People who are slaves to trends will happily be giving away more of their money because 3 trends are merging for a limited time thing

No this is called a real protest. Protests that are quiet and don't bother anyone happen every day - and are ignored every day.

Here we are, talking about this one, like the rest of the nation.

I think he's one of those "protesting is great as long as it doesn't affect anyone", aka out of sight out of mind protesting.

I used to be like that until I realized that it would accomplish nothing. Their reasoning is that "you aren't winning any friends" which you aren't, but you are on every news channel with your message up there vs just being people in a park

I immediately assumed anyone who said it was no big deal that they were doing it have never worked a service job in their life.

I mean having basic human empathy would also work, but if you don't have that then service jobs show you first hand being on the bottom rung of society, having every Karen scream at you over arbitrary bullshit or having grown ass men throw hamburgers at you because someone else put too many pickles on it.

That's already been a thing. It's well documented that super hero movies' villains all usually start as people who just want to change the status quo, but then do one ultra violent thing to make destroying them justified.

Even Thanos had a very real point, they just made him a monster by acting on it violently. But they never went back to "uh, but he did have a point, his world did literally die because they exhausted the resources". But how could you ever side with him when he violently acted on it, so his point must be invalid.

Repeat ad nauseum for most other superhero movies.

I think I have...

I think that's why it becomes so noticeable - it's usually so calm and chill that when someone comes in to stir the pot it's so obvious

Battlefield has always had a cheating and skill issue. Battlefield 1 got the closest to being okay, I'd get in, have some fun, get heads hotter a few times and drop.

5 though was horrible. I'd have legit cheaters who could shoot me through mountains and people way higher skill than me. It wasn't a place where I could just go and have some fun.

So yeah, I don't see me picking up a new one

Thank you! After Admiral Patrick left I felt like there was a void here, introducing Captain Swift!

Honestly out of all of the uses of AI... I'm okay with this one.

Workers are striking after trying a failing multiple times to negotiate fair pay, standardize Remote/Hybrid options, and other basic rights. The strike comes the day before election day.

I guess fingers crossed at the NYT that the election website doesn't tip over from too much traffic....

Tom Hanks says moviegoers are no longer interested in VFX spectacles and are returning to good storytelling.

 

Just marking it. Coming up is Canada, and then, I think that's the end!

People are reporting they were told they were recording the performance, most are assuming that there will be another film coming out! Either the Tortured Poets Department and/or a behind the scenes!

 

What shows have you grown out of, or has society grown out of? Were they popular in their time? Were they not so much? Why do you feel like they've aged? I'll leave mine below
