Should I start a new thread, everyone hates it but you love it? lol I like reggae. I don't love it. But I wish I could play those bass lines.

I don't see why not, but it's less likely to come up with stuff.

My Little Pony, I sat and watched a few episodes of it, and I honestly don't see what's so good about it.

I've been warned away from Koontz quite loudly, and Cussler seems terrible.
I've read some of Koontz's works, and (unless I'm getting my authors mixed up, but I don't think so) what put me off most was the ham-fisted celebration of creationist christianity. I recall one book where the villain acted the way he did because he wanted to save evolutionary theory or something along those lines. That included killing his wife's children and telling her they'd gone away on some UFO.
I read that one years ago when I was far less critical than I am now, but even then I had a really big WTF-moment.

I've only read a few of Koontz's books - in fact, I think the three I mentioned earlier might be the only ones I've read.  At the time, Phantoms and Twilight Eyes were supposedly his best.  I would still recommend them now to horror fans.  His other stuff, I dunno, but I suppose there's a reason why so many of his books get turned into bad direct-to-video movies.  (Phantoms also got turned into a movie, but I recommend ignoring it, avoiding any spoilers, and just reading the book.)
It took an hour to write; I figured it'd take an hour to read.

MLP, Modern Warfare, Humanity.

@OP I can see your argument with cats and it is completely understandable, however if you can find that one cat that really loves you they are the sweetest things in the world. The same thing applies to humans. I find dogs to be really annoying since they have no sense of personal space (duh).

Well on the bright side life always comes new, not used. Imagine being born into an old man, instead of a baby. You get maybe 5 years before you're dead. And 1/2 of those will be spent in a nursing home for the criminally insane. Well, on that bright note, at least you don't suffer from insanity, you are enjoying it too much.

So you'd be like a replicant, born with a lifespan of only a few years, and whats worse, your not an android with superhuman strength and masterful intelligence, your just one OLD ass sucker with one hell of a back-ache problem and a burning resentment for "kids these days"... Also your colostomy bag needs changing.

Sounds like the good-life

But I like that cereal o.o.

Captain Crunch, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruit Loops, any cereal with marshmallows, frosting, or overt sugar rushes all just left me kind of despondent and anxious until lunch. So I never cared for sugary cereals.

Apparently having Cheerios or plain oatmeal with a side of yogurt and a banana everyday was... dorky?

I don't really dig the other cereals you've mentioned.

Also, I'm like Corn Flakes > Cheerios.

Haven't eaten cereals in a decade or more.

Television, both cable and broadcast.  The thing is much more enjoyable when I'm playing my own collection of anime and movies on it.

The current crop of sitcoms.  The humour has become so scripted, so base, so predictable, so degrading, so very depressing.

Cereal is a common evening snack for me.

Bacon, I cannot stomach the taste of bacon, it's been that way ever since I've tried it when I was young.

Smartphones... trying to type a ten-digit bank ID or webex number and always getting an involuntary double tap somewhere at the end... Keeping that iPhone safely in a drawer at work where it can't do any harm. I want a phone as a phone and a computer as a computer.
