I made it through the first speaker singing the praises of how wonderful Facebook is. I made it through him encouraging people to Always Be Promoting on their smartphones, even while having a conversation with your partner-- that was a real example. But when he started talking about "giving your customers that dopamine" burst, I got huffy and looked for a nice quiet place I could play Slay The Spire. >_<
Also, everybody here is super-young and it's super-depressing.

On the other hand, their big kindergarteny "tell us YOUR story of creativilization!" wall turned out pretty good.
Peg and I both wrote extremely snarky, thematically honest things about our experiences there yesterday (mine involved spores and host devouring), and I walked away feeling so gloriously adolescent and subversive.
Today the wall was full of crazy stuff like ours, silly fantasy scenarios and frank admissions of being scared little artists who got here by accident. <3

@zebratron2084 I'm so glad! sometimes it just takes one person willing to speak up (or post up), and a bunch of other people who all thought they were alone look at that and say "hey, it's not just me!" it's very likely that you've made a substantially positive difference in somebody's mental health by kicking that off. <3

We even got one "Furry porn?! Well, count ME in! :D " drawn in as as somebody's addendum to Peg's story. That warmed my heart a whole bunch and we might have to try to track this miscreant down. <3 <3
