I am going to go against the (obviously upvoted) grain and say that I do not want this to be a reprise of /r/movies. That is what they did and I am stupidly against reproducing the /r experience. I don’t want community “structure” I want to see what people have to say without conforming to a proscribed way of doing it. Having said that, if you post the thread: “current releases”, “what did you watch”, etc - I would happily engage with you about it.

Thanks for saving me a click. I could tell by the wording it was a likely click-bait but I was intrigued because Tina rocks.

Can’t read the article - it wants me to turn off my ad blocker.

@_Rho_ The article is a puff-piece intended to promote the movie, not anyone’s actual hot take. The actors might have stopped participating in promotion due to the strike but the publicists on the studio payroll will keep finding ways of shilling.

Listen

There is only one way to make people talk more than they care to. Listen. Listen with hungry earnest attention to every word. In the intensity of your attention, make little nods of agreement, little sounds of approval. You can’t fake it. You have to really listen. In a posture of gratitude. And it is such a rare and startling experience for them, such a boon to ego, such a gratification of self, to find a genuine listener, that they want to prolong the experience. And the only way to do that is to keep talking. A good listener is far more rare than an adequate lover.

If you like his writing go to his website http://craphound.com and read some of his books. He has some good stuff - been following him for years.

@Haus I’m less concerned about the potential for homeowner’s mis-use and much more concerned about that data being outside the control of the person who installed it. Personally, I like my smart home stuff to be self-hosted and self-contained and if I ever choose to share it that will be 100% my choice.

@Xylight Hello from kbin.social!

The #federated posts show up in your feed like they’re supposed to. Hover over the post’s author @darkstar and you will see where he posted from.

How can I follow Christian on this kbin platform? I’ve only just joined and don’t know my way around but I feel confident that if he lands on a platform he likes I will like it too so I want to follow after tomorrow.
