    I had this terrible dream that I went to a movie theater and had to watch ads in the middle and more right before the end of the film. And they told me if I wanted to skip the ads I would have to pay 50% more for my already $20 ticket.

    Remember when movies were $5 for matinee or sometimes one day in the week was $5. ? Anyone ?

    It wasn’t that long ago.

    I used to go to the movies like 1x or 2x a month. Now it’s literally been years. I think last time was the first new dune movie.

    Sad.

      Yeah. It’s not my favorite. Still, most people can talk and listen faster than than a stenographer can type. There’s also the added layer of nonverbal information in oral communication that isn’t in text. Calls are still more effective for most matters that are both urgent and important. I don’t like them, but I’ll resort to them if I need to.

    … or the voice call feature will be deprecated due to the universal use of text messaging and advertisers will refuse to buy ads for a defunct technology.
