I felt the same. The movie didn’t speak to me, not even 2 % of all the impact that Midsommar or Get Out had on me.

But I don’t blame Hereditary itself. I have watched really really bad horror movies, forced by friends and family, and Hereditary has at least good acting… It’s probably that we simply enjoy other things.

I blame it on the fact that these paranormal horror movies tend to be relatively pointless, or their point isn’t really portrayed as well as they think it does. You can’t reflect on a deep philosophical thought if you know you are going to get jumpscared in a few seconds.

Having said all this, I must say the movie “Talk To Me” (2022) is one of the few instances of me enjoying a paranormal movie. Still has deep messages throughout the movie, IMO. Hopefully you’ll like it too.

Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

Then there’s me who installs VLC and calls it a day. I mean… It does the job perfectly fine.

reflector will choose mirrors depending on your specific orders.

You have not specified your orders here, so I’m guessing you haven’t launched it properly.

Check the Wiki and launch it with your specific needs. Is it speed? Is it updatedness? Global mirrors? Local?

I watched it. A fever dream. Honestly I don’t even think the director expected any more than that.

Also there is no casino algorithm showing you what big data knows will make you stay for a while.

In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

To be honest, I’m waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.

I believe forgejo is getting there, but it’s still not possible.

If you are a student, you should be able to organize with some of your classmates or friends.

Also, maybe consider LanguageTool instead of Grammarly, at least it’s not fully closed source.

I wish I could have that. I loved it soooo much it’s stuck in my mind. Might be because of the podcast about the show that made me recall everything.

I’ll rewatch it anyways before S02.

What about stopping the bullsh*t of TLD nonsense and doing something like crates.rust-lang.org? It’s the most sensible solution.
