This Venn diagram comes across my dash very frequently and while I agree with the sentiment it just... it pisses me off so much. So many of these are nonsensical. What do you mean Lord of the Flies is a cross between The Handmaid's Tale, Brave New World, and 1984? That makes no sense whatsoever. The society in Gattaca is obsessed with knowledge and educational attainment, it is the opposite of Fahrenheit 451. Did whoever make this even read/watch any of these. I am this close to reading everything in the chart that I haven't yet (Animal Farm, Logan's Run, and A Clockwork Orange) just so I can be pissed off even more.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

The sheer resistance in certain circles to the idea that most big-name D&D podcasts are at least partially scripted is perplexing to me because, like, look at the fucking production values. Yeah, it was cool when the party leader biffed that last-ditch Diplomacy check to prevent a battle no-one wanted, but when the GM proceeded to wheel out $1800 worth of Dwarven Forge terrain and a custom 3D-printed minifig for their reluctant foe, it's crystal clear there was no way that fight wasn't happening.

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

The pattern of forced infantilization of the younger generations to create generational helplessness is everywhere, if you have eyes to see.

do they think... that prologues and epilogues... which take place within the story and are very much inside of the same book as the rest of the pages... don't count as part of the book....???.....

Some actors get all snippy when they become a Meme but hes like "yes. Thank you, that's exactly what I was going for".
