I dont know how much I’d be able to actually do, but I could whore bitcoin hard and use the money charitably.

Home Alone at least is set at Xmas. Town centres are always way busier then as everyone rushes to buy stuff.

I wasn’t considering music or TV, but you’ve just tickled what I thought OP was talking about. With social media taking off a lot of our culture is online now.

We had a lot of fun sharing jokes and songs and parodies of things etc on YouTube. This gave way to mini-cults as people started getting popular, and started sponsored content. Somewhere along the way people stopped doing it for fun, and it started being “game the system by any means necessary to make it big enough to sell shit”.

Its hard to put into exact words my issue, but it makes my soul ache.

Its not that crass commercialisation is dominating music, because that’s been the case longer than ive been alive. It just feels like its reached too far. Its in too much of what we do. Maybe its just this generation that will feel this way. The “old folks” are pretty much out of the game and dont understand this newfangled Internet thing, and the kids are growing up in this world and itll just be normal.

The next thing is “ignore it, get offline, touch grass, go to your local bar and meet real people” but even that is tainted now. People you meet have strong opinions that have been planted in them by targeted bots on the Internet. Theres big signs placed all over the walls “FIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA” because you need an Internet presence for your business to survive, which means they need to be mindful of what they present themselves as to appease the algorithm, and suddenly they’re not real places for real people, they’re another extension of this near-singular will.

Its too big a concept for me to put into words, and i might be overstating it or missing a core concept, but it scares a tiny bit of me a whole lot.

It was funny the first time, but the memes oversaturated now.

I always take it to a literal extreme when these sorts of arguments come up.

“I’m happy paying towards unemployment benefits because everybody needs to eat. Even if its going to drug addicts spending it on crack, because they need thst crack and theyre going to get it. I’d rather them be in the dole office with their hands out than sneaking around my house in the night taking my xbox.”

Antiheros are supposed to be relatable to some extent. You’re supposed to be on their side.

When they talk about how the world is broken and everyone just seems to be accepting it, theyre spot on. When they talk about how we’ve allowed the worst traits of humanity to flourish and dominate they’re saying what we’re all thinking. These are the quotes that get shared on boomermemes on Facebook. What doesnt get shared so much is their plan to fix it which involves taking a bus full of toddlers hostage with a bomb.

10/10 no notes

I always took anti hero to mean bad protagonist. Like in any normal story they’re almost definitely the villain, but the story follows them as the main character so we see the world through their eyes.

With this in mind i guess joker became anti hero when he got his own movie

“Daddy daddy! Up up up song pweez!” Multiple times a day

Its 16 to do it, 18 to watch it.

Because it might be porn. If websites are found to be serving 18+ content without rigorous Orwellian ID checks they can be fined out their fucking arse.

A lot of websites have just blocked the UK entirely instead of dealing with that shit.

We scoff at them both, but seriously pick one and get comfortable, looking reality right in the butt-cheeks is bad for the soul.

I kinda want this. Half of me is laughing just from the idea, and half of me is disgusted by the concept and myself for even entertaining it.

Ill never know for sure, forgot to get a selfie on the way out
