Free speech shouldn't be a thing and the countries that go furthest with this "right" are dying because of it (looking at you, USA).

We also need people sharing their niche interests and creating discussion... Reddit thrives on these small communities that only find an accessible entrypoint on their platform.
Streaming services have had a noticeable negative impact on adults, in my experience most notably Gen Xers, which I see abandon lifelong hobbies to consume more netflix slop. We just aren't meant to have so many hours of passive entertainment available at the tip of our fingers
The Dark Knight and It part 1. Both great pop culture movies, the highlights for me were Harvey Dent on Batman and Bev on It, both cool performances and characters
It's based off the best selling game ever with one of, if not the most dedicated and obsessed fanbase, and appeal to children. The Minecraft IP made so many people millionaires with content creation, it shouldn't be a surprise that the same consumers would go see the official movie

A ton of videogames I never ended up playing lmao
Getting married about this time next year
