To each their own. I’m in your boat too, I think.

none

Ah great

it works [by] sending an HTTP request that registers as a “click” to the advertiser

Uh, wait a minute. 🤔

Sending a request also uses bandwidth, you know.

It’s complicated.

There’s a “strict” way and then there’s a “common perception and practice” way. You’re thinking of the strict way.

But yeah, sure. I guess it’s due to the fact that we don’t have a year zero, really, which is counterintuitive for us in the modern era, I suppose. At least for me.

Looked it up now, you’re correct.

Although there are instances of year zero, like with astronomical years.

I can build an IMAX at home too (theoretically), but that’s a very hypothetical situation that isn’t really part of the analogy. 😁 The implication was that the bourguignon is best at a fancy restaurant. 😉

In many Asian countries they do if I am not mistaken

Huh, that’s really interesting ☺️ kinda cute ngl

Who is “we”?

How so? The first century surely started with year 0, the first year. Just like a person is zero years old during its first year. And years 0-99 make up the first century. Then the second century starts at 100-199, and so on. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t feel like this is correct.

I don’t understand how the analogy is wrong if you are describing exactly what I mean. I won’t go to the theaters either if it’s not something spectacular that is enhanced in the cinema in a way that can’t be done at home. Exactly like those movies you mention. And that becomes increasingly difficult for the cinema when I have a 65" OLED with 5.1 surround sound at home. Especially considering the comfort (and price 🏴‍☠️) of watching at home.

Only ever will I go to the cinema with my kids as an outing, or my wife as a date type of scenario. Otherwise it’s just not worth it IMO. At home I can go to the loo, get a snack, talk all I want, sit on my phone during boring parts… List goes on. 😄

Sure. I’d never pay theater money for such an experience though. Like going to a restaurant. One day I don’t want beef bourguignon, some days I want a pack of noodles. But I won’t go to the theaters restaurant to get a pack of noodles.

I don’t ever go to a movie unless I know I’ll like it either (or at least expect to like it), I just know I won’t like his movies, because they are just always so uninteresting because they are too absurd.

And absurd doesn’t need to be a bad thing, but I feel like his movies don’t admit or recognize their own absurdity and they take themselves too seriously. That’s why it becomes cheesy.

🤷‍♂️ What can I say.

😂

We’ll never know… Hey, he might be amazing in it, who knows.

“Knowing is not fun ‘for you’”

Indeed, I did say it was “my problem” 😁

In that case go see a different movie

I will definitely do that 😄 Every single movie his characters are so cheesy and he’s so overly macho it’s just absurd and not believable at all. I feel like it caters to the lower end of the intelligence spectrum, a little bit.

But I am not one to take away someone else’s fun, so I’ll definitely not tell someone not to watch it. But I will never recommend one to anyone. 😅

I started watching Run (2020). I had to stop basically right in the middle. It’s one of those psychological thrillers where there’s a trapper and an escaper, and the movie is just meant to induce anxiety. Gonna pick up the rest of it tomorrow maybe.

Very true in all things

So good 👌

you know exactly what you’re getting

That’s my problem. Knowing is not fun. Being surprised is the fun part.

if the universe around him is interesting

💀 Is it ever
