Yes! I struggle to motivate myself to stick with hobbies. I love photography, making art, writing - but often the motivation is just lacking. But cooking? I'm biologically motivated to cook (most days) so it's easy to keep up with. All I have to do is save recipes and plan ahead just a little
Absolutely agree, got a big crush on Cap so I like to imagine he's too tuned into the purest version of the 🇺🇸American spirit🇺🇸 to hate. But it is funny to suspend that and think about what if he was just a grumpy old man
Are you me? Pretty much the same story. Still a lot of nostalgia for that movie.
As I understand it a lot of Godzilla fans mainly hate it because it diverges so much from traditional Godzilla. Which I get but what a lame reason to hate a movie
That scene at Medieval Times when Carrey does that great rendition of the fight music from Star Trek.
It's always been interesting to me how relevant movies from the 90s and early 2000s make Star Trek seem at that time. Cable Guy and Wayne's World both come to mind as movies that make multiple, occasionally obscure Trek references. I was born in 96 and watch a fair amount of Trek but it just doesn't feel as relevant in my generation :/
There wasn’t enough time spent on character backstory! Use your glowing rectangle.
I agree that backstory is non-essential, but are critics criticizing the lack of backstory or the lack of fully fleshed out characters? Because imo one of the reasons the first Suicide Squad was bad was because it didn't have adequately fleshed out characters. Any movie that relies on outside material to fill in essential blanks is not doing one of the major things a movie is supposed to do: tell a full story with its characters. Or at least it's not doing it well
Idk if I'd go that far by Crystal Skull was definitely the answer I was thinking of. Had a few parts that really strained the audience, sure, but overall a descent film imo
Could’ve done without yet another train fight, and the chase sequences might’ve been cut down a bit
This is exactly how I felt - like the opening sequence was too long for what it contributed, and that the chase sequences could have been cut down. Sounds like we just disagree on the overall impact due to those aspects
Yeah look at how every single conversation about supporting small businesses went on reddit. Users would rage day and night about the ills of megacorporations. But if you got them talking about supporting small business they'd come out of the woodwork to tell you they're not paying a higher price. And with things being as tight as they are right now, that's a logical conclusion. But it just goes to show that even if you sit someone down and explain to them that X thing they say they support absolutely cannot compete with the price of Y thing they say they hate - they will still side with their pocketbook 9/10 times
I don't think you realize how incredibly short 10 years is in terms of investment recuperation. That's not realistic unless you're talking about abandoning capitalism all together, at which point the particulars of IP law are irrelevant
I don't have an answer to your actual question other than self-hosting. But, I doubt you'd ever get a "firehose of trash" on your main feed. Mainly because the trashy instances aren't that populous, so I doubt their posts would be active or hot enough to float to the top. But I could be wrong.
You could always go directly to the instance you want to read and lurk. Unless you make an account you won't be able to comment, but you'll be able to get your firehose of trash
Edit: Just be mindful of how much you consume, you'd be surprised how easily hate can invade your mind. To this day I still have to self-censor every now and then thanks to the hateful rhetoric I grew up around, even though I'm long past it
