Not sure if this counts, but CGP Grey. The frequency of the videos was always a joke, but the most recent video is a 3 month old paywalled vid of an early preview for a video still unreleased publicly. I still enjoy the videos when they’re released, so it’s not the quality, but the channel is clearly on autopilot. I hope everything’s ok with him and maybe he’s just using YouTube as passive income now that he hit it big?

The one that got me was trying to make a grill scrubber made entirely in the US, failing to source all the parts domestically, being somewhat xenophobic in the process, and then having the audacity of selling the thing for $80 (or more) when the exact product exists already for half the price. At some point the whole point of the video changed from “rebuilding manufacturing in America” to “China bad”. I assume the attempt was in defense of the Trump tariffs, but the takeaway is the US is not in a position to manufacture things on a small scale, and throwing tariffs on it won’t change and people will just have to pay more to import items since they can’t be made locally.

I agree with you, it’s more campy and an homage to the 80s, not a parody. I will agree that they should have probably ended it in 2019 or aged the kids with their actual age, but that would go against the goonies vibe of kids on an adventure. Compared to the 5th season of the Walking Dead, this season is much better.

That’s awesome, thanks for explaining.

if you’re breaking even on the subscription + discount concessions, wouldn’t it be more cost effective to not subscribe and not feel obligated to go to the movie if you don’t or can’t want to? Also are you limited to 2 free movies a month or could you go more if you wanted to?

From what I heard, they screen tested both versions of the movie, the directors version and the one edited by the trailer company, and both tested equally the same. Rather than defer to the director, they chose to take the scenes which tested the best in each version of the edit, and combine those together into the mess we saw.

I think your best bet is to disable suggesting any contacts from the system settings. The setting is called “Show contacts when sharing content” and will affect all apps. It’s not ideal, but there’s no way I can tell to ignore/dismiss specific contacts from the share menu.

Y’all heard of WorldCom?

it’s like poetry, it rhymes

if anything, boycotting US goods AND accepting tourism dollars is worse for the US Economy, so keep doing that.

FWIW with virus total, you don’t even need to upload the file, just provide the hash to see if is known to virus total. The name may be auto generated which wouldn’t help much in searching, but the hash is based on the file contents.

Thank you for this post!!! I didn’t see the other ones and you were not on my blocklist yet.

I think they’re seeing the success with K-Pop Demon Hunters sing along in theaters, and viral moments like Chicken Jockey as the future of cinema, which means this is the content they’re going to evolve into producing.

Did he really ever have a heart though?

I mean every movie before Endgame was an attempt to bring people to Marvel as well.

Bortles!

This is in regard to motion smoothing which is enabled by default on modern TVs, and give the effect of a soap opera look. People think that it makes the video look better, but it’s just adding fake frames to display at a higher frame rate. Not a lot of people like this: https://variety.com/2022/film/news/motion-smoothing-how-to-shut-off-1235176633/

To make matters worse, all TV brands have their own name for this feature. This post is saying that when you go home for the holidays, this is the name of the motion smoothing in the settings to turn off for a better viewing experience the way the filmmaker intends.
