Porn isn't angry, hahaaha.  Neither is online shopping, of which I'm doing more of since I don't want to hang out in a hospital.  I would add fantasy sports as a benefit but that is going down the toilet for the moment.

But it is what you make of it.  Don't be an asshole, don't let assholes get you upset, everything goes pretty smoothly.  The anonymity and distance convinces closet assholes to reveal themselves, allowing you to remove them from the give a shit list.  I see that as a positive, less people to be concerned about, I had my doubts about that guy but now they are confirmed, etc.

Agreed. I'm not even on Facebook (or Twitter or Instagram) just to avoid that crap. I have my friends' phone numbers and email addresses, I don't want to have that "Why didn't you friend me, are we not friends?" conversation. Once you get past like the 20-50 real friends and close relatives you know, the rest are just people who will probably take something you say the wrong way because they don't actually know you well. It also avoids stupid politics and religion...

Maybe you're looking at it backwards, maybe CRTs sitting out in the elements cause rainstorms, much like freshly washed cars.

Assuming the remastering doesn't brickwall the songs I see no problem with remasters. Remixes are rare and, as you say, an abomination if the original mixes aren't also included. The 25th Anniv. version of Slide It In from Whitesnake is a good example of how to do it right, US and UK versions together.
