Feminine? What on earth? How can an NGO have a gender? And more importantly, why does it need one? I like your comment, but the word "feminine" is really sexist, as if everything female was of less value.


As someone who lived there for many years, I would dare to contradict you. There is beauty in the many shades of grey.


When people ask me what it's like to live in Scotland, I tell them: The sky is gray, the buildings are gray, the people are gray. But if you go about 10 minutes in any direction you'll come across nature and it's just green.


At least Edinburgh is brown.

But seriously, my main problem with Aberdeen is psychological. It feels so far from everywhere else. In Glasgow and Edinburgh, you're much closer to the rest of the UK and even the population centres in Scotland.


There is a reason we call it the central belt for Glasgow and Edinburgh. Everything else is either lowlands or highlands and a bit of a trek.


As someone who moved to the UK from abroad, it was crazy for me to see how unequal the UK is geographically. The main one is obviously the divide between London/everywhere else, but the general lack of infrastructure between places is wild.

On the other hand, the whole HS2 debacle is a great way to explain this to my friends outside the UK. Bizarre to think it was promised as a way to connect the north of England (and Scotland) to London and the SE...


There are certainly worse places, and the Shire is gorgeous. But it really doesn't help that it's so far from everwhere else (and I don't just mean London).


You read my mind, I was exactly looking for that!


How does your site generate movies? Does it pick random ones from IMDb? If so, more movies would probably come up, even the ones less known. Or did you (developer) make a conscious selection? If so, what is your selection based on?


Nice, I like it and can see myself using it. It would be even better if there was always a link to IMDB.


Reflecting on past experiences, does anybody else find that first checking IMDB for a score has ultimately been a flop of a habit? Also, IMDB, it’s not what it used to be am I right?


Data are being fetched from IMDb. What's missing on the app that you'd like to see on IMDb?


I think the app and the data it contains is good as it is. I would just occasionally like to check data from IMDb such as actors, directors, similar movies and all the stuff one can find on IMDb. A mere link to IMDb could provide more info to those who want it, without polluting your already great site with more data.


I would love it if this extension was made for Firefox!


Unfortunately, Firefox has some technical limitations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29256938


Name two things that go better together: Firefox and not implementing standard APIs properly.

Probably "Chrome" and "stealing data" I guess.

I love the fact that I can customize absolutely everything. The AUR (Arch User Repository) is also amazing and has probably every installable package on earth.
