Well, yes, but it was unrelated to that conversation.

Most "non tech-savvy" people I've tried to explain the concept of open source software and initiatives like the Fediverse to just outright don't trust them. Whilst they might say they'd prefer for software and services to not track or manipulate them if you asked them directly, they can't truly conceive of tech that doesn't.
The only interactions these people have had with the digital world have been as part of the modern data scraping hellscape that was once termed "Web 2.0" after the internet went mainstream in the '00s. They weren't part of the internet when it was a niche interest and more open, so they know no better and accept that predatory behaviour as the way of things.
I'm not an expert in psychology but I don't think it's overly dramatic to say it puts me in mind of those poor individuals who were abused as children, never received therapy and go on to seek out other abusers in adulthood.
Who's Check and why are you mating with him, homo?
Nice! Thank you, works perfectly.
I recommend Tubular. Newpipe with Sponsorblock. Didn't realise how much of a game changer that would be until I tried it.
Just need to find a way to stop Eternity from opening Youtube links in the browser. Sure you can share it with the app but it would be a lot more convenient.
Porn, porn, porn!
Half asleep walking to work I said hello back to a guy. Turned out he was talking to someone on the phone with earbuds.
Friend of mine was moritified when I asked a Mormon elder who started talking to us if they still believed in bigamy. She thought I meant sodomy.
Also, one of the commenters here said they worked at a dog hotel? Is that a thing?
First three won't necessary cost anything
Doing anything other than boning or vegging on the sofa with your partner will cost you money.
Dating very much will cost you money (not that it isn't worth it if you have it).
Also I can't imagine what sort of hobby costs very little money.
Yea you're going nowhere after a pound of morphine, I tell you hwhat.

Spoilers for TNG S04E14 Clues
!The Enterprise encounters a planet inhabited by an isolationist species who uses a fake wormhole to knock people out so they can somehow mask their presence. OK, I'm with it so far.
This trap fails on Data who revives the crew and the aliens say they need to destroy the Enterprise to stop people finding out about them. Picard points out that if the Enterprise is destroyed Starfleet will come looking for them. Again, so far so good.
The aliens agree to let the crew live if they can wipe everyone's memory and order Data to never say what happened. This memory wipe takes 24 hours so they modify the computer records to make everyone think a day hasn't passed and they were actually out for 30 seconds. Then they do it again when the crew realises after finding some unforseen clues, so now at least 48 hours has passed. This is where it lost me.
I can understand them not realising straight away if they're in deep space and not communicating with Starfleet, but surely they're going to figure out their chronometer is 2 days off eventually and go back to try and figure out what went on?!<
Released in 1984 this stereo radio cassette recorder has speakers which are moveable, removable and act as it's battery compartments.

See, I think about weird stuff.
Floor and tables deffo hadn't been cleaned all weekend.
I just re-watched TNG "In Theory" (S04E25) and Data says that the door to his quarters is set to only allow humanoids to enter or leave when Geordie finds Spot in the hall.
Whilst I get that it would be dangerous for Spot to wander the ship freely I think it's kind of mean to keep him locked in a small room like that forever. There doesn't seem to be any cat toys in the room but maybe the computer is capable of some sort of environmental enrichment we can't immediately see.

Lol, yea. Total dipshit.
