This is what I'm worried about most, losing those long form communities, and the niche subs. Not just for being on reddit, though, but searching site:reddit.com when I'm looking for info about something.

Yes, there are a multitude of message boards out there to search, but the voting system makes better responses easier to find from reddit.

Even if a lot of us don't go back to reddit in any real way it's going to take a long, long time to replace it entirely for the broad range of uses it has, outside of it being a community.

otherwise you don't realise his movies are often in large part a collage of other movies.

Isn't that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.

It's okay to not like Tarantino, I don't care much about that, but your argument doesn't really hold up for me.

This is a lot of what I was concerned about, for sure. Well said.

I work on a helpdesk, my phone rings around 8-12 times per day, and most calls are less than 10 minutes. I work a 7.5 hour shift, and at most am on the phone for an hour or so total on an average day. I'm also in an office cubicle farm, not working from home, or behind a series of closed doors.

Lately, between taking calls, I've been reading books, looking at my phone, practicing French, and watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation on my iPad. The upper management knows I, and my coworkers, kill time this way between calls.

We're efficient problem solvers who get our jobs done with no issue, so the downtime is spent how we see fit.

This reminds me so much of the twins in One Hundred Years of Solitude.

I do agree, but it's also had ads for a very long time.

Honestly, they're the only smartphones I've ever used, going all the way back to the MyTouch 3G. Well, my first "smart" phone was a Sidekick that I got in 2009 or so, but I upgraded to Android and the MyTouch 3G when my cousin gave it to me when she got a new phone.

Since then I've had a Galaxy S, Galaxy S5, Note 5, and I've had a Pixel 4a 5G for a couple of years now.

Oddly enough I've been on the fence about going to iPhone for my next phone. I have a lot of time and money tied up in the Play Store, and I know it doesn't just go away when I get a new phone, but I've gotta take some stock before I make a switch. Apple products have become more and more enticing as I get older. I used to have harder feelings about the phone divide, but I honestly haven't cared the past 5 years, a good phone is a good phone.
