people pirate most stuff when they're broke as shit and buy all they can when they're not, except for all the shit you can't see without piracy 'cause no one sells it. people pay when they have the cash and, increasingly, they have no cash. blame The End Of Mass Prosperity In The Imperial Core.
piracy discourse is so exhausting and passe, but i will observe that every truly great collector of physical media I know has a big harddrive of pirated books and movies. you literally cannot have one without the other

Everyone has something that makes them special. Your grandfather was a fearsome warrior born with an innate knack for dual-wielding crossbows. Your mother has the gift of blue magic. And you, of course, have that +1 to Laundry that we appreciate so much.

Hey everyone, I've enjoyed joking around with you all for these past six years. Do you I mind if I invite my weirdly hostile friend with a completely incompatible sense of humor into the group chat to ruin everything?

Me feeing myself one white wine spritzer deep into the function: Super automatic and I'm acting hydrostatic like a wizard in a blizzard and I'm gonna get erratic Army sniper talking into walkie talkie: I can't take the shot, sir! She's getting too lyrical at the function!

If we're going director auteur mode as President, I'm pooling the nation's resources to shoot my avant garde adaptation of The Turn of the Screw. If not, I'm forcing them to make What's Up, Doc? again so I can see it more
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.
