Our pages are on Google, what I meant was that links out from our website don't increase a site's page rank. Google (used to?) look at how often a site gets linked to from other websites and those sites got a higher rank, so what spammers are looking for are a way to pretend that a site is genuinely linking to them to get a higher page rank. We've told google "don't use these links to increase page rank" tho tbh that probably doesn't do much Lol
R-rated action movies don't really get made anymore. The home video market that sustained them has significantly shrunk. Casual movie going where people would just come to the theater and see something actiony doesn't happen as much. The stars that made them got too old. So yeah, anything that would have been in that space usually gets pushed down to PG-13, or just is really bad.
So yeah, people finding an actually likable dumb movie for adults, in this mix of repetitive kiddie franchises, with a cool star in the center was like ice water in hell. It hearkens back to a previous mode of consumption that had a little more magic to it.
Of course, they immediately turned it into a franchise that removed the mystery from the world building and makes the tone more generic. OH WELL. The movies are still pretty good.
There's thousands of dollars worth of things that people used to buy that got replaced by cell phones: personal cameras and camcorders, portable game machines, PDAs, car GPS systems, mp3 players, etc. Bluetooth speakers have replaced non-networked hi-fi except for niche stuff, I feel like complete replacements happen all the time in audio equipment. I bet if I went back to a 60s kitchen I'd find so much stuff we never use anymore. Go back even further and life looks totally different.
Consumption habits keep changing all the time, and we're gonna see a lot of things die as resources dry up.
you can be so lonely (or sad etc) that it's painful. the literal same thing as physical pain!
yeah they're definitely the same thing, when I was Going Through It (TM) I took acetaminophen every few hours and it helped. big part of why painkillers get abused is for emotional pain.
you can't tell people "i'm in pain." it sounds like someone "just wants attention"
having people in your life that you can talk about shit with is like the most important thing. and like it can't just be one person. like yeah you can't just tell anyone that you're pain but you need people you really can do that with
