What book(s) has changed your life?
  • The Courage to be Disliked.

    It’s a look at Adlerian psychology through the format of a conversation. I’ve looked deeper into Adler and don’t agree with some but the book changed the way I think about a lot of things.

  • TV and movies is a lot of word of mouth for me. If I hear about something that might be interesting I’ll look more into it.

    I watch anime and a lot of the suggestions come from forums or online word of mouth.

    Videos from YouTube and Nebula play into suggestions as well.

    For music it’s pretty wild. Because I’m open to a lot of things I’ll take any source. I read a few blogs, visit a few forums, watch videos, work from ratings lists or even pick it up from being used in things. Discovered a new band this morning based on looking at upcoming gigs in my area for example.

  • I’ve fallen victim to this a few times. Fox didn’t have the rights to the recent Ashes series so they just played replays of old series. Walking past it was easy to be deceived if the venue hadn’t switched over to 7.

    It was only when I came back and the score didn’t make sense that I picked up on it.

  • If I’m retaining knowledge I’ll go early 60s in Japan. Have fun and get rich in the miracle economy and protect myself from the bubble bursting in the early 90s. Then I’m loaded and living in a great place.

  • I got a machine to set up as a media server and it had Windows preloaded. I’m a Windows user primarily and after an hour I got the shits and installed Mint. Command line installing is so much simpler.

  • They’re pretty dangerous if you’re walking or riding around near them. I’d like to see some sort of action from government to get rid of them.

    I’m not fond of the birds either but they can stay.

    What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon?
  • That’s oddly specific.

    I would think for it to work properly there would need to be some sort of trust rating. I’ve used other (admittedly not federated) aggregator marketplaces and never had an issue. Not saying issues don’t happen, but they’re not guaranteed. You’d still get your standard PayPal or credit card protections if you used them.

    Any anime songs that sound like western music?
  • It’s not anime but one of the seasons of the Japanese reality show Terrace House used The New Romantics by Taylor Swift which was a bonus track for 1989 Deluxe.

    It didn’t make it to the global release of the show due to licensing.
