Trying and failing at job hunting here, so a bit bummed out from that.

eyeballing a potential tornado outbreak on its way here, it probably will end up a sad wet fart of a nothing thunderstorm but you know, news guys gotta hype. sigh.

good luck with your search, anon. job hunts suck, they just get worse and worse by the year.

Horrible. Just had to buy a new car. Honda Accord 2016 for $21,000. My head is killing me now.

So, so tired all day so I've been napping on and off

so dehydrated but getting crap done anyway because I don't have much choice. I really wish my body was okay with swallowing fluids.

I feel you on the job hunting, nonny. Fingers crossed that we can both find jobs soon.

I'm worried about my dog. I took him to the vet for his annual shots and the vet said his lymph nodes were swollen. She didn't have a definitive answer for why and just said to bring him back if they're still swollen after three days, but I'm super worried it's gonna be something bad and/or something expensive to cure.

Sorry, nonny. Hope you get some great offers soon.

The place I work in is practically a greenhouse, and I always feel overheated there. I have an entirely non-desk job that keeps my hands busy, so my fan options are limited. I found a small fan I could wear around my neck but it doesn’t blow strongly enough to help. And I’ve recently learned that more than one of my meds (which I can’t work without) interferes with my body’s heat regulation. So I guess the answer is “hot”. My immediate supervisors sympathize, but they can’t do anything; the building is town property and the people at town hall would never tweak the temperature inside one public building for the comfort of one bottom-rung employee. At least nobody has a problem with me drinking water constantly on the job. I keep the bottle in the staff freezer overnight.

I totally feel you on the job hunt. It took me 5 years after graduating law school to finally find a job. I really hope you find something soon and that it is a good job.

Pretty good! I applied for a promotion at work at a different store and I'm a little scared about having done so. But all in all, it's been a pretty rad day.

still sick on the sofa. and my attention span is too short for watching or reading

Do you still buy them or no longer have a need for them?
Do you have a favorite one that you intend to hold on to or have you ever been disappointed by the content on it? (ie: like buying a dvd not seeing the movie/show before?)
Do you have something like a VHS tape as a form of merch or is streaming just more convenient by comparison?

I've not bought physical media in at least two years. Honestly, I probably won't buy anymore because I don't watch the ones I do have. If I want to watch The Lion King, I'll just use the Disney Plus account my sister has.

However, I do miss special features. Especially gag reels.

I don't really buy dvds any more, but I have a handful of movies and an anime collection from before 2016 with the exception of two series I got as a Christmas present since then.
I have to admit, as annoying as it can be when it takes up space - it's disappointing when you can't find a particular movie or your streaming service just gets rid of it without any warning; which is the main appeal of owning a copy of anything you'd like to rewatch again in the future.

I have a nice DVD library of lots of my favorite TV shows and movies that I would never want to give up.

I don't buy new physical media anymore but I have saved the old ones for their extra material, like Futurama DVDs for the commentaries and Lord of the Rings extended set for all the bts stuff.

I've kept all the stuff I bought before but when it comes to adding new stuff I'm a lot pickier. There's only been one show I've liked enough to buy in the last few years and there's only a handful of music artists whose physical work I still buy.

When it comes to video games, though, I buy the physical copy. IDEK. I just do.

I think I have like... 500ish discs between movies and TV series. With the advent of streaming I've definitely been pickier adding to my collection (usually DW or other stuff where I can't watch without subscribing to a whole new channel).

I also still buy CDs for imports and stuff (j-rock etc) that don't show up on Spotify or Apple Music.

I still buy DVDs, yeah, because I like having physical copies of shows I like. Sometimes streaming sites will pull shows, or they'll stop airing the reruns on some channel, or whatever. So if that happens, well, at least now I have the DVDs there for me to watch anytime I want.

I have a bit of a hard time getting used to streaming. I still like watching stuff on a regular TV channel, with a set time and a set schedule, and I find it easier to do rewatches that way, too. I can just go into the DVR and watch back any episodes I saved, I don't have to go to a site and sign in and go to this page and whatnot to find the show and everything, and I don't have to sign up for anything just to watch something. I'll do streaming if a show I like is exclusively on a streaming service and I really want to watch it, but if I can watch the show on a TV network, I will, and I prefer it that way.

I don't have a ton, but I do still buy DVDs and Blu-Rays because I don't want to subscribe to all the streaming services, and I can never keep track of what movies are on each service. (Like, if I wanted to watch Amelie right now, where is it? Hulu? Netflix? Amazon? IDK, man.)

I would never buy a non-hard copy of anything unless it was the only option, honestly. Seen too many people get burned when something gets removed from a service, or their console/computer died, or their account got hacked. If there's any chance of me seeing a movie/playing a game more than once, I want to make sure I will be able to access it even years down the road. I might stream something once to see if it's something I want to buy, if the fee is lower than buying a hard copy.

I absolutely still buy DvD's of media I love or I know I'll want to rewatch so I can do so whenever I want. Streaming services are fine for me to watch something once or the first time, but I don't rely on them to keep the shows/movies on their service so I'll always buy a physical copy if I know I want to watch it many times again in the future.

I don't buy them unless it's a show or movie that I love enough that I know I'll want to watch it multiple times. 99% of the stuff I watch, I watch once and that's it. I don't tend to come back to things unless I really, really love them because I would rather put my media time into watching new things that I haven't seen yet.

I've bought exactly two things on DVD in the past five years. One of those was a TV show that I've watched four times already so I knew it was worth it to purchase, and the other was a movie that I wanted the DVD of for all of the bonus features that were included. Aside from that? Streaming all the way.
