    Every time I think “hey I wanna watch that one movie again” it’s never on any of the streaming services I pay for. Even old ass movies like the godfather are missing and I’m asked to instead rent them. Fuck you, where’s my pirate flag??

      And since they move services so damn often it’s almost impossible to find an up-to-date list telling you where you can go to watch something!

      It took me 5 minutes to finally track down The Perfect Host. And it’s “available to rent” on Amazon? Fuck that entirely!

        I recommend the app “Just Watch”. Pump in whatever you wanna watch and it’ll tell you what services it’s available to stream on. If none, hoist the flag, amigo!

    This photo reminds me of the story of Jeanne Calment. At 90 years old, she signed a contract with a lawyer which stated he would inherit her apartment upon her death, but he would pay her 2,500 francs per month until the time came.

    Her lawyer died 30 years later, when Jeanne was 120. His family continued making payments to Jeanne until she finally died at 122 years old, by which time she had been paid more than double what her place was worth.
