ahhhh sounds like a great idea though, like I said I'd be rich :smug:

that could get annoying

…yeah, it was a little annoying until I found out the thing about paid for posting…then it was…gooooooo gurl..!!!!!!…understanding did take all of the annoyance away for me I have to say…:laugh:…

…one funny thing was (…one time…)…one of the posters was getting paid from a book/story writing site and one of the assignments, I think…was to write a short little story piece of however many words were stated and post it on their sites…the story that was posted was pretty, well…. unique …in every single way, it was the funniest thing ever…

I was watching on BluRay
Black Mirror Season 3 (Netflix)

Shocking first episode
Fantastic looking young lady
but her Mobile Phone must keep 4 stars
to stay at the level to travel to her friends.

Or get a lower-quality Electric Car Hire
but you need an adapter to fit onto the charge lead.
Things go wrong for her.

A Terrible Future Vision.

What on earth makes you think that? We live in an age where kids go into school and basically tell the teachers what's going to be happening with them today.

school is a tiny part of a kids life

Yeah it’s all gone pear shaped ..

We teach them to pass tests now .. they don’t learn important stuff like the old days .


I’m so relieved that those days are behind me

Is it?

7 hours a day, 5 days a week...seems like a rather large part to be fair.

That sounds eerily similar to our current world.

Give it another decade, and we might just be on our way to this very society.

If people say or do the slightest thing "wrong," their lives will be ruined in today's society.

Unless, of course you've got connections, then you might have a chance at keeping your job.

Just to add, let's look at the Celeb world for cancel culture.

Carol Vorderman

Gary Lineker - it failed, but an attempt still happened, and it was all because he had the "wrong," opinion.

Matt Le Tissier

Joey Barton

Melissa Barrera

Gina Carano

Awkwafina - Like with Gary Lineker, the attempt failed. But the fact that there was even an attempt in the first place is what's sad.

JK Rowling

Hogwarts Legacy & anyone that developed or enjoyed the Game

Society is definitely in a bad way, and more needs to be done to change it to something more reasonable.

Because people shouldn't be walking on eggshells in the hope of not having their life ruined, it's not natural for people to behave that way, and it's probably one of the main contributing factors as to why some peoples Mental Health are so bad, because they can't freely express themselves without someone, or some group jumping down your throat, trying to destroy your life.

And does anyone have your back in today's society? No, people pretend to be understanding and likable people, but when it comes down to it nobody stops these psychopaths that love to beat people when they're already down.

Too true.

And controversially whilst I think Phillip Schofield is a sketchy man, there is no actual evidence of him committing a crime, he is sleazy imo though.

Also Bud Light was another one, all because there was a Trans person in one of their Adverts, like really!
