By the way, installing Adguard (or something similar to cut out ads device-wise) helps to decrease the shit they are trying to install dramatically. Highly recommend. Family link works for me so far, though the kids are a bit younger.

Stickers like “Do not attempt to dry your cat in the microwave oven” are there for a reason.

It must taste like sadness

The meme is great, but. For all of you out there who did not try it yet: never, never shave your balls! Trim it.

Mostly agree, but. As far as I understand it, for TSLA the majority of the bull run is due to relatively small investors riding the hype. Big stakes are indeed rare to change hands, and mostly outside the marketplaces. Should the small guys really change their mind on the stocks, they (or at least the first wave) will easily dump it, and that will move the market by a lot. We can probably see it in YTD results, but still there is no dumping, in my opinion. Just a correction, so far.
Personally would not buy now, though )

Judging by the stock value - not at all. Enough ppl are THAT optimistic.

Would that not be illegal?

However strong is my desire for DJT to tank, the statement “stock market is reality” does not reflect the said reality. It is the definition of fantasy, where valuations are driven by nothing fundamental. Only beliefs and expectations matter, and these change daily. Say, if Trump actually manages to win the election - and there is a terrifyingly high chance for that, - this joke of a company can actually skyrocket in valuation, as someone with money can try to buy his favour. Not that it will hold high for long, of course - just saying that manipulation is a reality (see what i did?).

Not really easy if he does not have the actual money. Which, it seems, he does not.

I may have used unclear and incomplete wording, but it is directly relevant: whoever delivered a box office last time will be in the cast of the next movie. This is not a form of art, this is a business that involves $$$$$$$, so yes, opportunities are severely limited. Generalisation, I know, but seems legit to me.

My opinion re talented actors stands: I do want to see more of them, not less - just in the pictures that are not stifled by the whatever template brought the cash in the last season.

Went to see a movie recently (Dune is good, or at the very least pretty!), there were trailers before as usual. Out of 6, 4 were sequels, 1 was based on a successful game franchise and the last one was a movie about making a movie with constant breaking of the 4th wall. Or at least it looked like it. That will keep me away for this year, thank you very much.

I believe your main point is about giving opportunities to the new generations. Hard agree here, and lets start in politics first!

I’d prefer a solution that includes both. This is my main gripe with Disney (and the rest of big guys, but mostly them): they just bought out everything and everyone thus killing the competition. Viewers’ time available to watch a movie and cash they are prepared to pay for it is limited, so now only a generic sh…stuff actually reaches the screens. All to make shareholders happy, very much against the interests of the public. Lets see if the market can solve this.

We may have a very different opinion on who a talented actor is then. ) Talented businessman is not equal to a talented actor, just a popular one that can sell.

Strongly agree with nepotism being bad, but why would talented actors/artists retire? They live through their performance, and we the people enjoy watching.

It also brought in a handsome box office. Does not mean it is a good movie (it was properly horrible in my view, could not watch it, but some of the reviews were fun!), just that people with tastes different to mine exist in numbers. From what I can see about the new release, we won’t be able to use this defence here.

Meaning they’d better ramp it up a little closer to $12m daily to get there on time. That is, if the platform do not wake up and enforce its own rules.
