       @ajroach42 an original Game Boy feels so good on my huge adult hands. I recently had a Game Boy Color in my hands and it felt so tiny, I cannot envision myself playing on one anymore.

       On another note, why is #Netflix image quality getting worse and worse every time I open the app? Like, I don't even think they're serving me 720p anymore. I could get any series/movie from a torrent with better quality any day.

       @ajroach42 that handheld looks fantastic!Question, are the joysticks easy to use? It seems to me they're in a rather odd position.

       I recently read 1984 and now I'm depressed, not because I think we are living in the world imagined by George Orwell, but because, in some ways, we are living in a far more authoritarian world than the author could ever imagine.

       The main character in 1984 — I think his last name was Smith, I tend to forget these things — when he first meets Julia his first thought is literally "I wish to rape her," and in their first sexual encounter he casually confesses it to her like it was nothing.I cannot see this as anything but some kind of personal perversion on George Orwell's part and I have my reasons why...

       Stephen King says that a writer must write what is true for a given character, not what he personally thinks it's right.But the main character in 1984 was an intellectual, he was smart enough to see through the party's propaganda. Sexually assaulting another person is NOT the kind of thought an intellectual man casually has, and if he ever does — because the mind can be pretty sick sometimes — he wouldn't proudly confess it.

       In another scene, before they begin their romantic affair, he runs into her outside of work and starts suspecting he is being followed. His thought here is picking a rock and smashing her head open. This is true to his character because he is being paranoid, he doesn't know who is or is not part of the Thought Police. This is the kind of thought someone being persecuted for political reasons might have, sexually assaulting someone is NOT.

       Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this: I think 1984 is a good novel. There's a point when it turns into a non-fiction essay that I didn't enjoy much but it's OK. What is not OK, I didn't like, and serves no purpose — literally, no fuckin' one — is this projection of what might be the author's own sexual perversion. It's disgusting.

       If you don't feel like reading a 90,000 words novel you can always watch this 8 second clip from SpongeBob SquarePants and get the gist of it.

       @davidrevoy so, the crows are a bunch of easily offended snowflakes?
