I actually listen to Futurama to help me sleep. I’ve added some other shows I know just as well. They are in that genre of extraordinary media that I can watch/listen to/etc. over and over again.

The concept of rewatching a movie is almost foreign to me now given that I have access to a library of tens of thousands of movies. It would have to be very good and something that whoever I’m with hasn’t seen it.
Of course I used to watch the same movie about month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.

This is because people believe that faxes are “unhackable” because it’s just scanning a piece of paper and transmitting it to another machine that prints it out. They never think that you can photoshop a thing and then print it out and then fax it.
