That's a good one.

Saw it coming a mile away (i.e. from the start thanks to the protocol that says to protect the pilot), but it was such a good execution.

Personally, I felt more sad over Dobby's death.

Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? by Endmaker in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Among their favorites is “Fallout” – a post-apocalyptic drama based on the video game series of the same name.

I find this incredibly ironic.

Not sure if "ultra-rich" is the right label, since there are probably some of them who are good people, but I'm referring to the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc.

I'm just wondering: do people like them watch movies or TV shows, or read books? In so much of popular media, people like them (i.e. rich, powerful, unsympathetic) are usually cast as the villain.

If they have any self-awareness and do consume popular media, surely they would know they are (edit: seen as) the bad guys?

My guess is that they simply don't consume popular media and instead wind down by doing cliche rich people activities (e.g. attend parties of only the rich, partake in expensive sports)

I tried doing a quick internet, but didn't find an answer that confirms my thoughts, so I gave up and turned to Lemmy.

Happened to me recently during a call. Perhaps they could have phrased it better, like "why are you open to opportunities" (which sounds quite dumb too tbh)
