallet by buying appliances that could connect to the internet (or that had a screen installed on them).

Once manufacturs saw that their bs was selling, we’d lost the battle.

This may be so, but personally, I’d rather loose the $ value in the fridge, once, due to a compressor failure than to have the data of how I interact with it and bloody advertising thrust into my face, over the span of its working life.

A little pain later is worth so much more than 10 years or so of annoyance.

Don’t be lazy, enlightenment is more than half the battle, done for you.

Yes, something exactly like that, thank you for the link, I wonder why this idea hasn’t been replicated more around the world.

I’ll take a read today, maybe I’ll find out why this is so.

Teal?

Gross, thanks for being such a turn-off!

Genital function, in the current economic climate?

Doesn’t anyone know about one-way valves that are weighted and can be giggled, to draw fuel out? They’ve been around for decades.

BS

I’m curious, I wonder why something like a large magnifying glass, hasn’t been used to heat up something like a special metal/material or even oil or something, which can somehow be turned into storable energy for the grid 🤷‍♂️

Other than solar panels? Consumers have to pay for their implementation, with power sold to the grid at such a low rate these days, that for single occupier dwellings, they’re not worth it financially.
