@paulg Have kids have always done this? How the brain separates reality and fiction is interesting. Stories are ever-living for some people.
My kids refer to movies in the present tense (I like that part, not I liked that part) because in the streaming world they're ever-present.

@paulg the liking has nothing to do with time. You liked it when you first saw it. But afterwards you still like it now. Present is correctThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg They’re referring directly to the movie instead of doing it obliquely through the experience of it.@timoreilly -
@paulg As you point out, the repetibility of the experience makes its singularity far less significant.@timoreilly - Show replies
