@Betty oh no

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

@bri7@treehouse.systems 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
