If you're on Tik Tok, I bet you have seen those NPC lives because they seem so trendy now...what are your thoughts about them? Is this what people who developed the new technologies, internet and social media had in mind when they started it all. Is this meant to be human evolution? Please, let me know.
It would be unfair to judge human evolution by the most objectionable outliers. (As for whether there really is any human/cultural progress overall, I have no idea.)
I think they're just popular because they're hypnotizing or mind-bending or something. For example, here's an excerpt from Forbes: '“Feeling my brain reconfigure after I watch this for the 30th time,” one user tweeted with a video of popular NPC streamer Cherry Crush.'
As for the people who perform it, I think it's all about the $$$. One person was ingenious enough to discover/invent a goldmine in the realm of psychosocial allure, and dozens of other people followed. Pinkydoll, for example, makes $7000 a day doing it. (Don't know offhand if she was the inventor of it.)
Other than that, what Arthur said.
Who is one of your favorite youtubers?
I encountered one in my dream last night. I was scrolling on a website, and there was this annoying bug where if you did the wrong thing, it would just animate the current section you were on as you moved the wheel instead of scrolling further down, until you click somewhere outside the graphics.
I don't know anything about how playing or reporting people in that kind of game works, but I'd think not, it would be stupid because it was an honest mistake.
Are wholesome people boring, over all?
I haven't noticed any correlation, myself. I think there are other ways of being interesting/entertaining than depravity.
What would you do in your free time if you lived in the 1880s?
Women <3
I'd be like Don Giovanni
If I could =P
Otherwise, who knows, I guess I'd just be bored. Or I might have any given interest depending on my identity in this hypothetical.
It's Friday! What are your plans for the weekend?
Idk, nothing, I just found it's a Friday. =P
Are you a pushover?
What Commons said. 🤣
I didn't think it was bad at all, I've never had much trouble with Windows OSs since Windows XP. (Though Vista was kinda bad, and for some reason a few things are much worse in Windows 11 than Windows 10).
Windows 10 Just Works™️ and is very polished, robust and featureful.
Well, nobody knows any language in its entirety. Me, I know one or more words in multiple languages. 🤣
Do you find yourself creative?
In a way. I'm not artistic at all, but I'm creative with ideas. Even more so, I'm extremely imaginative, which is close to creativity but a little different, or maybe a specific manifestation of creativity that's unfortunately limited in outward expression.
New law in Iran , 10 years in prison for not wearing a Hijab. Thoughts?
Just more of the usual totalitarian, horribly oppressive policies of a radically backward religion.
I feel like I have, but I don't remember who or what.
Not sure if I've ever been confronted myself, I think probably not, I'm very ethical.
Would you like to go to the Oktoberfest in Germany?
Probably not. I would like to visit Germany, but I don't drink and I don't particularly like being surrounded by drunk people.
What type of movies do you enjoy?
I guess action, particularly Marvel movies. Also like some fantasy, like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. And I like comedy in spirit, though I find most comedy movies to be really stupid. (Some are really good.) I've watched a few little-known foreign films and really liked them. I think a lot of the movies I like a lot don't fit well into any particular category.
