George R. R. Martin should finish his book so that we can see if it's actually an issue.

You don't want to over-comment though, otherwise people will just start ignoring all of them.

The fourth wall is a term used in film/theater production where the viewer sees the production as a "room" with 3 visible walls (think of any time you're watching a show take place in a house/apartment). The fourth wall is where the viewer sits and is invisible to the viewer, but the characters in theory would expect it to be there and act like they're in a real place. Breaking the fourth wall is when a character acknowledges either the audience or in some other way interacts directly with the viewer's reality as opposed to staying constrained to their own universe.

So, for this meme, Anakin (1st panel) is acknowledging that he's being filmed even though the character should have no idea they're even in a piece of film.

Because licensing is complicated and likely they are not the sole owners of all technology involved in doing so and there's no perceived benefit for them to do that unless they feel like they can make money on it somehow.

When this happens, I make as much noise as possible to make it obvious to whoever they're speaking with that the person is talking to them in a bathroom.

Regardless of the politics surrounding abortion, Facebook chat never claims to be encrypted nor secure. Users should be aware that their chats are available in this capacity and should also be aware that platforms like Signal exist which are encrypted and secure.

The worst bosses I've ever had were highly technical people put into those roles because they were perceived to be the best with those skills. There was repeatedly little-to-no regard for their soft skills and working for those people was miserable.
