This is a non-sensical question. On a social media service YOU are the product. You're characterizing the content as the product. But the content is merely the advertisement or bait for users, who are the real product, being sold to advertisers and countless other organizations. Why do you think reddit started charging for API access? Same goes for ads on Facebook, Google services, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Wow so far there's a lot of toxic attitudes around nudity in this thread. Right away I see a few comments conflating nudity with sex. I know y'all are horny motherfuckers, but a naked body is not inherently a sexual object. It's okay to look at people, especially with their consent. I'd assume that because they are in a communal space that constitutes their consent. It's not as if we're even talking about being nude in public, this is just private communal space. While good etiquette is about not making others uncomfortable, no one needs anyone else's consent to exist, clothed or not. Likewise staring at someone, especially to the point of treating them more like an object than a person, is rude even when they are fully clothed. Sure some people are exhibitionist. But, someone can want to be naked and be comfortable being naked around others without being an exhibitionist. So go ahead and look, but make equal time for the person inside by acknowledging them, making eye contact, generally be pleasant, and avoid being threatening or creepy.

I can see I hit a nerve. Y'all got a lot of weird hangups and love to project them onto others.

I mostly go to cinemas to see films that look and feel better in a theatre. Comedy can also be great in a theatre with a good crowd. Laughing along with other people is cathartic. For me comedy is embedded in good writing and editing, but not always fully there is comedy for comedy's sake. In other words, I find myself laughing more, and harder, at funny moments in movies that don't label themselves comedy. I get bored with action movies that take themselves too seriously the same way a movie that a comedy without anything else going for it can wear thin. And the crowds are thin, so going out to laugh with others is often better done at a comedy club or casino than a movie theatre.

I don't think comedy is dying. It's just that, for modern audiences that can watch anything that was ever distributed on-demand, all the low hanging fruit has been plucked. The same old slapstick, schmaltzy rom-coms, and body humor may still bring in some, but it's far from unique or compelling enough to bring in the crowds to what is an increasingly overpriced and underwhelming experience at the theatre. Action, adventure, sci-fi, etc. will always benefit from advances in technology, so that old stories and cliche writing feels shiny and new. Dramas are a showcase of directing and acting skills, so old scripts can come back to life. But the writing of comedy and wit stands alone, benefiting very little from advances in tech or trending celebrities.

Kind of ironic that a flim that fictionalized several scenes (mostly anachronistic clothing and traditions), would inspire the first use of the word documentary via one of its reviews.

These days I try to buy either DRM free flax files. If I really like the art or the artist in addition to wanting to regularly actually listen to as an album, then I may try to buy vinyl + flac files. If it's at a show I'll buy whatever is available that I can play because at that point it's more about the merch than music. I'm probably going to pass on the wax cylinders and I may think long and hard before buying a cassette.

It's not hard, it just isn't particularly efficient or convenient. The standard method is to use a bunch more water that you want to become actual ice, make it in large insulated blocks, then chop at the end. I have a little insulated tray that makes two at a time. They come out pretty clear, but at least half the water used is essentially waste to create a clear cube. The top half being still ice, but full of little bubbles, not clear. If I was throwing a party, as people are want to do on summer weekends, and I wanted many many big clear ice cubes then I'd seriously consider buying a box load.

Before there was AI we had this thing called Photoshop...

Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?

More like working class traitor.

"Sensors" sounds like a magical solution that hasn't been thought through, but the marketing guys already sold it and won't listen to the engineers explaining how difficult it is to actually build such a thing.

I'm no nationalistic fanatic of the flag, but is it really so difficult to understand that the flag is a symbol?

Obviously each flag, be they for nations or other groups, represents more than just a piece of cloth to many people. Taking offence at someone else's identifying with what a flag symbolizes is not okay. But, I tend to look skeptically at worship of any kind of idol, be it flag, cross, or text. That still doesn't mean it's okay to hate or persecute people for their beliefs, even if they appear silly to you and as long as they don't hurt others.

One group can demonstrate their respect for the nation by physically following some rules around the flag and others can demonstrate their loyalty to their ideals of the nation being violated by flying the flag upside down or burning a flag.

A flag or banner is not just a piece of cloth, never has been.
