- Comment on What TV shows have aged the best, and what TV shows have aged the worst? 4 days ago:
Honestly, I’d agree that sitcoms on the whole tend to age poorly, but there are some that have stood the test of time. Like another commenter said, Golden Girls still slaps, but the one that I think has shockingly aged the best is The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Despite being over 50 years old, I was laughing so hard at basically every episode, and it only gets better as it goes on.
It’s relatively progressive politics for its time have also ensured that it stays relevant, like the episode where Phyllis finds out her brother is gay and she’s just relieved that he’s not dating Rhoda. That aired in like… 1972 or 1973. That kind of casual acceptance could almost be considered radical for the time, and the women’s rights issues it occasionally brings up are still relevant.
But I think the biggest reason it’s aged so well is that it’s so character focused. It never gets overtly political like Maude, pop culture references are relatively uncommon, and the character writing is so strong to the point that even the supporting characters get good development.

Don’t forget Richard Harris, Kenneth Branagh, Jason Isaacs, Alan Rickman, and Gary Fucking Oldman.
The Harry Potter movies were stacked.

Your complaint is really just a symptom of the problems inherent in the centralization of the internet. The terms of service of basically all tech platforms gives them unilateral control of how those terms are enforced. If one doesn’t like the terms of service set on a given platform, one should not use said platform.
I tend not to agree with them, so I don’t use them. Others should probably do the same.

The perfect filled-in eyebrows, looks like she’s wearing lipstick and eyeliner. It’s a little… strange.

- Comment on Flappy Bird’s original creator says he has nothing to do with the new game 6 months ago:
As for the crypto piece of this puzzle, cybersecurity researcher Varun Biniwale pointed out hidden pages from the Flappy Bird website that indicate there may be such a component in the game’s launch. One page that seems to have been removed (and is archived here) said Flappy Bird will “fly higher than ever on Solana as it soars into web 3.0,” and invited players to “build, create, play and stake to own.”
Of course it’s a crypto scam.

Toot actually isn’t official anymore. They changed it to notes (p sure), but the userbase decided to keep using toots because it’s cuter.

As negatively as I’ve been feeling about this game, it’s nice to see someone feeling positive about it.
