Man, what a time to be alive that was. I don't think I the term "BiS" even existed back then.

Ah yes, the golden rule of writing: tell, then show
It's weird, because I loved Spirited Away upon first watching it. But I can't do it anymore. It's like you say, a dream with no consistency. I let it fool me once, but now I'm lucid and see through the facade.
That's not to say I think it's bad, per se. It's still beautiful, and fascinating, and has a great score... But for me personally it has no re-watchability for precisely the reasons you mention.
It get's a lot of hate, especially from armchair critics. I'm an armchair critic myself, but I truthfully do not understand the hate. Everytime I rewatch Rogue One, I try to find reasons to hate it, but it's pretty watchable if you ask me. People hate Jin and complain that her character and motivations make no sense, but I disagree. Her decisions are logically consistent with what she learns about her father as the movie progresses.
Anyway, I enjoy it every time I watch it, which is far more than I can say for the vast majority of Star Wars movies and shows produced in the 21st century.
In addition to what others have said, the ShieldTV is also a moderately capable emulation device. It's how we play N64 games in my household.
And when set up right, it's hands-down my favorite way to watch TV, especially when compared to the modern smart TV experience.
Less than a year ago my cousin and I were sitting outside when we saw a green light in the sky slowly approaching us. There's a small airport nearby, and it's common to see light aircraft flying in the area, so we both assumed it was just a plane. The strange part was that it wasn't making any sound at all, which made us pay closer attention to it.
It got pretty close to us, maybe half a mile away, when it suddenly stopped for a moment, made several rapid movements in a geometric fashion, and then disappeared behind a nearby hill (not the direction it came from). Neither one of us could explain what we had just seen. We've both lived our entire lives in this small town, but we've never seen anything like that.
Grayjay is also a good option.
Been using NewPipe for years. What are ads?
Right? What isn't an echo chamber?
I find it difficult to defend the idea that Reddit is not a leftist echo chamber. I love Reddit, but it's not a place you go for open and honest discussions between people from both sides of the aisle. Even non-political subreddits will meet right-leaning and conservative ideas with hostility. You can browse the front page of Reddit every day and never see a single thing even remotely pro-Trump or pro-Republican. That's not a knock on Reddit. That's just the truth.

I really wanted Windows phone to succeed. Still bummed about it.
