Agreed. That movie still gets me.

Rewatched it recently and as they keep getting deeper and deeper and more cut off, it just continues to be tense.

Probably Kid A, although I have memories so firmly attached to it that I don’t know that I’d want to.

In prison!

Such an incredible line.

I understand how, in retrospect, it may feel like it isn’t groundbreaking, but do consider that before Die Hard, there really wasn’t anything quite like it.

A quote straight from Wikipedia:

It is considered to have revitalized the action genre, largely due to its depiction of McClane as a vulnerable and fallible protagonist, in contrast to the muscle-bound and invincible heroes of other films of the period.

While it did sort of fall apart and away from what made it great in the later sequels, I think it’s important to put the film into the context of when it was released and what it did to the genre.

All that to say, Die Hard fucking rules.

I’m guessing “presumed human remains” means something close to “goo plus bones, we think”.

For those wondering, the other two are Minnesota & New York.

1000%.

I’ve noticed across platforms, posts, texts, etc.

My guess is that there’s been a slow infiltration of “AI powered” autocorrect across the industry.

Other than that, I don’t really have a good answer to the broad, sweeping degradation of autocorrect.

But you’re definitely not the only one.

Seventeen years is wild!

Tell me about it! It was hard nuking 17 years worth of content–effectively my online identity–but it was the right thing to do.

FWIW, from a Reddit old timer, Lemmy feels a LOT closer to those early days than whatever is calling itself Reddit these days.

I personally resigned from a subreddit I founded and moderated for 11 years. Had nearly 300k subscribers but enough is enough.

Reddit isn’t like it was when I started using it 17 years ago and it’s not going g. Ack.

Fuck Spez.

Feels like Reddit way back in the day, honestly.

I’m talking like 17 years ago way back.

Loving it! So much fun, silly content!
