For the last one, another alternative would be “You’re so resilient, it would take a moon sized meteorite to take you down for good.”

This is such a well written piece, it’s closer to a serious article than a blogpost

I was right there as well. I saw creators I trust putting out stuff talking about the state of social media today (Technology Connections on YouTube in particular) and that was around when I started diving back into bluesky, then after a little more reading around, mastodon and lemmy. Never looked back after that.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t end the same way

But they always manage to rugpull out

In No Country For Old Men, they mention this killing in a throwaway line (it involves contract killing and stars Woody Harrelson)

If only Lemmy were ready for c/antimeme (and the confusingly adjacent c/bonehurtingjuice)

Same with movies, like how the Venom movies have higher Rotten Tomatoes scores with each installment, despite getting worse as they went along.

Tbf, there is often a proportional reward (multiple seasons of good TV being quite a bit longer than the movies that get good).

Also, with how pacing, budgets and casts work in the industry, a movie often ends up having more in terms of emotional investment and new information than an equivalent length of TV. So the effort to watch a movie is not the same as watching an hour and a half of TV (on average).
