I've seen the first season of the regular tv series and i'm still kinda working through the 2nd season.I realized a bit late that this was the third season, so I'll be watching it then going back to the first. Although the first two don't seem as promising as this one, I may have my expectations set too high for them.

I fell in love with Toothless and I couldn't stop thinking sbout Ippy every time Toothless was on the screen, lol.If you really liked that, you should watch the TV series Race to the Edge. It's a really fun, yet dark addition to the Dreamworks HTTYD franchise, and it's amazing. Netflix is the best way, but there's probably other ways to see it. I would love to be able to discuss it with someone else.

Off Topic / Re: "Slender Man stabbing" girls face adult court
« on: August 10, 2015, 10:43:28 PM »why should we let them get away with attempted murder with a measly 5 years
In my opinion, it seems like a lot of people tend to think there are no such things as human criminals. Is the solution to every crime to just lock up the perpetrator and throw away the key? How much does it cost to give someone free food, shelter, and healthcare for basically their entire life? 5 years in therapy would not only be cheaper, but at the end of those 5 years it's highly likely they'll have been cured of the desire to murder for online characters. They'd be better off by being grown up in the first place.
When you're a child, grasping the concepts of pain and fear is hard in a sheltered life, and it's naturally harder to separate imagination from reality when young. Granted it's almost never as far as to take an imaginary character's word as to take another life, but they still should not be treated as mentally competent as adults.
Criminals are people too, and don't need to be dealt with by stuffing them into a prison for most of their lives.

Off Topic / "Slender Man stabbing" girls face adult court

This interesting story popped up on my home page. While the actual case was a year ago, only now has the proceedings begun.
Basically, two girls were convinced the Slender Man creepypasta stories were real. They wanted to become his "proxies" and live in his mansion in the forest, and the only way to achieve this was to murder one of their friends. They lured her into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, but fortunately she survived.
The question of this topic is, should they really be tried in adult court? They would face 65 years in prison, rather than 5 years of rehabilitation in Juvenile prison. What do you think?

Nothing excites me more in this show than interstellar political conflict. When the extended theme teased Yellow Diamond, I got so excited. I just feel so mad that it's highly unlikely we'll ever see that, at least coming soon. Granted episodes can sometimes be vague, Peridot's message was just described as "magical interference" until the episode came out. But I'm having trouble finding what interesting Homeworld interactions could come from Steven's bathroom.
EDIT: I do confess the episodes about his unnamed "friends" might have some merit, but still feels unlikely.

This is why I just keep all my music on my OneDrive and stream it via the new Windows 10 Music app. Playlists and album art are immediately found and synced. I only use iTunes when I want to update my iPhone's music library, although it ran out of space long ago.

It's a step, sometimes. Some of the most successful people are horribly depressed and never happy. When you don't have as much money, big gifts and purchases mean so much more. When you have everything, nothing money can buy is truly pleasing anymore.
