Well there is the problem of less than half the usual amount of showtimes for a new film because they have to show it in 2D and 3D. I remember going to see Dark Knight Rises and it was so fucking refreshing to have a showing every half hour instead of like four 2D showings in a day.

I would like to auto-block websites like buzzfeed that predominantly feature listicles.

I never understood how the fuck Iron Man's jet boots are supposed to work. They're clearly rocket motors, but somehow powered by his arc reactor which afaik just produces a lot of electric power? Unless he's invented the most badass ion drive units ever it makes completely no sense.

"Oh waaah I live up a country lane that's 10 miles away from the nearest house and I can't get fibre optic, woe is me" If you want good broadband move to a city. I live in Bristol and i'm pretty happy with my BT Infinity service, I get about 75 down/25 up unlimited for like £25 a month.

It sucks in corner shops or whatever that have crap connections, but it's pretty nice in chains or supermarkets. I go in my local Tescos and it's way quicker to use my card than trying to fiddle with cash. It validates my pin basically instantly.

I've never really understood the whole billionaire philanthropist thing. Instead of being a ruthless anti-competition asshole while making your billions, couldn't you have been slightly less of a dick, made a little less money and then not have to spend your retirement years trying to clear your name with charity stuff? Why not just be a decent human being in the first place?

Skipping is actually a quite efficient and speedy way to cover ground. You do feel a little silly doing it as an adult male though :D

People still buy CDs? What is this, the middle ages? Good lord.

Honestly I find my Kindle pretty great. I live in a fairly small flat and i'm out of room for books unless I want to have piles of them stacked on the floor. I've just bought the latest Wheel of Time book in hardback because the Kindle version isn't out till April, going back to a huge heavy awkward thing like that is going to be such a pain after the ease of reading on the Kindle. Honestly digitalisation is pretty great, yeah it's neat to go down the charity shop and pick up some random old paperbacks for a couple quid, but you just can't beat the convenience of downloading and reading something instantly.

Americans talking about fuel prices and mileage, hilarious. You do realise the reason all your cars are enormous and get shit mileage is because there is no incentive for manufacturers to do otherwise? If you taxed your fuel at anything beyond negligible rates then maybe people would be more inclined to get smaller and more fuel-efficient cars. Yes yes, I know America is a big place and you need to drive long distances blah blah. Two things, nobody forced you to spread out over the entire continent, and nobody forced you to sprawl your towns across miles and miles of suburbs. "Hey let's build all our towns based on the automobile whose fuel prices will clearly never ever rise from these 1950s prices" derp

A newspaper (that depends on people reading it and it's website) punishing people for reading it or discussing it's stories via the internet and links. I can't see any flaws in this plan.

The page you're looking for has been blocked. We're complying with a court order that means access to this website has to be blocked to protect against copyright infringement. So basically it's a court order. An ISP issued with a court order can't really do anything except obey it, so blame the courts not the ISPs. I'm on Be Broadband which is a subsidiary of 02.
