J’accuse! Jk. There’s a show on Netflix called Explained. Each episode is a mini documentary. There’s an episode from 2019 about “the next pandemic”.

They really nailed it.

I initially did but I saw you comment on another post clarifying. I opted to leave my comment up because the movie going experience is important to me and I wanted to share it with others. :)

I took my ex’s son. He went in wearing an Ant-Man helmet while holding a Capt America shield in hand and the Infinity Gauntlet on the other.

Here’s a shot I took on the streetcar ride to the theater.

I think there are some people that don’t like things and they don’t want anyone to like things either.

Yeah there are a lot of a super hero slop movies built on an assembly line, but to someone out there, a favorite character or story they liked as a kid is real for 2 hours. Maybe they got teased for loving Shazam, and now they are grown and can just leave their problems behind and watch a dumb Shazam movie. I wish more people would just let other people like things and leave them alone.

I always think every movie that gets made is sort of a miracle. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people work on a piece of art and they have to compromise or it doesn’t happen. That’s so rare in our world.

I go to the theater every Sunday morning to the earliest showings of that day.

The theater chain in my town has a monthly subscription. $20/month and I can see 4 movies a week.

I don’t always love the theater itself, but the experience of seeing movies in theaters is very different than watching at home and I love that feeling.

I’m actively choosing to go to a new location in a dark room without distractions, to turn off my phone, to not speak, and to give the movie my full and complete attention. There’s something to that, which is hard for me to explain, but it changes my relationship to the movie.

Sometimes people are shitty, talking or texting, but I find that it doesn’t actually happen much. Perhaps I has something to do seeing early movies, rather than prime time. I don’t know.

Unless something happens to drastically alter my ability to enjoy the experience, I don’t foresee that I will ever stop going.

There are some great chicken webcams in YouTube. One of them has a way to feed the chickens popcorn remotely for $1 and it’s awesome.

That happened to me with Graham Greene. I watched a movie and recognized him but I couldn’t remember his name. Looked him up and fell down a rabbit hole deep diving into his biography. He passed away the next day. :(

English as my first language and I can’t get that one right either.

No one can.

Not everything on Amazon ships in two days. In the picture, the dates vary quite a bit.

Amazon is just a drop shipping marketplace where everything comes direct from the exact same warehouse in China.

Michael Reeves. One video a year, making the dumbest most hilarious shit you can think of.

That makes sense. I was thinking Iran probably had oil too, but I don’t know enough about their imports/exports.

If you have kids I highly recommend doing some research

This. It would solve so many problems. I know we’re all out here doing the best we can, but this would do wonders for society.

You aren’t wrong, but I think web apps would have been more prevalent because you could develop for a single platform (browser) and it would work on most any device that has a browser.

If companies, like Apple didn’t block Progressive Web Apps in order to force App Store usage, I’d disagree, but we just don’t live in that world.

I assume we are talking original release and not a remake? These are the games I never stopped jumping in and out of.

• Fez (X360 2012)
• Rock Band/Guitar Hero (Multi-System)
• Skyrim (Multi-System 2011)
• FTL (PC 2012)
• Civilization V (PC 2010)
• Stardew Valley (Multi-System 2016)

Recently, I’ve been playing Top Gear (SNES 1992).

For many of these, I’m not playing on the original system. I’m playing a port. Fez wasn’t ported to modern consoles, but I play on my phone.

Hell, I played Skyrim on an Amazon Echo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t have all the details to the case, but after reading the article I kinda think they got it wrong.

Let that man call himself Lambo and keep the domain. As long as he isn’t pretending to represent another brand, such as Lamborghini.

In the grand scheme of society, it’s kinda bonkers how there was such a short window to go to learn something like Web Development and get a job before it started being replaced. Basically a job that existed for ~30 years and won’t be around much longer.

(Yes I know AI is dumb, but it doesn’t matter if C-Suite execs think it can do it, they’ll replace jobs with AI)

Me over here who just liked problem solving and making things.

100% agree. Roblox looks like Minecraft but it’s more like a chatroom with games rather than a game with a chat feature.

A chatroom where 60% of the users are under the age of 16. 40% under 12.

People don’t want to give their dog heart worm/flea protection because they are worried it leads to seizures.

I had to explain why they should continue to do it so many times on Facebook. The benefits out way the risk by such a great magnitude that it should be a no-brainer.
