It depends the podcast and how much I enjoy it.

• If it's a podcast with a single theme that will be treated across all episodes, say something about Ancient Egypt or Greece for example, I will start at the first episode and slowly move my way up.
• If it's just people chatting, or something that doesn't require some kind of progression, I will listen to whatever episode is available.
• But if after an episode or two I think it's a podcast I think I will particularly appreciate, I will start over from the first episode.

100% this.

I think we won't be able to go through what will happen (already started) at least not without a lot of suffering and violence that will make any past tragedy look like mere child-play. But, hey, we will be able to record it in 4K and get LIkes. Yeah.

I too am quite surprised so few people seem to have been reading that book. I'm not even American but I've read it.

So much of what has been happening recently is explained in it.

A, this is why magic isn’t real

I don't think the question is about magic vs reality, we're talking vampires here, right?, but to know how if vampires were a thing, it would be possible (or not) for a vampire cop to enter a house without being invited by the home owner, even with a warrant.

B, the law can say whatever the fuck it wants it still can’t bend reality.

The law doesn't need to bend any reality, it never does. Law is not about scientific laws, it's about human behavior. At least modern laws as some older ones may have tried, and maybe some particularly stupid modern ones too, but their ability to bend said reality to their will is still to be demonstrated :p

The law is a contract, with a sanction of some sort when it is broken. Be it to pay a fine, or to be prevented to do certain activities in the future, or be forced to do some other ones, or to go to jail. Up to the death penalty, in some places.

The law is about making the citizens bent to its will, not the reality.

That will is, in theory at least, is the expression of the common will, also known as the agreed upon desire of all the citizens. Citizens don't define laws of physics (which would deal with 'reality') and no matter how hard they may want, the also can't alter them.

Speed limit is not about enforcing a certain speed over which the laws of physics would suddenly (and magically) crumble. It’s about punishing people not respecting that agreed upon speed limit. That’s also why it’s very possible to have different speed limits in different places. Physics doesn't change, our expectations do.

We will drive faster on a highway than, say, next to a school despite the car being the same, with the same driver and with the same laws of physics applying, why? The place is different and also how we are expected to behave in such a place which, near a school, should obviously be to slow down so we the drivers (aka old/adults enough to have our driving license and act responsibly) can compensate for kids being… kids, aka not always being attentive to what’s going on around them, or being silly.

A warrant, for example has nothing to do with giving its carrier some magical power to enter a place (say by moving through a closed door or through walls, or by teleporting there) but it has all to do with punishing the owner of the place for not letting the warrant carrier enter their house, even if they don’t want to.

So, all I was saying is that in that ‘fantasy’ world where vampire cops would be a thing, the law may as well be written so it makes it a ‘mandatory welcoming' for the home owner to let in the vampire-cop, any refusal to comply to said 'forced invitation to enter' being sanctioned by a more or less severe punishment… Which, btw, is not far from what a warrant is supposed to be doing in our (this time, real) world ;)

I meant: the warrant would equal an invitation to enter one's home, an invitation decided by the judge to which, as a law abiding citizen, the place owner would be forced to comply with.

Anywhere I can go that's at walking distance (do errands, go to appointments, expo, friends,...) and, like I said, to nowhere in particular just for the enjoyment of going out and walk, wandering in the city (or wherever I happen to be when I'm not home).

It's also a great way to get surprised and to discover places and meet people you probably would not otherwise ;)

The funny thing is that a few years ago I was chronically (and severely) ill, like in a real real bad shape and I was also severely obese. No exaggerating, I could barely walk a few steps outside of my home without needing the entire day to rest. I decided I had enough of that shit and started to walk daily. I started slow (not much choice here) walking a few steps, but I did it everyday, without worrying about the shame of being frowned upon by people, then I started doing it twice a day, then even more. And I gently started walking for longer sessions too. Nowadays, if I'm still chronically ill (and that won't get away) I lost a shit ton of weight and I feel so much better despite that illness. And I will feel bad, if I don't go out at least for a little walk ;)

One of the things i love the most is going in a city i've never been before or i barrly know and just lose myself

100%. Note that one can also do that in a city they know: there is a lot of streets and spots to visit ;)

But couldn't the law be written so that a warrant once seen by the home owner must legally be considered a mandatory invitation, making the cop legally allowed to enter the home?

Outside. Every single day, I'll be walking. Sometimes to go to some specific place, often just to go out and have a nice long walk.
