Neither, what's the point of bringing back a company that clearly cannot compete given modern advances?

Also, what was Hastings?

"Hastings Entertainment was a U.S. retail chain that sold books, movies, music, and video games and functioned as a video rental shop"

@socajunkie:

Well there are some cases where going back to something is better like values for instance but generally if technology progresses and makes things more efficient, that’s a positive thing.

Not really because it's always a trade off. There is usually always something bad that comes with the good but people usually ignore that. Look at social media it was suppose to be such a great thing to bring people together around the world yet it's causing just as much problems and driven us apart community. We as a people don't have balance in our advancements. It just moves forward regardless of the consequences. That's not even getting into the threats that new tech creates. I'm going to shift my point a bit. Just look how dependent we are on tech. We'd suddenly be screwed if something happened. Don't even get me started on the subject of the weapons race.

It would but people also work behind streaming services.

Not as much and not for those who don't or can't get the skills. That is just one among many fields it's happening too. With each advancements and streamlining jobs get harder, more focused to less people, and rarer.

That’s really weak lol, we’re talking about going out to rent a film,

No it's not and no we're not. I specifically told you my comment was in general on the idea of moving forward and not blockbuster specific. Blockbuster isn't even needed.

the brief interaction being talking to the dude who’s behind the counter, it isn’t some great social loss if you don’t interact with them.

It is when you realize things like malls which are going out of business another drop in the bucket of many areas it's happening where we as a people are isolating our self.

-----

Chill out. I'm not trying to debate or prove you wrong here. I'm just doing some musing.

Edit: I forget did I mention social media? Something that was suppose to be good but how destructive that's become?

It was intended for spreading the truth, open us to new points of view but connecting people together around the world.

Now it's an avenue to spread falsehood, isolating us to specific groups of like thinkers, isolated us from our families and communities.

People thought it would help us against those from up top, now it's another way to control us.

Also at the same time of isolating us it also doesn't give us breathing room if that makes sense.

I'm not saying advancements are bad. I'm just saying it's not inherently good or bad. It's a tradeoff for one set of problems for another. I believe while some are happier with them there are others that even if they don't know it would actually be happier without many of them.

@socajunkie: Though I'm sure there are some who could think of reasons for it, I wasn't talking about blockbuster specifically but in general the idea of going backwards with things in society.

Though if you put a gun to my head to think of something from the top of it, I guess I could say more jobs but that might be too easy. It seems streamlining and efficiency has some negative effects to go along with the good. Not only jobs but isolating people from having to go out into the world and interacting.

@socajunkie: Forwards is not always a good thing. There are many things where it would be better to go backwards. Of course people will disagree what things we should turn back but I wouldn't say going back is synonymous with shouldn't or forward a should.

Saw that awhile ago. It's pretty much being ignored and downplayed.

@vance_astro:

Why do people always pop up responding to things I said years ago without quoting me, like I even know what they are talking about?

oh I hate when that happens. I can't stand when it happens week or months let alone years. Even if I knew what it was they were referencing just let that shit die.

@kasya_carey: Well at least your interpretations and equating is consist when being bad. I expect nothing less from someone who insists on pretending Storm would win.

@slimj87d: We don't have swimming instincts. Humans are shitty swimmers who need to learn the proper techniques. Throw a kid in deep water without teaching him how to swim and his ass will drown. Throw a dog that's never swam before and it probably swim like a pro.

https://28dayslater.wikia.com/wiki/Infected_Child

  • Just before Jim kills the Infected Child, the child hissed "I hate you!" at him, despite the Child's mouth not moving to match the words. Danny Boyle confirmed that the child speaking in this scene was due to an audio error, and in the 28 Days Later comics, it was implied by Gordon and Luis Rodriguez that Infected cannot talk.

Don't babies know how to swim naturally ?

What are you, throwing little kids in rivers or something?

Doesn't everyone? They're annoying..

When did I say anything about easy or hard? It's one thing to pretend Storm will win it's another to pretend we had conversations we didn't. I know I OKed former but I didn't ok the latter.
