    People say they don’t like the ads, but every time I close my eyes and it’s suddenly morning I feel cheated out of my free trial.

      “Close your eyes. Count to one. That’s how long forever feels”

        I think that’s from the existential nihilism video. Anyways, reminds me of this Alan Watts quote…

        Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up… now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep.

      When you go to hell, you’re strapped to a chair and forced to watch ads that spoil major plot points of the movie.

      Then when you watch the movie in theaters, the pre-movie ads are ads that spoil the major plot points of several other movies.

      An eternal chain of ruin, for your sins.

      To die, to sleep,

      To sleep, perchance to dream, ay, there’s the rub;

      For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

      When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

      Must give us pause.

      Shakespeare was already talking about ads
