Not me!

Yes. Why do so many actors believe playing other characters gives them exclusive insights into modern life and politics in particular?

Yes!

True, true.

it's been banned in montana usa

It's not overrated, it's hugely underestimated. It's a very shady, spying software designed to do just that in the first place. If someone wants the full thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/fxgi06/comment/fmuko1m/?context=1 Quoting a person who reverse engineered the app: I'm a nerd who figures out how apps work for a job. Calling it an advertising platform is an understatement. TikTok is essentially malware that is targeting children. Don't use TikTok. Don't let your friends and family use it.

This 1000 times this.

YES YES YES

Doesn't even need to be designer clothing or electronic brands. It can also apply to food and drink items. No Name, or generic store branded food or drink items are oftentimes comparable to the big box store equivalent.

yeah, im not trying to pay a ridiculous amount of money for some shoes or something. i dont understand the people that do.

Overpriced USED Items. Like, if you wore it umpteen million times, then donate it, the Thrift Stores slap a price on that same item $5.00 Below New Retail Price...and ppl buy it!? I'm pointing finger of shame at Big Name (allegedly) Non Profit Thrift Stores... you know who I'm talking about...

Crystals are beautiful and fascinating structures. They also have many technological and scientific uses, such as keeping time and focusing lasers. They do not contain mystical energy. They are not Gandalf’s staff, or Yoda’s lightsaber, or Hermione’s wand. They are not magic. (Also, this comment will just bounce off of willfully deaf ears.)

I've actually never heard of this

Ah yes, the "healing with (2000 euros) stones thing"

I call it "Unreality TV because of how hours of raw video are highly edited to create false conflict

It wouldn't be so bad if people would view more than just the same one that reinforces their beliefs and becomes their echo chamber. In the US all the "major" television media 24/7 "news" is controlled by one major political "side", with maybe one notable exception. I make it a point to read six newspapers first thing every morning (3 I consider decidedly 'lefty', 3 'righty') to help balance my exposure - that may be too much for most, but I'm a news/politics/history/finance junkie and like to be informed.

I saw three retired journalists on tv discussing the future of their former profession. They didn't slam anybody or any network, but the one thing they all said is "if you're attending journalism school to get a job that pays you millions of dollars a year to host your own show you're not a journalist. You're the host of an entertainment show." There's a lot of truth in that statement and it's not very entertaining.

I think this is actually a recipe for happiness. Stop hating, let others have their opinions and remember the happy things.

You can't just tell someone to "be happy". We can't control our emotions, only what we do with them.

Instagram, TikTok, and BeReal are way overrated.

Social media in general, was way better before it all became mainstream

Everything offends me. Wine wine wine. Cancel everything!!!!

Yes, love and friendship :D

I miss good sitcoms.

Screenwriter here, I kind of prefer stories like that... but your opinion is valid (btw I'm going to be downvoted into submission but still, I need to say this)

All these remakes and sequels reflect a lack of originality, even though I liked the 1994 version Little Women, which was the third remake, but I hated the fourth, that came out four years ago, with the constant jumping back and forth in time and things that never happened in the book. I also dislike remakes where white characters are replaced by blacks, men replaced by women, etc.

Most live action adaptations lose something important in adapting things like cartoons or anime... A great recent example is the cinematic adaptation of Knights of the Zodiac (or Saint Seiya, if you would rather go by it's Japanese name). The movie doesn't have the charm of the original anime series.

Nope, you totally missed the driving force behind remakes and action adaptations. These are done in order to recycle and protect the intellectual property (IP) involved from aging out of copyright and into the public domain. So the characters and storylines in feature length animated films then become costumes and scripts of Broadway stage productions or TV shows that then become live action screenplays, etc.

I know lots of people who live in houses that look like hotels, and although it's comfortable and "aesthetic", I much prefer the coziness of my own imperfect 100-year-old home, thank you. Personal opinion.

I disagree completely! I love the modern contemporary architecture and would be thrilled to live in a concrete and glass and wood house! I don't care for the cluttered house overflowing with knick-knacks and ruffle lace curtains.

Yes! I hate seeing all this. Its pointless. Make your own story if you want to diversify something.

I very much not understand that people are seriously considering dead machines' feelings, while we still are way behind our knowledge in the common treatment of nonhuman animals, which have the features that make it known beyond doubt that they can feel joy, suffer and all that - while it not even is clear if any technological entity is able to feel anything at all, but we tiptoe around that already. We shouldn't, and if we were able to make machines feel, we also shouldn't. There's conscious beings that are completely ignored, look down upon, even those who dare raise their voice on their behalf are looked down upon and, somehow, perceived as the evil party, while those who cause the atrocities they needlessly have to endure just grow rich and richer - and none of them has the option to just not want to be killed - or just not want to hear what their consumerism is causing, for that matter. Obnoxious on at least two levels, and these maxed out, all the AI-sensitivity is!

If I could upvote this 100 times, I would.

i deleted all my friends and family on facebook 3 years ago. now i just use it for myself. like support groups for my chronic illnesses, entertaining cat videos ( i don't watch much tv ), things that interest me. i'm an introvert and also don't get out much due to my chronic pain, so facebook and youtube entertain me.

I don't agree. Why? I have a couple of chronic health problems, and are member of some support groups on Facebook. It has been absolutley gold to have others to talk to that goes thru the same things. It's way more easier then before Facebook (and yes, I am that old).

LOL my daughter's grandpa calls it a "dumbphone".

I mean, I could think of a few functions a tampon could provide that would be useful.
