*nods at you like an NPC in a unimportant FFXIV cutscene*

Last week I asked my dad if he remembers sneaking me into the cinema to see Deep Rising in 1998. He said he thought so but didn't remember which cinema it was. He was stunned that I not only remembered the exact cinema but also the time of day and the shirt I was wearing.

Today I forgot what someone told me over the phone even though the conversation ended 3 seconds ago.

“My memory is like a chalkboard and someone else has the eraser while another someone else writes random things in permanent marker instead of chalk.”

-Actual quote from be before I even imagined I might be ADHD.

writing is my passion

I don’t have an explanation for this it just made me laugh

many people sharing the writing post today... hard to keep up with..... know my universal advice:

Commission for @wayward-delver, Thanks again commissioning me!

thing 1 and thing 2. egg and his brother cheese. what else can i call them

When you try to talk about enshittification, it sounds like conspiracy theories. (I'm not crazy)

Amazon made their service worse, to force people to pay for Prime.

Nowadays, if you order from Amazon, there is a week long delay before your package is shipped. (on purpose)

I remember when orders would ship out the same day. (I remember - it was real)

YouTube didn't used to have ads. Now, ads play in the middle of videos. (it's worse than TV ever was)

The best can opener I have owned is over 40 years old. Modern ones just don't hold up as well. (The ones I bought new broke ages ago)

The bread machine my mom got for her wedding lasted 30 years. It's been replaced twice in the last 5 years. (How can you fuck this up?)

The cardboard tubes in the middle of toilet paper rolls have gotten larger. (This too?) Companies increasing the price of the product while selling you less. (REALLY?)

It sounds crazy. (it's the truth) When you talk about it, YOU sound crazy. (it's true)

Even when people believe you (do they really), all they can say is "it sucks". (it's too big) Because the problem is so big, so pervasive, what can we even DO about it???

To get the necessary laws written and passed, we need politicians, to get the politicians elected we need information campaigns, to fund campaigns we need money, and all the money is being hoarded by the people profiting from enshittification. (it sounds so fake)

So I talk about enshittification (it sounds crazy), so people don't forget that things have been made worse on purpose (it's true), even though I sound crazy. (maybe I am)

"Block this ad" isn't good enough, I need a feature that directly tells the company "this was so shit that it lowered my opinion of your product"

oh they're going to be the *worst* (/affectionate)

regardless of how much time passes i think the ffxiv Billboard Incident™ will forever be my favorite fandom drama to explain to someone because to even understand the sheer magnitude of it you have to explain the entirely unironic and sincere final fantasy 14 nightclub industry

i mean yeah you COULD just sum it up as "mmo guild advertises their in-game nightclub on a giant expensive billboard in real life texas" but it's way more engaging when you understand that the nightclub part is not the weird part of this sentence. it's not even the unusual part.

the big problem is that the swimsuit wasn’t actually released yet and had been modded into the game and - actually okay XIV’s devs have a weird relationship with modding specifically with discretion with modding because of - actually okay so have you seen any footage of high end World of Warcraft raids

how dare you be funnier than me on my own damn post etcetera etcetera
