Okay, got it. Thank you for clearing that up for me. It’s very unfortunate you don’t have a safe space.

What is the concern about hotlines? Are you worried people may be recording and using that against you somehow? What you linked to doesn’t really mention hotlines.
- Comment on ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Nears $800M Global, ‘Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning’ Tops $450M & ‘Ballerina’ Bows To $51M WW – International Box Office 1 week ago:
I did not expect Lilo & Stitch to be doing that much, given how much complaint I saw online about it coming out. I guess this is a prime example of the vocal minority. I’m sure a sequel will be fast tracked.
- Comment on Severance’s Seth Milchick was originally envisioned as a minor character, but Tramell Tillman’s performance changed everything 1 week ago:
The show isn’t over, so we don’t really know the full extent of how MDR works. All we have to go on is the information at hand. Gemma was in an accident, which may have primed her brain to be a perfect receiver for whatever treatment/torture they’ve been doing.
- Comment on Severance’s Seth Milchick was originally envisioned as a minor character, but Tramell Tillman’s performance changed everything 1 week ago:
I mean yeah, I thought all the rooms Gemma was in, plus the pregnancy gave all of that away. The company would be one of the richest in the world.
- Comment on Stranger Things 5 | Official Teaser | Volume 1: November 26 , Volume 2: December 25, Finale: December 31 2 weeks ago:
My assumption is they are trying to get the “Family Christmas movie” crowd that goes see a movie on Christmas, and they are hoping a month is enough time for everyone to watch volume 1. Gathering the family to watch Stranger things would be cheaper than going out.
- Comment on ‘Gen V’ Season 2 Release Date Set at Amazon, First Trailer Addresses Chance Perdomo’s Death 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t think they’d be easily let out, curious how it will play out. The actor that plays the new dean was amazing in Legion.
- Comment on What TV series has the best intro song or sequence? What TV series have the worst intro song or sequence? 2 weeks ago:
I’ll mention one that I don’t see. The song for What We Do In the Shadows is very catchy.

Twin Peaks X-Men 97 Samurai Jack Veronica Mars - get decent reviews? (Still have yet to watch the series) But I hear there was mixed reviews on however it ended Cobra Kai - lasted 6 seasons Girl Meets World - Seems to have a decent score and I remember not totally hating it when my niece was watching it. Fraiser - I hear people like this

There is a waiting list, and not all those people have the time to wait. I’m sure insurance is also a large part.

You must be living in the Twilight Zone at this point.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 month ago:
You better hop the Bobs don’t come through your place of work looking to make changes.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 month ago:
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way my boss can’t see me. Uh, and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too. I’d probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.
The thing is, it’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that I just don’t care. It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and the company ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing,I have eight different bosses right now!
So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y’know, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.
Now they are trying to offer me some kind of stock option and equity sharing program? I have a meeting tomorrow where I am probably going to be laid off.

Are they over their bankruptcy already?
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 months ago:
This was going to my answer as well. While spelling on the internet is pretty bad, English isn’t the primary language of many people on Lemmy.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 2 months ago:
I feel like the end of season 2 got wonky because they found out they were getting cancelled. They did make it work with the little time they had left.
- Comment on Jonathan Majors has addressed the rumors he'll return as Kang in the MCU and revealed that Kevin Feige didn't respond to the letter he sent him shortly after his trial 2 months ago:
He was abusive to woman. It’s what ended his career. He was sentenced to some anger management thing for a year. Just recently someone leaked him confessing he did abuse the person.
- Comment on Meet the Parents 4 is moving forward and taps John Hamburg to direct 2 months ago:
Can’t really think of what the movie would be called since the last one broke the name convention. Big Fockers?
- Comment on Anyone else found Mickey 17 embarrassingly bad? (Just watched it) 2 months ago:
They are definitely different movies. I find Starship Trooper and Fifth Element’s humor to be a bit more of their time. The best thing I can compare it to quality wise would be like some of the Netflix movies that have come out in the last few years.
- Comment on Anyone else found Mickey 17 embarrassingly bad? (Just watched it) 2 months ago:
Echoing others that this isn’t a horrible movie. I enjoyed the ride. If you want to watch a better version of this movie, maybe try Moon.
- Comment on "Mickey 17" releases digitally on March 25 — only 18 days after its theatrical debut 2 months ago:
I definitely enjoyed watching it in theaters
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 3 months ago:
Even sharing playlists would be great. I wanted to catch up on Clone Wars when The Mandalorian started, but that show is long and full of fillers. So I had to track down lists that told me which ones focused on Madalore and later Ahsoka.
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 3 months ago:
I think it’s slowly moving backwards again. For example, I am starting to see some parmount+ content popping up on Netflix, though it’s about 6 months behind of when it’s released.
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 3 months ago:
I guess the issue is what would they be competing on and what would these premium features be? The more features you add, the less it becomes a place to watch things. That’s why you have Netflix offering games with your sub as well now. You can add multi-viewing parties and more experiences like bander snatch again, but at a certain point it just becomes a platform for general content versus shows and movies.
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 3 months ago:
While I do agree competition is healthy. I don’t think every company should have their own streaming service, it’s not sustainable and means that each company needs to be churning out consistent content. It would make more sense if they just let their content be accessible through the platforms that would dedicate themselves to streaming.
- Comment on When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well? 3 months ago:
Correct. It does not funnel all the conversation into the same post, which is probably most people’s preference.
- Comment on New poster for "A Minecraft Movie" 3 months ago:
Wasn’t expecting Jason Mamoa to get top billing since I assumed Jack Black was the main character.
- Comment on James Cameron will reportedly open Avatar 3 with a title card saying no generative AI was used to make the movie 3 months ago:
I think those semantics are really important during this time when creatives are at war with ai, so the public is aware of what is what, everything is lumped in together. There is a very big leap between blurry images on CSI TV shows figuring out license plates and taking something from let’s say 1080p and making it 4k. I use upscaling quite often in my line of work and we really do draw a line between something like Topaz and something like Adobe Firefly. Upscalers have also been around since maybe 2015, but they weren’t as advanced or popular to use back then.
- Comment on Disney+ Lost 700,000 Subscribers in Final 3 Months of 2024 4 months ago:
At this point I only have disney, because in exchange I get access other people’s accounts like Max and Peacock. Once everyone goes the Netflix route and blocks sharing, all those subs are going out the window.
- Comment on Why do people indoors at public places always listen to their phone at full volume? 4 months ago:
I didn’t know that, could be the case. I just assumed it was the same people that drive around with their windows down blasting music. It’s likely the same crowd that is being described by OP.
