  • Same. I bought the lifetime pass on sale many years ago, my setup is still working fine without me having to have touched it for at least the past 3 years outside of applying an update from time to time. I don’t stream their free shows or movies and have those setup so that they don’t even show up as an option on my tv.

    Do I wish it was still the same company it was a decade ago? Of course… but so far they haven’t impacted my experience to the point that I feel the need to replace it with something else. The second that happens I will be spinning up Jellyfin.





  • Once I flew to a city that’s about 6 hours away by car. Work was paying for it, and I figured it would be easier and less stressful to fly than to drive. A coworker drove instead. He left 2 hours after I left for the airport. After my plane arrived they were cleaning it out and one of the attendants hit his head and had to go to the hospital for stitches. I scrambled and was able to get on to another flight, although it took me about 2 hours into the opposite direction, where I then had to sprint from one end of the airport to the other. When I finally landed in my destination city my coworker had been there for over an hour. There was nothing easier or less stressful about that day.

    That said, that was my worst experience flying, usually it is very easy - especially if I’m traveling by myself.

    I would think that most people, given 1000 years to grow, would come out of the experience changed for the better. There’s nothing saying that the 1000 year sentence would be torture, it could be 200 years of showing you the consequences of your actions as they had been, and then 800 years showing how to be a better person.

    The real torture would be getting pulled out and realizing that while you’ve lived 1000 years, you’re now in your 20s again and everyone around you is much less mature than you are.
