    If only there was another option… kinda like a gal pal that would do that weird thing with the wisk and the cattleprod, and didn’t try to show you their monster truck videos on a broken Galaxy 4.

    Ah well, that must not exist, guess that’s that.

    I guess people don’t know the stand-up comedian Blair Socci yet. She’s kind of funny but I have a feeling this was an idea for a joke that isn’t fully formed. A lot of comedians use social media to workshop their stuff…

    Showing me the weird shit you watch on YouTube is a requirement for me, I want to know what videos you watch when you’re alone and bored with nothing to do.

      I hope you like documentaries about completely random shit from politics of a foreign nation over 300 years ago, to how an obscure campaign of a war over a hundred years ago was fought, a full biography of a fictional character and what events they may have been witness to, to a plethora of asmr things as background noise, engineering deep dives and video game related content.

    There’s plenty other reasons that disqualify me from marriage but sharing videos on my phone is not one of them

      Mine shares reels, every 19 seconds she has something new to show.

      I try to share useful information from youtube but she doesn’t have the attention span to watch them anymore.

      So it’s a one way road and i’m trying my best to just nod and smile at the reels while keeping focus on the information i’m trying to contain from the long form video. It’s a bloody warzone sometimes, “hey, look haha. Hey, look haha. Hey, look haha”…can you give me 10 minutes please? And then she’s pissed at me.

      Short form content…i want my old wife back, can you please remove yourself from existence. You ruined her.

      Same. It takes a very special video to get me to turn my sound on. Definitely more of a static content feller

    I showed this to my girlfriend and she was like, “I don’t get it, why are you showing this to me?”

    I got married even though it meant waiting for every restaurant meal to be photographed and posted to Instagram before I could take a bite.

      We are not going out to eat often if I gotta wait for the perfect photo. You better get the waiter to take you back to the kitchen if you want snapshots of the food before I see it and take a bite.

        Hell yeah. My partner and I only take pictures of meals we’ve made ourselves when we’re super proud, and occasionally when a piece of sushi looks extra good. Neither of us are into social media.

        (Also neither of us make each other watch things on our phones. We just take a note if something sounds interesting and pull it up on the big screen later.)
