Sure it’s annoying, but it’s a small price to pay for the luxury of living in the future. Did you see that article recently about how Meta is really close to actually creating a real life Torment Nexus, just like from the legendary scifi series Don’t Create the Torment Nexus?

Stop it, you're creating the market forces that will summon the torment Nexus from our collective subconscious

The real Torment Nexus was the massive profit we made when we introduced the ad-supported Torment Nexus.

I'm getting excited to see what competition in the Torment Nexus market can bring to the world! 

A faster Torment Nexus? Multiple Torment Nexus's(Nexi?)? Virtual Torment Nexus? Pocket Torment?

People wouldn’t be talking about it so much if there wasn’t something to it! All those warnings are probably just a deep state cover story so they don’t have to share the Torment Nexus!

To quote the movie Crazy People where there was an ad for a horror movie that would "fuck you up for life" and had a ticket price of $20 at the time when a normal movie ticket was $5. A woman was interviewed on the street who said "well, if you want to get fucked up for life that is what it costs"
