The rlm guys are very insightful and have great taste in movies. I think the difference is that they do a great job explaining why a movie is entertaining while Ebert was great at explaining why a movie is art.

I would think film criticism is dying as well. Was there a true successor to Ebert? When I think of film criticism now I think of YouTube reviews and not writers who eloquently describe what makes a good movie good.

A social media company that's stagnating typically doesn't have much time to remain viable before they'll give way to the next big platform. I think they only had a few years left before they became the next myspace anyway. T

His mentality might be that it's too late to go back and the company is probably going to fail anyway. So he has to radically change the workforce and the culture there. So he's throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks appare

So I'm assuming you only mean one drink? Because I would think more alcohol would run the risk of people figuring out. Another issue is the anti anxiety effects of alcohol wear off before the interview is over. You're left with a

It seems like he's taking a "burning your ships" approach. So maybe the company can run with a far smaller but more desperate team. What I'm not sure about is how people will get to like social media again. Will it reall

I think these claims are hard to quantify one way or another. I've been threatened with violence for not "supporting our troops" in the past. That being said I think a lot of people are keeping their political opinions to the

While we certainly don't spend more than we make, the fact that I'm not entirely in control of the budget was in the back of my head when I read the article. "Okay, I'll just convince my wife that organic food and privat

Personally I'm just becoming more private about what I say online as well as what I want to share about the family. I just think Facebook reached a tipping point where it became stale, I got sick of political arguments, I started to di

It's definitely true you need to avoid giving unwanted advice to people you care about if you want to stay close to them. On the other hand though, I think the inability to talk openly about problems is why they don't get resolved

I guess what I was trying to say is that for classic consoles, they're more keen on selling collectors edition nostalgia that you play for 15 minutes, then put on your shelf. 4 player consoles that let you play Goldeneye would be expen

I think it's pretty understandable why they didn't bother: analog controllers, licensing issues with rare games and finally, they'd rather people just buy the online expansion pass and play multiplayer Switch instead.

Is everyone using the same version control system? I wouldn't be surprised if some people have code that would get missed if they just had IT pull everything.

I kind of wonder if it's a matter of knowing what you want to say to your heroes when you meet them. Like some people get the same question all the time or are uncomfortable about having to beat fawning fans off with a stick all the ti

You could just skip the bulk of books 7-10 and put yourself on track to finishing. I just skimmed the eventful parts of them and I didn't miss much after starting Knife of Dreams. While I don't avoid long books I would take the &q

Steam deck can be a bit of work doing things like getting epic games to run, file transfers, and setting up the controls for games that aren't fully supported. Many games work flawlessly like they're on switch, though. It depends

Different authors though. Perhaps in their jira you find.... 1. As a customer I'd like to confirm my opinions about how stories are a waste of time. 2. As a customer I'd like to confirm my opinions about how stories are essential

I don't think I implied causation as much as symptoms of decline. In this case we're talking about a large percentage of people who are entering what is historically considered adulthood, 16+, who intend to apply themselves toward

And civilizations since Aristotle have only lasted a few centuries on average. So when adults look at younger generations and see inevitable decline, they might be correct.

The poor use of screen real estate doesn't do it for me: there's a large top panel displaying some system icons but a lot of empty space. On the large bottom panel you can at least select your active window like in the Windows 95

I definitely liked Anathem, but the structure of it seemed odd. Like half the book was world building then the plot happened really fast and it was over. The idea that scholars are extremely concerned about being intellectually corrupted by

A big part of the fun of mass effect is the immersive choose-your-own-adventure decisions it gives you. So no idea how a television series would work unless they could effectively explore moral dilemmas like older star trek, unlike new trek

Amazon, Ms and Google all want to build game streaming services in family room devices, set top boxes and smart tvs. Buying gaming companies with large libraries that constantly produce content definitely gets them part of the way there and

Google says that there are about a billion sharks in the world but only 50k orcas. Meanwhile there are only about 10 humans killed by sharks a year. So zero recorded humans killed by orcas isn't that surprising. I wouldn't persona

While this goes against the intent of the thread, I'll note that only buying a limited amount of lower gravity beer occasionally can be fairly effective in pacing yourself.

The "overall harm scores" y axis ranking is misleading as you can't tell at a glance whether it's harm to an individual or the overall public. I'll just supply the expected response: "I don't think it&#x27

While I certainly hate the "what's up" question, questions post kids with friends are related to their kids, jobs, relationship issues and pop culture video games questions. Honestly, I've had a hard time turning these i
