I remember the internet back in the early 2010s and using Chat Roulette with my sister and her boyfriend at the time. It really was just a bunch of people jacking off or showing their boobs to the screen and I guess at the age of 18/19 we didn’t think anything was too weird about it! 😂

All that part about being sucked into computer is from the movie Tron (1982) with Jeff Bridges. It was the very first movie to feature CGI. In that movie programs were made to fight each other like gladiators using light bikes - that's why Stan is disappointed about Yahtzee. It also had cool sequel in 2010 which kept the design, but updated the graphics.

First movie to use CGI was Vertigo in 1958, which used it in the opening credits. First feature-film to use it in the storyline of a live action film was Westworld (1973). Star Wars also predates Tron by 5 years and used a ton of CGI.

The issues with Wendy describe very accurately how social media can turn relationships toxic and even broke them. Years ago I had a friend who had a boyfriend at college, and a few months after finishing college, they started to see less and used Facebook to keep in contact till weekend. However, my friend started to become paranoid after watching photos of her bf with other girls who should have been just she-friends, and they broke up. Moral of the story: don't take seriously nor depend on social media, they can make you keep in contact, know how is someone or contact people, but a real relationship or friendship is when you are really hanging out in person and sharing experiences in the real world. Human relationships need real contact sooner or later.

It's a game built to prey upon weak peoples' desperate need for validation and attention. MySpace and Facebook started with "Friends", and that's all they were supposed to be. It was constructed to be about exclusivity, only limiting the people who can interact with you to the people you allow because you know them. It wasn't until later that it became a popularity game and then that really ramped up with Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat where they changed it from "Friends" to "Followers". That's how I see it at any rate.

6:00 I could be wrong, but I believe this is literally the first time in the entire series up to this point that the character of Grandma Marsh appears. Think about it, we know Grandpa Marsh from season 1, but never hear anything of Sharon's parents, or Randy's mom. But all of a sudden, because they needed old lady Facebook friends I guess, the character is created, shoehorned in, and just as quickly forgotten. The plot would've worked just as well with Grandpa. But, saying that, I do adore this episode, a very good parody of Facebook and social media in general, and an excellent use of Tron imagery.

Chat Roulette and Omegle launched in the same year (2009), but Chat Roulette was more popular at first. Omegle definitely blew up with the pandemic and all the people like Harry Mack (do a reaction) Marcus Veltri, Rob Landes and Frank Dedesco.

Casa Bonita has had a couple of soft openings to my understanding but it's not fully open for business yet.

Most people will likely ignore your words though since it’s not fitting their beliefs. If there’s one thing I’ve learned on social media, it’s that vanity metrics like followers don’t mean anything. It just means you were able to get the masses to follow you or engage with your content. The best and most informative content I’ve found has always been by more niche people which get low view counts and small followers. I would rather follow someone like that rather than what everyone else follows, this goes for just about everything.
