What registrar do you use? Last time I checked .io domains where like 4x the price of a .org

Well that just makes the title even more useless.

I wish you named it “lewwy.world” just for the symmetry lol.

Thank you for sharing this, i really appreciate it.

Good to know it’s being looked at. I understand now that it’s a pretty big ask. I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

This may be true, but I think the main reason for less “obvious” baddies in modern movies is simply that they kind of went out of fashion from a culture standpoint. The ways how stories are told and how world is portrayed/perceived in art and media is heavily dependent on the people who live in it. Post-modernism is en vogue because we’ve shifted our world view from simple good vs. bad towards recognizing that the world we live in is much more nuanced/complex. “Sometimes the villain is in your head” or “nothing really matters, everything sucks one way or another” are world views that reflect our modern western culture a lot more since we are so much more connected to the world through the internet.

That said, post/meta-modernism is just one side of this. I’m sure there are plenty of commercial reasons to make toothless, non-offending movies as well. Also, movies like Top Gun: Maverick prove that the classic approach to storytelling (good guys vs bad guys) can still work and make a shitton of cash (although they didn’t go all in on who the enemy actually is).

Huh. It seemed to work fine till the end for me, except sometimes I had to tap twice for the video to play.

I’m totally fine not having the feature if it proofs unfeasable. Definitely would be amazing though as I now often find myself avoiding youtube posts entirely. But maybe that’s just me and I’m okay with it either way.

I read the whole article and that particular test was the least alarming to me. They say the cells died 3x faster than when exposed to a more diluted solution, but the article doesn’t mention references for what concentration levels were tested or if the levels were anywhere close to what a real human could be exposed to. They just say the particles might accumulate over time, but that doesn’t really mean anything without hard numbers.

The big studios have been putting all their eggs in the most profitable basket in the last few years, which is huge action-packed franchises that consume record-breaking budgets. The mid-budget summer movie as we knew them up to 2015 or so (think Hangover, Superbad, Bridesmaids,…) have been dying out as a result, unfortunately. But the cracks of this model are now starting to show due to many “big” franchise productions bombing at the box office this summer.

How exactly does that drawer thing work to access my subscriptions? I haven’t seen it properly explained anywhere yet.

AC leans even harder into Wes’ unabridged self-indulgent side imo, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

This is an interesting graph! I think the phenomenon of longer runtimes has two major reasons:

1. Streaming Studios are much less stringent with how long a movie can be since it’s less of a concern how many times it can be shown per day/theatre. Also, runtime doesn’t matter as much when the viewers can pause and return to it whenever they please. This is encouraged by streaming services because it also increases the overall time spent in the app.

2. The vanishing of medium-budget movies High-profile, high-budget movies by known directors have always been longer on average, because they can afford to do so and are expected to draw large audiences. In recent years the number of mid-budget movies, the likes we are used to from pre-2010, has drastically decreased in favor of big blockbuster productions (here’s an article about it). So the average runtime has increased as a consequence of this.

I personally don’t like this trend. Although I really enjoy longer movies, most of them wind up with obnoxious amounts of badly written filler-content.

Here’s hoping this gets added to SmartTube like SponsorBlock was.

Lol, I’ve yet figure out what umami actually tastes like. I know salty, sweet, sour,… but wtf is umami? Every example/description of it sounds completely different. Can I go buy an umami-spice somewhere? Can it even be isolated? Does “umami” actually exist, or was it made up to trigger the shit out of people whenever someone mentions it online??

K, I’ll see myself out.

I have nothing against it being optional, but I for one love the colored/indented lines. They make it so much easier for me to follow a conversation. I always thought they were one of the best things inherited from the apollo for reddit app.

There is an icon in the top right corner of each post for me.

Editing and saving the account did the trick for me! Oddly enough I did try to remove and re-add my account before and it didn’t fix the problem. But when I just tapped edit and then save, everything worked fine again. A bit counter-intuitive but I’m not complaining :)

I appreciate the quick support, thanks!

You have to tap the camera icon.

If it’s not there it might depend on the instance/community you’re posting in?

Replies to a top-level comment are indented to the right. This signifies a new comment thread. When two or more comments are replies to one and the same comment, they are displayed with the same color and on the same horizontal layer. The further to the right you go the deeper you go into the convo. If you see the lines suddenly jump back to the left it means that you reached the end of that particular convo. So that new line on the left should connect to where the convo forked into multiple threads (because it had more than one replies), or the next top-level comment.

I hope that makes sense. Turns out this is kinda hard to explain without visual support, lol.
