Part of me hates myself for asking this. You clearly put a lot of effort into this.

Why? There are at least a couple actual blogging options with ActivityPub support. Why try to force Lemmy into something it isn’t.

But again he’s a superhero accountant. Not a healthy well adjusted person with autism. I wouldn’t expect to relate to everything.

Besides there is nothing in the movie that suggests he needs to do those things. I saw that as a routine instilled in him by his abusive father. It’s not some example of a proper coping technique he would have learned in the great looking facility his father refused to send him to.

I never thought the movie was presenting him or his brother as happy well adjusted people. The abuse they were raised with was quite obvious.

Disagree. I felt seen.
But I’m not a superhero accountant, so I could be wrong

Why is that a problem exactly?
Is it just because they’re Russian?
Are there some dots I’m not connecting?

My go to movies when looking for that kind of thing, are Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Mr. Right.

So you’re saying, since it’s their call, it makes sense to not have a weird conversion with them?

Exactly true. But celebrating a new coat of paint, instead of cleaning the old paint, is kind of silly. That’s my point.

What’s worse, being weird, or just letting this happen?

There are no new stories. Haven’t been for millennia.
Stop asking for re-skinned old stories.

Why are you switching from Google? Is it privacy and data collection? Anything you switch to, will charge you, or sell your data. That’s just how it works.

Free isn’t a business model. Money needs to come from somewhere. If it’s not coming from you, it’ll be someone else.

“Based on” wouldn’t be the right term. That would require some knowing intention to make a new version of an old story. I’m saying even if you try to make a new story, it’ll either suck, or be very much like another story written thousands of years ago.

That’s irrelevant to my actual argument.

If you’re going to oversimplify a story that much, remember there are only a couple dozen or so different stories, and they were all written thousands of years ago.

In this case, Mickey 17 would more accurately be Moses in Space, just like Snowpiecer is Moses on a Train. And since neither are original, neither are that great.

It bugs me when people say corporations enable people to take risks. They don’t. They eliminate risk. They allow people to do risky things without any personal accountability. Then they just shut down one corp, start another, and do it again.

Carice is a cool option.
An old school, no frills sports car, that happens to be all electric.

Sure, they’re hand built to order. But in that class, they’re surprising cheep. Less than €50K if I recall

If A Working Man is based on a book, you can’t really call it original. It’s also another Statham action movie, which also can’t really be called original.

I am excited to see Death of a Unicorn.

The Precise Location Permission description, specifically states that’s what they’re doing.

You can manually setup any site to be your default search in Firefox.

That’s why I liked it.
In several places it looked like I knew where it was going, then suddenly it surprised me with a different direction.

Humans!
