@MDZSKinkPromptBot cleaning out the Sun Palace going very weirdly for LXC

@bri7 yeah, thats asexual erasure

@PapyrusBrigade my understanding was that Toronto was the second most expensive city in Canada, so that tracks

@weirdestate @PapyrusBrigade 1.75M seems reasonably pricey to me?

@rigormorphis baffled and confused

@mythologybot yikes wtf

@Forestofglory @soph_sol i will definitely never read this but i do find the fact that it exists kinda hillarious

@Betty i am reminded of that one kurt vonnegut quote where his wife is like “if you bought an entire book of stamps you wouldnt have to waste a half hour going to the post office every time you wanted to mail a letter” and he’s like “ok but walking to the post office is the highlight of my entire day????”

@Betty yeah i mean, a tv show doesnt really allow for much of a conversation either, but our financial model there isn’t “this is only profitable if the people producing this do nothing but produce content for 18 hours a day and the people consuming it spend all their free time watching”

@Betty the term parasocial relationship was wildly overused for a while there but even that fact itself does seem to point towards us as a society struggling with this a bit yeah

i dont think streaming is necessarily inherently worse than like, youtuber or fedi or whatever on a per dose basis. but the vibe i get is that current monetization systems require you to put in crazy hours? and like, doing that much of ANYTHING can’t be healthy

@Betty yeah high level chess is firmly outside of my area of understanding as well so my knowledge is all secondhand but we can take comfort in the knowledge that there are streamers out there with intellect, if not common sense
