They're funny without being a try-hard
Sweet reference!!
I loved using Reddit Is Fun, and I couldn't stand the amount of bots on Reddit in recent years
I love this!!
Can confirm, zero clue
Do.you have the article without the subscription/ paywall?
I don't think their exoskeletons allow for that, I think they just grow in size as opposed to getting disproportionate weight gain like a big belly
Giant space squid my ass, it's probably just Milhouse
Except every time I turn it on it's asking to be updated before I can watch TV. It's a nuisance. Still a big upgrade on my old TV which was like a 32" and pretty old, but it's still irritating.
Wow that's insane, I thought only rodents had teeth that constantly grew like that?
I'd be the same tbh, in Ireland here, and I'm so fed up with constant updates for my TV 🙄 yeah it's handy that the remote has buttons for Disney+ and Prime and Netflix, but honestly it's not needed at all. Same as not wanting Bluetooth headphones or earphones, I don't want to have to worry about not being able to use earphones because they need charged 🙄 hard enough keeping my phone charged often enough without carrying around a charger pack. There's a lot of inconvenience with 'convenient' products.
I think that it's a few factors. Some movies that were longer started to be accepted, like the summer blockbusters creeping longer and longer and people not complaining much about the length. Then streaming picking up more and more, and with habits of binging it became apparent people were happy to sit for longer and longer times watching content (shows, documentaries, movies) and then with COVID and people looking for things to occupy their time longer content was welcomed more.
Though with your list of things you don't like in films I'm not sure you really like films at all? Talking scenes are usually important for dialogue exposition, reflecting the characters mindsets etc, but why do you hate fight scenes and comedy scenes? What kind of movies do you like?
