Who wants their own little spot to be popular, though? That immediately ruins it.

Fuck 'em, that’s what I learned.

That’s a manga I would read

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

I saw it in the theater as a teenager. I thought it was hilarious. Saw it again 15 years later and was like “this is trash, how did I like this?” Last rewatch I was like “the camp is actually brilliant.”

“There was such a potential for all of us to live brilliant, flourishing, fulfilling lives.”

No there wasn’t. That’s just part of the illusion they sell you. The entire thing is just a shakey extension into the sky built upon a foundation it continues to havest from to give the impression of growth. It was only great for a few of us and it could never last.

I do agree with your sentiment and feel like if humans weren’t the way we are we could still build a global paradise.

But that’s not the way humans operate.

Lol, first time?

You should read up on how we did Sadam. The US diplo April Glass gave tacit approval for his occupation of Kuwait and we then used that as a reason to retaliate and stabbed him in the back to get the oil.

Even better, you should look up how we completely fabricated a boogeyman out of Gaddafi.

Everything that reaches the ears of the public is a lie.

Shit, pay me and I’ll emigrate to Japan in a heartbeat.

Both interesting and boring at the same time.

Reddit is just a marketplace for psyops/shilling now anyway.

You can see how there is collusion amongst the search companies and social media companies to wall off their little chunk of the interwebs and herd the users into data scraping apps.

HSR is a powerhouse when you include the lore, story, graphics, music, etc., that just happens to also be a gacha game.

Now this is ironic.

Reading post: “Hey, I have that game! Wouldn’t it be funny if I took a picture of it and wrote something like ‘oh, it’s over here’.”

“Hmm, that’s weird, it’s gone.”

It was pretty fun. Plot was kind of convoluted. Think I only played it all the way through once but it had a good feel, the upgrades were neat, and it looked great. I probably bought it used and there was a scratch that caused a glitch at one of the boss fights which deterred me from finishing it for a long time but at some point I finished it.

Meh, I used to use almost all the same methods, including the em dashes, ending conclusions with a mic drop statement, etc., but LLMs are so specifically patterned that you can spot it a mile away. ChatGPT talks like people, people do not talk like chatGPT.

Thanks, chatGPT!

Yet another victim of the grinder that is the entertainment industry. All persons, young and beautiful, must be chucked into the media grinder for the insatiable appetite of the public and industry. Whoever survives is spat out like gristle.

I felt a convulsing shudder roll up my innards, complete with subtle eye twitch at the peak, like a cherry on top, when I read your comment.

Leave us behind? Where is it going?

Pervmiscuous?

As opposed to proverted, the next level of pervert.
