Yeah, but for me as a kid, seeing those kids grow up, discover and learn more about their world, while I was growing up, discovering and learning about my world was what made the show so relatable and good. And I still watch the original to get back that sense of wonder and surprise even today. Because even as adults, we can be so sure something is right, wrong, important, impossible, worthless, etc. And be totally wrong, right, anything in between and, most importantly, totally focusing on the wrong thing and missing the bigger picture.

It showed me that evil people sometimes just are senselessly evil, but mostly have just different convictions, beliefs, upbringing or information that makes them think they are the good guy. And they think we are the bad guy. But while what they do may be not senseless evil, we still must try to stop them. There can be logic to evil, but it's still evil.

For me as a small kid, that was a big thing to learn. And obviously I understand that as an adult, I can't get that from the show now, but I want the feeling that if I watched this show as a kid, i would have gotten both of those things.

And honestly, the first episode didn't give me much hope for either of these. That, plus the cringy writing just killed all my enthusiasm. I will probably try episode 2 some time. But, I'm not excited anymore.

For me it's the lack of interesting communities to browse. Everything active seems to be about, Linux, programming, politics, Star Trek or anime. Some midtier memes. That's basically a list of subreddits I had blocked on reddit. And it's all that exists here.

Edit: I just counted. I'm subscribed to 179 communities. In the first 50 posts on my subscribed feed (basically 2 days worth of content), there are 7 communities featured. The first post that does not mention above topics and isn't a meme is post no 15. In total, there are 4 posts in the first 50 posts that do not mention any of those topics. 2 of those are interesting to me. That's just not a good enough ratio.

I wonder what's considered a power user. Because I got one, and I wouldn't have considered myself one...

To be fair, I haven't gotten to more than Ep1 yet, because ep.1 was so bad I lost all excitement. The visuals are nice, and I personally don't mind little lore inconsistencies like flying that much, but the dialogue was really really bad, and I did not like frontloading the whole airbender genocide plot. Yes, 90% of the viewers probably have seen the original and know the plot, but it still robs me of the experience of discovering the truth and learning about Aang together with sokka and Katara. Idk, I just really like the structure of the original show, and I didn't appreciate the swap.

Government usually don't decide what tops the charts tho. That's sales numbers

Sponsored by who? Huh...

Wow, das ist schon ein schwieriges Konzept, gut dass es sowas gibt, aber ich kann mir vorstellen dass es auch grenzfälle gibt die sich selbst so (14,5 Stellen auf 5 Kinder) nicht sicher betreuen lassen. Aber hut ab dass sie es versuchen. Ich hoffe sie kommen nicht in so einen Fall.

They look great. What materials did you use?

I don't think this these numbers include work at all. Because none of the articles the graphic is based on mention work at all, nor do their sources it seems. And also, the sources talk about "time spent connected to the internet", so streaming would count, but not TV, which is also a screen. So average real screen time could be even higher.

My door is just really far from my bed, and opening it to then see someone I don't want to see is just too much effort. And everybody I want to see knows to text ahead.
