I'm strongly right handed if I think about what I'm doing. But if I absentmindedly reach for something my left hand has a weird tendency to volunteer. Like that's my autopilot default.

I've never worn a watch
I haven't worn a watch since the 80s. Had one of those square ones that transformed into a robot. Can't stand wearing anything on my wrists all day long.
every year there's articles about how younger generations are FLOCKING BACK TO PHYSICAL MEDIA and yet also every year sales of physical media decline even more
wow it's almost like these articles are complete bullshit and based on like 30 people in fuckin new york city or some jive who buy DVDs or some jive.

I know a lot of people who buy physical media, but they buy used at thrift shops, so maybe the numbers are skewed that way?
IDK about younger generations, but I prefer physical media. CDs, DVDs, or Blu Ray are my preferred formats, but i know several who collect and watch VHS. Streaming has its uses, but I've lived in some areas with pretty dire internet service and would never rely on it.

Videocassettes are fuckin garbage and were only good because it was the only format that was viable at the time for what people wanted to do (record TV shows).
There's literally zero point in buying anything on video nowadays unless you're actively digitizing and archiving jive that never made it to later formats or if you're watching something like a schlocky as all hell 80s horror movie on a CRT.
But knowing the prices of CRTs nowadays*, chances are more likely any weird 20 something hipster buying like $2 copies of movies on tape are watching that jive on some cheap VCR/DVD combo unit from 2004 they got at Goodwill for $20 hooked up to their damn modern 4K TV and it looks like absolute ass blown up and there's a non-zero chance it's stretched to widescreen too.
And I own two CRTs and two VCRs, I know what I'm talking about here.
*I periodically check FB Marketplace listings for CRTs, sorry but that TV you're listing as a 'CRT TV PERFECT TV FOR RETRO GAMING' that you want $100 is not worth $100, it is a crappy low-end cheap TV from 2002 that only has a coax input. I also punch the wall sometimes when I see people listing actually good TVs like I saw someone listing a 36 inch ProScan (RCA's higher-end consumer line meant to compete with Trinitron) TV that had S-Video for $75 and I punch the ******* wall when I saw this IT WAS NEAR WHERE MY SUMMER HOME IS IT WAS NOT NEAR ME IN WESTERN NEW YORK this suckssssssssssssss

I feel like I should be making a lewd joke, but I'm too tired right now.
Got four TFs in today and one of them is AOP Quickstrike, I had to undo the snake head to get the mouth to move, it was stuck, so undoing the screws solved the issue after taking the top of the head off to resolve the issue and then screwed it back together, the actual figure is pretty good, now I just need to make a bit of space on my Predacon zone
Mine was stiff at first too. Had to pry it open with a knife the first time. Now it moves fine.
...I have questions.
I'm not entirely sure that I should ask them, but I have them nonetheless.
