How do I tell social media to stop giving me shithouse comedy videos about how to exploit D&D rules because I’d rather piss a stone.

I get the appeal of continuity and canon for people, I really do. But when people say a story is "wrong" if it's not consistent it sounds like they're devaluing or simply not understanding the entire concept of storytelling as a human activity.
Hi, it's me, Bsky's biggest continuity wanker. I think Doctor Who is a single self-consistent story and get nervous when travel times between known destinations in Star Trek don't line up.
Are you dense? Do you think Casino Royale happened before Dr No? Who was Lazenby Bond calling "The other guy"?

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

A huge part of this is remembering that people younger than you almost universally have less shit figured out than you do so their opinions can largely be ignored.
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

This is the weirdest thing anyone has blocked me for
Back when Big Brother was a thing I used to like the idea of financing a series that never actually aired. The contestants would not know until they were disgorged from the house into the middle of a bleak industrial estate somewhere in the home counties with no-one watching.
lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful
what would you buy to break the curse?

Lovely to see that it's now considered cool and good to be a vehement lefty who loves socialism but if you called people like me a stupid naive cunt and dick-rode the reasonable centre between 2016 and 2024 I DO remember because I'm not above petty fuckery. Anyway. Welcome, comrade.
