I'm here because I like the idea of defederated social media, but I hope there will be further attempts at making even better alternatives.

It's a developing country. You will catch up.

Also we guys in western Europe are happy we are not ruled by Russia or China, and that's because of the USA I think.

I kind of like the US culture, but it's ridiculous how they treat human beings when money and power is on the line.

Interesting how you believe that.

It actually made me think the originals were better. I remember all those scenes with the tunnels... Very scary and claustrophobic.

Clean energy if you don't count the toxic waste.

Knowing Amazon, they probably will dump the waste in the nearest river.

Yes, WinAmp is still around: the audio player of choice for the Napster generation. You know, folks who are in their 40s now and are starting to get middle-aged presbyopia. If they remove their new reading glasses, it might make some of the many skins in the WinAmp Skin Museum look rather better.

At least the napster generation understood that digital copies is not stealing. They understand the concept of a copy.

That's a very good analysis. I just really missed Ripley who felt like a full person, and it was obvious why she was respected in the first movie. Not only is she smart, she also refuses to follow authority by dumb leaders. Her humanity shows through the entire franchise, even when she becomes an alien hybrid!

Also the original movies wasn't pure action. There was a lot of built up, and really believeable characters. What do we have in romulus? I don't remember a single line.

Maybe this is what it's like to become old. Viewing new movies which feels clearly inferior to the ones I watched growing up.
