This isn't "coffee is hot" though. For naive internet users, this is more equivalent to "coffee will give you small pox". You really don't need to defend Google here.

It's fun to reminisce on what the world was like when you were a kid. This is literally for those same kids, now that they're adults. You may not hold any nostalgia but surely you can see the appeal of it.
Further, kids who do see it being opened will find it interesting. I was born right on the tail end of dial up and VHS but I remember thinking mums records and cassettes were, like, the coolest.
Completely agree with your last two sentences, mostly. I can't personally call it the best movie of its kind just because I don't watch a lot of movies in the same vein. But you're right that it's hard to compare across genres, and the movie was definitely far better than I expected. I think the last couple of years have generally had some great releases.
I've felt very doom and gloom about the team lately, and I think it's because life has been tough that I'm leaning into the results of arsenal, and the other teams I support, a little more.
With that bias in mind, I really think we need three points from this game. I don't think we can afford to lose, even if it's down to PGMOL decisions we just need to do enough to win or we don't deserve the trophy.
I saw some shitty Facebook post about how bad Gabi, Gabi saka has been across the front this season because they've only scored 9 goals but it's right. We can't expect to compete for, or win, a title without a consistent front 3.
Please help me be optimistic...
I think they mean more user friendly than plain Ubuntu.
I think it deserved to do better at the box office but I disagree calling it that good, primarily by counterexample (which I'll get to). It had an entertaining cast, an entertaining plot and some good twists but it wasn't unpredictable and the audience it was best for was the audience who recognised the constant homages to the experience of playing DnD - my primary example is the scene of the main character breaking out of prison completely unnecessarily.
The movie was made by Hasbro to sell dungeons and dragons (which, to be fair, you do mention) and I think as a fan of the ttrpg it did a great job of capturing that experience as a movie. I can't call it the film of the year though, let alone the decade.
What makes you say it's better than, for example, Blade Runner 2049 or Avengers Endgame, both being movies similarly sprouting from established brands? I would argue Dune is significantly better (talking about movies with a brand) also.
Outside the established brand space, you see movies like JoJo Rabbit, Marriage Story and Power of the Dog. All of my examples have been off arbitrary top 10/top 50 lists of the last 5 or last 10 years and I'm honestly curious about why you think the DnD movie beats all of them?
Edit: in saying that, upvoting because this is almost certainly an unpopular opinion
Yep, I'm seeing a bunch. You might be having Federation issues
Man can't catch a break
You're joking??? :(
I think this was a misunderstanding of a bit of shitty functionality in threads. If you had Instagram and made a linked threads account, you would see follow suggestions for people who hadn't made an account yet. It was basically "if this person makes a threads account I want to be following them". I don't believe it meant those suggested people had a shadow account or anything like that though. Still sketchy and probably drove inorganic growth, but I believe the number of users is counting the number of people opting into opening an account.
It's just naturally going to be incredibly high, because so many people use Instagram and would've been exposed.
So good lol! I'm really looking forward to seeing how these play out over the season hahaha. I feel like the Newcastle game last year where the ball was only in play for 49 minutes or something stupid would've had a similar look to it
I don't think it'd be all that uncommon for any player in the second half of their career to need painkillers to get through a game
