Yes!!! Me too!!!! I recorded it onto a VHS tape off the TV as a kid and I'm probably at a similar watch count to you. It's my favourite movie of all time.
Haha. Sorry! I mean I really did enjoy it. But "must watch" is a high standard.
I faced similar with Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) with my 15 year old. I deliberately didn't watch it for nearly 10 years to wait on the 4k release. Got gifted a Blu-ray player between my wife and eldest son for Christmas, had a big "Aliens night" when the disc arrived and she called it "mid" 😭
I appreciated the recommendation of something slightly obscure enough to watch it straight after your comment though for what it's worth.
It's a good, thought provoking, question but "thriving" is subjective. One of my besties is not wealthy and doesn't want to be but he's living the life he wants and very happy doing it so I'd consider that thriving.
I more or less do the same for finding new communities but I do browse my feed by "scaled" first to try to engage posts early in Comms that I'm interested in, then move to all top twelve hours after.
Could you give me an example of a prying question you got asked?
I find most people overshare unnecessarily. I'm always telling me wife and kids not to give detail (with examples of how to avoid it) and have gotten very good at giving minimal detail.
Example: my wife has been in hospital for weeks. It's not something she'd want people to know about.
My mother in law was all "what are you going to tell people?" and I just said "nothing". So when I do have to bring it up I say "she's been in hospital a few weeks and will be another few more but she'll be fine". That last part I add to deflect in advance.
Only one person has had the gall to ask for more information and I told them I'd tell them over a pint some time (i.e. would you ever fuck off with that).
Agree.
