"Genre cinema is the language of the masses, and the best way to effectively convey complex ideologies, perspectives or issues is between fistfuls of popcorn." https://paletteswap.site/true-colors/malignant-sequelitis-in-defense-of-the-bargain-bin/

Want to scream into a void of frustration? Buy a Unifi product. Hands down the worst networking experience out there. -No streamlined way to connect a device and a minimum of 3 apps to run it. -Perfect example of engineers building a device without any consideration for UX You appreciate Apple & Google that much more when you realize how much effort they put into making the setup experience practically seamless. /lessoninthere

Interesting take, but there's another side that Bravo is missing here. As someone who's worked in the industry, those $200M Marvel movies essentially fertilize everything else the studio produces. While those films may be their main bet, they also need to cover the themselves with a bunch of smaller budget films to address various audiences that make up the movie going public. This way they don't miss out on films that organically usurp manufactured blockbusters. Dark horses will always emerge in an-otherwise saturated marketplace. Thats what keeps it interesting, and why those weird, subtle, personal films that usually come out during the spring and awards season keep things from being too lopsided.

Original patent for the Nonic pint glass filed in 1913. Its signature top bubble made them easy to stack and hard to break.

A challenge, absolutely. Impossible!? No. Long standing communities naturally evolve. There are BBS communities I'm in that are still kicking after 20+ years. Sure, there's an ebb and flow to how active they are over that time, but when people make sincere connections and life long memories, they're more willing to stick around. To @dwr.eth's point about how most communities fracture and die, from my experience that's usually due to: a) The community starting pretty much accidentally, but explodes in members even though it was rudderless from the jump b) High ranking mods fracture the community based on internal drama that gets out of control There's no one-size-fits-all approach to solve a lot of these issues, but having people who are in, or have been in long standing online communities are usually able to spot patterns and tackle them to help ensure their longevity.

Wow! Best crypto related commercial I've seen. Huge credit to keeping it real with the small, but compounding amounts the platform realistically delivers as opposed to the "generational wealth" crazy flips that are the exception rather than the rule.

Every week there's new drama that makes up the discourse. While the theme of that discourse here is around crypto meta and trends, every social network has a version of this intense, but brief meta that often dominates a timeline. Take a few days off and it can feel like you're out of the loop...or you can just wait a few more days and catch a new one 🏄‍♂️

🎯 Spot on take from Bravo here. Adjacent to this issue is the deficit of critical thinking skills to challenge the slop we’re presented with on a daily basis. Better execution won’t fix that either. The next wave of companies leading with trust is a step in the right direction, but proven trust takes time and the funding for long term ventures that allow for it are sadly few and far between.

SportsTrax was a classic case of good idea/bad timing. Released just before the players strike of 94/95 and eventually discontinued by 98, it was one of the first instances of a wireless mobile device that allowed you to keep up on basic stats without needing to be glued to a TV or radio. Looking at it now, it's almost a proto tamagotchi. The $299 price point pretty much meant that unless you were either a diehard fan or obsessive gambler (or both) this device was never going to go beyond a niche audience.
