I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.

I just checked it out last night, i had a feeling it was a fun project for the actors, regardless of the overall quality, i wanted to see how they enjoyed performing.

To be honest i didn't hate it. It was longer than it should be, sucked itself off while also having awkward theater kid feeling moments. But i didn't find it as disjointed as everyone talked about, if you watch some media that's figurative you'll be fine, it's mostly more or less just a linear narrative following the main characters.

Honestly it wasn't the worse use of my time, for me. My partners watched with me and one left feeling frustrated at the conclusion (no spoilers) and felt their time was wasted, while the other just could not have their attention held, there were a lot of 'i am deep' shots that if you dont enjoy that you just wont.

All that is to say I didn't pay anything for it, so i had less reason to come in with any expectations. Oh, and I never found I liked the Godfather or his other "classics" so i came in expecting an old man's passion project and that's what i got. The actors felt like they had a blast so i couldn't help watching the whole thing for them.

All and all, if you can see it for free and appreciate it for what it was (a fun bad movie) i think it's fine. If anything i found the ending to be a bit saccharin for a movie that tried to be dark? Some of the parts wrapped up ridiculously im still kind of stunned.

I think the issue people arguing with you that you don't seem to get is that not everyone does want it to stop.

You seem blind to that reality that there is a large portion who arent even looking or talking that people are dying.

Who think what is going on and continuing is fine, or even good or right. And those people are in the positions to even try to limit any of it, and wont.

You're not arguing honestly if you really claim the reason no one in power speaks against it is because it's too hard? That seems really unlikely doesn't it? "It's difficult and we're looking at legal options" and "we will continue to arm and defend them" are wholly different.

I would think you'd understand needing to stop and fight for justice is a little more youthful than moving on, not putting a stake in something that's really objectively a waste of your time and energy vs organizing your own space that accomplishes what you want?

Or is it easier to white knight and try and demand other spaces cater to you specifically?

Explicitly you were upset you were properly moderated, then grew indignant. The internet doesn't exist to make you comfortable, especially in your errors. Now, at this point, you're just kind of the stereotype "takes online so seriously they're the other side of the troll horseshoe" because i don't think you would grandstand so hard in a public space about being told you made a mistake.

Of course, maybe you would and have lived a privileged life where everyone always bent to you, and that's another situation entirely. Being uncomfortable for the first time can be upsetting, and tbe internet does allow you to rant in ways i don't think you would in a real dynamic with people you saw as real and equals in their own space that you entered voluntarily.

Do you typical get defensive when you make mistakes and people correct you or do you find this particularly hard not to feel like your ego was attacked?

The people here do like to be snarky, but welcome to the internet? Especially when someone makes themselves an amazing target by sulking or pouting. Kids always love to pick on the kid with no emotional regulation, and humans dont change much from childhood.

Lemmy is a little hard to understand at first and I am sure plenty of people get embarrassed, but do you ever find you catch a lot of flies with that vinegar or does it just make you feel better to act out?

The bimbofication of the chat bots has been weird to watch. I played with Replika back when it was an egg billed as "a chat bot you teach to chat how you want" more than a romantic parter.

Were they ever good conversationalists? No, but if you're someone who likes to externally talk things through they could be a fine echo of a generally positive generic person.

Now they feel so gross and desperate/pleading it feels weird to interact with them.
