Your story about buying a laptop reminds me of a scene from Parks and Rec when Ron Swanson's picking up supplies for a project at a home improvement store.

The comment you replied to:

Peak capitalism: pay just to see an ad.

So yes, we are in fact talking about paying for access to an ad.

lol, I can’t wait for someone to explain to you what an OTA broadcast is and how much it costs to view. The Super Bowl isn’t a relevant example for the comment you’re replying to.

Oh for sure, that was my point. Tobey's Peter Parker had to work normal jobs. Tom's Peter Parker hasn't... I'm hoping Brand New Day will give us at least a glimpse of a Peter Parker that has to worry about normal obligations that aren't just interpersonal relationships.

I'm so happy to see "Life with Louie" included in this meme. I loved that show as kid, but it seems like it's been lost amid nostalgia for better shows from the era. It was still pretty fuckin' good and deserves to be remembered, though.

I don't know about this meme... At one point Tobey's Spider-Man was delivering pizzas to survive, and he got fired because he was doing Spider-Man stuff on the clock. Dude had an asshole landlord too. Tom Holland's Peter Parker hasn't even scratched the surface of Tobey's "young NYC guy" struggles yet.

Dude has to pay people to play video games for him... There's no way he could handle life on medium difficulty.

That's pretty shitty. But I have a hard time mustering up any sympathy for anyone buying Meta's ~~smart glasses~~ surveillance tech. Fuckin' narcs.
