> Best way is to talk about books, games, TV shows, etc. It's something you can easily expand upon once you find a common ground I can't think of a duller conversation. I'd prefer the one you're complaining about. At least there are feelings invested, if a tad bit one-note. The last thing I want to learn about a person is a laundry list of media they watched and liked. I only enjoy talking culture with someone who is in the industry or otherwise has a deeper relationship with it than just watching / reading one thing after another. Just go join a discord if you want that.

When was the last time a movie made you cry?

  That scene in Spiderman where they brought the other two back and they were talking about loss. Bawled like a baby. Not that I watch a lot of movies, but when I do, they do make me emotional from time to time. I'm a sucker for a well-told, interesting good wins over evil tale, especially with a female protagonist. Not like Hollywood can do those anymore. Indies are usually the way. They gotta make Superman into basically a villain. Thankfully they haven't fucked with Spiderman yet. But I bet some dipshit will in the near future. Anime is better, but you asked for movies.

  Thanks for the clarification. Both of your preferred messaging client and your interminable pedantry.

    Matrix is not a client, it's a protocol. Synapse is the widely used matrix server and element, which I also use, is the widely used client

      Didn't ask, don't care.

        You cared enough to say that. I just can't help it when incompetent people post on subjects that they have no clue about. Ignorance is in abundance on HN, I am not surprised
