The microphone was not designed to be talked straight into it like that. It was designed for someone to hold the phone like a human. The mics are designed to help pick up audio from the direction of your mouth when your phone is in the normal position, not the one you’re using. By attempting to maximize efficiency and talk into it, you’re actively making it worse for the other people you’re talking to.
Because it’s insanely inconsiderate and extremely egotistical. You aren’t the only person in the world. We’re both watching the movie and we’re both equally as confused. When you ask those questions what you’re doing is interrupting the movie for someone else to demand an explanation for yourself. An explanation you will not get as, again, both of us are confused. Other people are watching the movie too. Interrupting it to try and get answers for yourself is some narcissistic behavior, especially when you’re in a movie theater with shitloads of other people around you.
Moreover, during the middle of the movie is not the place to have a discussion. People are trying to watch it and enjoy it, not listen to some breakdown about the events so far. If you want to have those discussions then keep it for after the movie when attention can be properly given to the discussion, not a half whispered response in a tone of “Dude, can you shut up?”
I wouldn’t say most lol I only post in the meme-y area, and even then that’s specific. But it does mean something. Honored, all the time, when someone reacts with “Holy shit, Stamets!” stuff. Even more so if I’m just talking with them. There are a couple people I talk with on Discord that at first acted like I was a celebrity. I just post memes to distract from my own problems. The fact anyone cares is deeply deeply humbling. Trust me on that <3
Honestly given all the shit I’ve been dealing with the past couple of weeks, yeah. If a disembodied flaming skull appeared at this point I’d just be like “sigh alright. What now?”
