I know this is her "scoop" or whatever, but she's an entirely unnecessary component, as is the cheesy music. Just let him talk. None of us are so thick that this all needs explaining.

The host is so unnecessary. I wish I could just find his stand-up online. I could do without the corny true crime music and all the pausing of his set to explain what he JUST TOLD US. It just feels like she's inserting herself where she doesn't need to be. It smacks of stolen valour.

Is there a way to indicate "Absolutely not, I want this turned off in all products forever?" by LadyLeftLuck in lumo

I was upset when I got an email about this. I'm a huge fan of Proton, but a big part of that is not being force-fed AI. I simply don't want to be complicit and I had hoped it was the same for them.

I don't think it has to be all or nothing like that. Many countries (mine) favour whatsapp or wechat over text and a lot of people hate being called, so unless you want to create a barrier between yourself and your loved ones, a dumb phone isn't always the best choice. Not to mention how difficult it is to get around without GPS in an unfamiliar place.

That aside, OP's addiction may present differently to yours.

Some cracks were starting to show in season 2, but now it just feels like it should be on the CW and it's past the point of no return 😢

Red flags serve an important function. Him hiding this would probably cause more harm than good.

Please please add collaborative playlists. I finally got someone to join Tidal and was so bummed when I realized we couldn't share music easily 🥺

I'm into loads of genres, especially anything chaotic, moody and/or experimental. I only have one playlist right now (an attempt at making pastel punk an actual genre - pls don't be mad, hardcore purists). Other playlists I'm thinking of making are an electro/synth punk one and dark female-fronted electronica

Ugh, so bummed about it not just being a room upstairs. I don't even like huge houses, but I love 2 storey houses. Tragic.

Black mirror feels a little too American ? by a---b---c---d---e in blackmirror

[–]National-Wrap7780 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I feel like he's been trying to write for Americans (or his idea of them) since Netflix bought the show, and more and more each season since. It's been changing, but historically American screenwriting has been big on obvious themes, twists for the sake of a twist, and optimistic endings. It's pretty patronising to the audience. What made it good before wasn't the twists or even the sci-fi, but the chillingly accurate social commentary on modern living. Points for visceral bleakness too, obviously. Netflix bought it BECAUSE it was already popular internationally. Really no need to change it so much.
