I looked at buying a ps5 for the first time since it came out a couple weeks ago because I really wanted to play LOTR War in the North again.

Its twice as expensive as it was when it came out.

I just went home and grabbed my old ps2.

Its absolutely insane that this console is so expensive right now.

It is also the last PS I would get because I want physical discs.

    Yeah thats super weird to me

    Ill wet the brush, shut it off, put the paste on, wet that, shut it off, brush, then turn the water on to wash my mouth and the brush and thats it. Why would you keep it running the whole time??

    I think it would work better in reverse. If ordinary people left Twitter and meta in droves, the brands would follow. Most people haven't. The ones with bluesky accounts, the main viable alternative, are way fewer.

    I created a Twitter account back when it first came out. Never posted. Never used it. But every month I get emails about someone trying to sign into my account. I dont want a bot or something worse impersonating me.

    There are multiple people I follow who announced they were quitting Twitter for good and moving to other platforms. Their viewership and followers declined a huge amount.

    People also have spent decades on these platforms and have memories and links and photos saved that can't be exported. Even when they can be, its a whole process most people are not that computer literate.

    I completely agree that people should stop using these platforms. I think most people here do too. But expecting it to be easy and fast is a lot.
