  • On my 18th birthday I wanted to go out and spend the day with friends. My parents said they didn’t want me to and they wanted me to stay home. I said I was 18 and an adult and I wanted to spend my birthday out with my friends.

    I leave and enjoy a few hours until I get a phone call from my dad. He says “Come home immediately, there’s been a huge accident with mom and your youngest brother. We need you home ASAP”.

    I rush home in a panic, spent an hour on the way home preparing myself for the possibility that half my family had died.

    Only to find out that he had “played a joke on me” to get me to come home as a power move. No accident. No ambulance, no injuries.

    “You think you’re an adult but I will ALWAYS be in charge of you” was what he said.

    I’m 30 now and haven’t spoken to him in over a decade. I don’t think much about him since he’s pathetic, but when I do, I imagine that he’s rotting alone and unable to manipulate other peoples physchology and emotions 🙂


  • People in the VR scene also hate Meta because all the eye tracking information is being harvested and sold to ad companies.

    Did you know that the pattern your eyes move and what you look at and how fast you look at it and WHAT you look at can tell an algorithm how you’re feeling, if you suffer from certain specific mental illnesses or neurodivergence, your age and gender, and your core inner desires and activation triggers? Now give all that info to Facebook. For free.
