It's a shame you cannot see bacteria with naked eye!

You'd need some kind of a bacteria alarm system!

What doesn't work out in the movie?

Not made easy 😬

Lol wut?
Are you implying that the movie is terrible?

Obviously because I enjoy the movie and because I want to share my annual watching ritual with her 😂

.

I don't like or dislike those scenes any more or less than the rest of the movie. When concerning the movie's plot - the torture you mentioned has a function that builds the character further in a certain direction. It also determines what will happen next. Just like what any other scene would do.

I also point out just in case that I don't approve torture.

At least I'd hope that they informed the driver/car owner about the AI system in their car and - if it so is - that The AI could decide against their life.
Then they "just" need to decide is it worth it to get such a car with such an AI system or not.

Not telling them that their car has such an AI would be unethical, to say the least.

Cool!

Ideonella sakaiensis would be the name of the bacteria.

I try to watch the move annually!
This time with my girlfriend for the first time!

Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don't recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there's a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

.

I don't buy any subscriptions. I wouldn't have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

But don't let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.

I think it’s the same reason YouTube can keep shooting itself in the foot and still thrive: it’s where all the eyeballs are concentrated now.

Yeah...it is difficult to jump ships and try out another service - even when the other service is generally a better option than the previous one - if you don't get an audience big enough to even bother starting with the otherwise better service.

I'd just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

I don't go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it's also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you're right with that one.

Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is "more visible" to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.

I feel mostly indifferent about not being able to delete an app without providing feedback to the reason(s).

But to provide feedback to delete an app that was installed for you WITHOUT your knowledge...mate! Not okay!

I was pretty shook over one book I read, plunging me into sadness for about a week.
I listened at sad piano music and made many custom pictures with this website using the book (cover) themed art 😂

I love wasting spending lots of time on the computer.

I'm friends with Beeminder.
I started at one minute less per day. At the moment I get one day in the countdown when I'm off the machine for 165 minutes. I raise the value when I feel it - slowly and steadily.

Reminds me of one video. I recall his friends made a prank. The dude woke up from drinking too much in a hospital room where the nurse said that the had been comatose for many years.
To be clear, this wasn't the case - it was just a prank.

...but I bet experiencing that would put some people to think.

I do hope you are wrong on that 😅

This feels like a neat prompt for a horror story!

There was an epic short video in ::: spoiler spoiler Reddit :::

.

that further delved into this function.

I haven't tried but -

I once asked what would be a real life equivalent of those small chores you find in video games that earn you a little gold.
Someone answered that driving people around.

Easy.
Poop flavored chocolate.

Chances are, it would be more healthy (unless deliberately using poop itself as an ingredient).

Depends also on the attitude, I think.

I haven't met many people in this "they suck"-mold of yours. The contrary however...
