Subtitles are a great example of an adaptation that helps more than (in this case auditory) disabled people.

When I had small children I stopped watching anything that wasn’t subtitled because I couldn’t control my noise environment. Either too loud to hear when the children were playing or had to keep the noise down when they were sleeping.

It gave me a great appreciation for assistive technology in general.

I love how it makes just enough sense to hold the plot together. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Also, it’s the lead of the class of millennial parental apology fantasy films, one of my favorite genres ;)

Although that looks more like a $50 wrench to be fair.

The stigma against double texting is an insecure schoolgirl affectation. Don’t worry about it.

Personally I detest chain-texts (a whole bunch of short messages in quick succession, like 8-10 or so) because a) I get the impression the writer didn’t want to bother organizing his thoughts before communicating, and expects me to do it for him and b) it makes my phone vibrate/beep a lot and it’s just distracting. But that is not what’s going on here. It’s just two texts with complete sentences.

TLDR: you’re fine, texting etiquette-wise. Double texting is not really a thing.

We need copyright reform. Life of author plus 70 for everything is just nuts.

This is not an AI problem. This is a companies literally owning our culture problem.
