thank you for interrupt my doomscroll to remind me that people out there are still empathetic and capable of learning/admitting to their faults.

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind
yes it is soo ignominious to use common turns of phrase to convey meaning, they must be so embarassed
bro literally cambridge dictionary has added cringe as an adjective, language changes over time get over it.
adjective
informaluk/krɪndʒ/ us/krɪndʒ/
very embarrassing, because of being so bad or silly: Everything he posts on social media seems so cringe.
When you're watching the show you constantly think "this is cringe", but it's completely addictive!
ooh i can actually speak to this! yes i know lots of nothing, but that nothing builds like a snowball, and then one day you wake up and are in your mid 30s and all those things you know are now expertises and people start to rely on you for that.
trust the process, you will keep learning more as time goes on and you will be able to put that to use. just not in your 20s. your 20s is where your dreams go to die temporarily
this is the most succint way of verbalising my problems with the situation. i know ceo's largely sway R, i'm not surprised by andy's politic pov. but this tweet was openly eating trumps ass which gives me the ick. like bro you are a ceo i know youre a lying pos but now you're a liar and want to rim the nazis, your business is founded on trust how the fuck can i trust you?
your edit sounds like the fediverse model
Disney purchased a brand name and that’s it. Star Wars is now whatever they want it to be, as depressing as it is. But let’s not pretend they ever intended to treat it with respect. No, they wanted to slap the Star Wars logo on some shitty merch and only make the films because they have to keep the brand name relevant.
i know the metaphor isnt 1:1 but i'm not upset when there's a second season of a tv show I liked, and I don't consider it lazy to use the same characters to tell a new story.
also it's kind of a no-brainer for general audiences. why take a risk paying for a ticket to something I might not like, when I can see something I know I do like, only new?
these films have much bigger budget allocations than most (if not all) of a studio's original slate, so a built-in audience ensures at least some ROI.
that doesn't mean i'm happy about it, gambling on new stories should be more profitable than gambling with a $250m budget. but the latter has been a proven strategy, at least at the moment.
instead of a 4-decade-long dead-horse-beating the people complaining need to take a deep breath and go and support indie and original cinema themselves.
Oh so Netflix is a debrid. Good to know
Yeah but what’s the moral to the story? Keep failing over and over again and you’ll end up being the most powerful man in the world twice? Not a story that can be told without realising that the world is corrupt cesspool.
