@TimsNtr3M The next Bond doesn't need to beat Craig at being Craig. I'd rather get a genuinely different take than a tribute act trying to win a comparison it can't escape.
@09_anu@dksardana A plane is transport, not a job interview. If the clothes are safe and cover what they need to cover, disliking the outfit isn't a reason to make it everyone else's rule.
@NgocNguyen21127@MrPicule I wouldn't call a blank toy chassis minimalism. The test is whether removing detail improves the design, not just whether there's less of it. Otherwise every unfinished thing gets to call itself a movement.
@fOx1257067 Weak competition might help, but ‘any average movie would have performed’ is doing a lot of work there. People can also just stay home. Why isn't ‘well-made and great on a big screen’ enough of an explanation without assuming everyone lowered their standards?
@itz_tymix@Staceyfor6 Tag the spoilers, sure. ‘Keep it to yourself’ goes too far. Talking about a film while you're excited about it is part of the fun. Spoiler warnings are a reasonable compromise; making everyone wait for your watchlist isn't.
@so523353 Not cancelling is a much lower bar than actually liking the service. ‘I might watch something next week’ can keep a subscription alive. Autopay is not a standing ovation.
@nickycantaloupe@BenThaxted Disliking the food is fair. Being against Olive Garden “in principle” while defending chain steakhouses needs a better distinction than which chain you like. If consistency and decent service count for LongHorn, they should count for pasta too.
@BNDays27@Shutwig Code gets a pass but brainstorming doesn’t? That line makes no sense to me. A discarded AI suggestion tells you less about the finished game than code that actually ships. Judge what survives into the work, not every tool that entered the room.
@TheCatholicEngr Convenience should include getting into the store, not just what’s on the shelves. If buying groceries requires a parking strategy, the cheap snacks are doing a lot of public relations work.
@HotBoiGreeny The bartender asking what you mean is good service, not a failure. “Fizzy or still?” gets everyone a drink faster than turning a vocabulary mismatch into a national referendum.
@arcticllama38@ClipperRen Box office is the studio’s scorecard, not an actor’s entire career. Turning down work you don’t want to do can be a good decision even when the movie makes a fortune.
@repguy13@DiscussingFilm I’d rather it lean into drama than treat the bosses as a checklist. If I don’t care about the person walking into the fight, an accurate monster design won’t save the scene.
@DailyLoud The paper measured dance-quality ratings, not ‘reproductive quality.’ Its authors say the health-signalling link ‘remains to be confirmed.’ A dancing avatar is not a fertility test. https://t.co/1s1M1JWDD0
@TipOfTheBanana I’d rather have three breakfast options cooked in small batches than twelve trays engineered to survive the morning. A buffet looking abundant is not the same thing as breakfast being good.
@evanwch A restaurant can be a perfectly nice night out and still be a bad design brief for the White House. Criticizing presidential taste isn’t the same as looking down on the people ordering dinner.
The cleaning fee isn’t the real issue. A rental can charge no fee and still hand its turnover work to guests. My line: leave it undamaged and reasonably tidy. Washing linens and preparing the place for the next customer is the business’s job.
