As someone whose girlfriend watched the Riverdale show and talked a lot about the story lines and characters, I cannot advise enough against checking it out. Unless you enjoy train wrecks. Then you should absolutely check it out.
A bunch of my friends had kids and now they only hang out with other parents.
We’re not like asking to go clubbing, but our D&D group died off. We used to do online gaming but it’d impossible to schedule with parents. Stuff like that.
And I mean, life happens, it’s okay, I don’t mind hanging out with their kids around. I just want a bit more of their slice of the life pie, but it’s hard to compete with hanging out while someone else’s kids entertain your kids.
This is a temporary period, kids can start entertaining themselves more usually by 7 or 8 years old, and they can start doing all day or overnight play dates, which frees up a lot of time for parents to reengage

This is an ad. You're posting advertisement.

That ad makes me to never buy their product

Yeah it’s exposing a shitty chatbot prompt if anything. Easy pass.

Ahh paid shill posting to the account? Publishing intern on the spectrum?

Why would a "paid shill" post on an official account? That's not what a shill is

Yes, but an AI slop ad that went hilariously wrong.
Seriously, are you thinking about reading some Archie comics now because of this? Or do you have a sliver of agency in your own life?
Edit: I'm not calling the post AI slop, I'm saying this is obviously a chatbot-managed account that was accidentally too honest, which makes it funny.

And did chatbots use twitter back then?
Xerxos@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 37d
Chatbots before the LLM revolution were simple scripts with placeholders. They could not go rogue.

Not like this, no

Chatbots sent emails in 2002. I vaguely remember spam

They can try to keep me out of Riverdale, the punks. I'll get Jughead one of these days.

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

But doctor, I am Archie Comics.

I bought an Archie comic recently and it was bitter and sad.
Like entire comics about how older bands were better and kids are wrong kind of thing.
I genuinely think that’s still how the writers see the world and it’s not just a tweet.

Man if you think that's bitter and sad then you should check out Riverdale

Of course I enjoy train wrecks. That's why I play Derail Valley. Oh, you don't mean literal train wrecks, do you?

I kind of appreciate the honesty at least?

Thank fuck lots of my friends are childfree like us, and most of the others still make room for having a life outside of kids.
My parents made the super smart move to move to a future proof house.
I grew up in SO many different neighborhoods, it doesn't matter at all.
And I'm not getting old damnit!

Yes ….but your coworkers will probably come to you and ask you about things like fax machines. 🥲

I am infertile and thus incapable of having children

Excuse me, you may possess as many children as you can find and run away with
Fertility got shit to do with that, it's all about legs.
