There’s a really big difference between ahahah or hahaha. I can’t explain it but there is.

I just love how you have people who keep referring to "Hollywood" when talking about any movie they don't like (as in "Hollywood clearly keeps doing X-phobic thing" or "Hollywood shows once again with this movie no decency" etc etc...)

... Except the movie they are talking about has no relationship to Hollywood whatsoever.

Am I the only one who noticed how "Hollywood" became just a term to apparently designate any kind of big studio or big-budget production company? And sometimes not even big studio - people literaly use "Hollywood" to designate any movie production that isn't an indie project done by a non-pro with a five dollars budget.

“The internet has changed a lot in the 18 years of Facebook’s existence. From text, to photos, to video, (to vertical shorts).”

Everyone I mention this to just wants to call me old — and I even seen a take that “the geeks fear being pushed off the internet by pretty people.”

But in truth the stop quote is what I mean. Not a day goes by in my author chat where someone doesn’t mention “readers don’t read” and it’s because in under two decades we have radical changed how we interact with the internet.

Not instead of using photos and videos to expand dialogue, they are promoted as natural evolution driven by which can produce the most profit.

I don’t have a business degree (insert Sonic meme here) but I’d be really curious to know if every internet platform target demographic is always “the youth” because they are generally the ones with extra time and money. (Talking $20 bucks for a meal out or $100 for a concert here not house buying amounts.)

Because very few 16-24 year olds are saving for retirement.

And I wonder if 29+ stops being a target audience because they are fully embedded in a capitalistic system (making people who target them mortgage companies, and banks, and health, etc)

I'm plotting with people online to steal lightbulbs and a frappuccino machine. This has become the high point of my life.

This is exactly what it feels like when one tries to reason with an Internet Troll.

Or in most cases, watching two Internet Trolls arguing with one another.

...mostly, I’m just sharing this because I’ve always found this scene funny =P
