DoctorWhoDMC

I feel scammed.

I always bought DVDs to avoid ads and that was nice, then they made streaming more affordable and convenient.

Then they quietly dropped releasing streaming shows on physical media and now it’s more expensive and has ads.

You tricked me!

Well no this can’t be right.

I have been assured Doctor Who is definitely cancelled by many fans who definitely know. /s

That’s already true…

I hardly ever use “lol” to mean laugh out loud. It’s also just interspersed in sentences to denote when something is not really serious lol.

"On camera"?

Wouldn't that just be a camera pointed at a processor in a data centre somewhere?

“Let’s just say, she’s unlearning her conception of attraction” is the woke way of saying a girl is an easy lay.

Cars, and all the resulting infrastructure.

Ruined city structures and, to an extent, local communities. Small corner stores and tight-knit communities have vanished in favour of giant shopping malls meant to serve everyone in a huge radius.

I have an old Apple Watch and this made me wanna get rid of it.

I've bought into their ecosystem (mainly just because I hate every other tech giant slightly more) but they've really done little to impress me these past few years...

I've read (and don't quote me on it) that the way it gets around those laws is it's technically not "recording". It's real-time dictation with no audio recorded or transmitted anywhere...

... But even so, it really goes against the spirit of those laws.

I don't know if I've read of any Apple fans who don't think this is creepy or at the very least wildly unnecessary as a feature.

Privacy concerns aside, if you need generated summaries of your own day, I don't know if I can relate to you as a person because wtf are you not paying attention to anything anyone says to you?

I never want pictures of me on Facebook. I simply don't want Meta knowing what I look like.

To protect myself, I avoid having friends or attending family gatherings.

The most conspiratorially minded are also the most likely to miss the obvious.

During COVID lockdowns, while I worked retail, a few customers didn't want to use the QR codes to "check in" to the store because "tracking", but then used digital contactless payment without a thought.
