I literally read all day, this would be fantastic. Books. Visual media has subtitles and usually is something I’m gonna Google further while watching/playing. I mostly consume text based social media and news.

… fuck I think I just want a newspaper

Lol sorry, I meant the fashion! Everything on sale and what people were wearing. … I don’t leave my house a lot lol

I went to the mall today and it felt like the early 2000s again

Look I know it is barely on topic but that shit was so wild I had to

You’re gonna have to dig that puzzle and answer up and challenge lemmy properly!

Yeah I don’t think it is actually going to be particularly intrusive visually. It is based on data on games you play and stuff so one could argue that is intrusive. It’s 6 months from now as they start getting more bold and greedy. The ads will get worse, they always do.

I’m the weirdo who always reads the privacy policy at the bare minimum. I’ve opted out of a lot of services/apps/games/sites because of their privacy policy over the years.

Look it is bullshit they can get away with this crap but right now we only have the existing outdated legislation to work with. The absolute explosion of how technology and social media impacts the world has changed RAPIDLY in the last 15 years. It was once quaint that Obama did reddit AMA or posted a tweet.

So my point is yes be mad but ultimately it is out responsibility to be proactive with the tools that we have, and that’s privacy policies and ToS. Like you’re skipping through the villain’s monologe laying out every step of their evil plan then shocked at the consequences.

Oh my gosh I love the name too!

I love these stories! I love that he stuck around long enough to turn it around haha, I hope your party gets to drink for free after all that bs

I’m sorry this is so off topic to the community but this meme reminded me how much I hate that advice. What if I only want sex too?! It didn’t prepare me for ANYTHING. It treats teenagers like one dimensional objects where girls only want romance and commitment and guys only want sex and will behave like a movie villian to get it. When reality doesn’t match it gets all disregarded

So PSA not good advice

Damn!! it’s stories like this why I always click on these threads even though I don’t play.

And this is why the dnd movie was so great, it took stories like this and wove them in to the main story, sometimes it contributed to the momentemum and sometimes it was just this like… dumb thing that accomplished nothing! I loved that! Damn I am ready for that to be our “next cinematic universe” and take a break from super heros. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy those too and usually it’s always at least a good time. I think audiences need the break though and a good cliffhanger with intrigue along with it.

Oh yeah sorry I can ramble. Thanks for your story I really enjoyed it!
