So many nerdy references, it is masterfully crafted with love!

Like when he finishes charging early in the movie, he makes the Macintosh boot-up sound. It's so easy to miss those kinds of things, but when you notice them, you really appreciate them.

Breaking Bad was like that - like a love letter to the viewers. So very many shows, most even, just don't give a damn and instead are purely about profit, like Game of Thrones (I hear, never having watched that one), where you can see such things as Starbucks coffee cups or plastic water bottles that break the immersion.

So it makes Wall-E all the more special to have been crafted so extraordinary well.

Are we so certain that it is not a toilet paper roll? :-P

Let's see what is left to cover...

You guys have whole entire inches from the wall to spare?

Indeed, I find that if we don't take care of ourselves, we become a burden to others and can't help anyone, so that's so important to remember (that if we want to help "others", it has to start with ourselves).

A finger to sit on? How wonderful? 👍

Wait... you guys have bathrooms?!

*I* do not, and if there's one, then surely there's more like me? :-P

Moreover, I think it's impressive that you have dedicated so much of your efforts to improving people's experiences here on the Fediverse. Even if people disagree with you on some point - which for myself I am aware of nothing but even if there were - that would still be true. You probably don't get thanked often, so I offer it, and I hope that you will accept.

But also, I hope that you find a way to show kindness to yourself too:-). Our families may have royally fucked us up for life, but we can do different, for ourselves! Or at least, I very much (desperately) hope that can be true.

Naw. It needs jeans. Or beans. Or both.

 

NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Social media platform Reddit, which helps its users “dive into anything,” may finally plunge into the public markets. The 19-year-old company made over $800 million in sales last year, at least 20% more than in 2022, according to Bloomberg. But a dearth of profit this late into its existence portends the lack of a real business model, suggesting it’s still not ready for public company life.
