THE COMPOSITES
The Composites is a very strange website where Brian Joseph Davis inputs descriptions of literary characters into law enforcement composite sketch software.
Obviously, I’m not condoning piracy, but it’s clear from this image that it’s not just about saving money. People are willing to pay if you offer them what they want, but if there is a large burden or inconvenience in going through legitimate avenues, they will look elsewhere.
“Cigarettes are like squirrels. They’re not dangerous until you put one in your mouth and light it on fire.” [via celluloidblonde]
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.
Mark Twain in Following the Equator
via Brain Pickings
The value of goals is not in the future they describe, but the change in perception of reality they foster. What we focus on changes what we notice. Our brain filters information, seeing one thing in a situation instead of something else, based on what we identify with, what we have our attention on, what we’re looking for—more or less consciously.
