Idk what age your dad is, but I’m 53 (gen-x) and my generation are notorious for being difficult to market to. Maybe he just blanks it out, like an automatic mute button. I used to do that but ads are far too mentally disruptive for me these days. I’ve had enough.
I despise ads. I can’t even bring myself to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime. If there is advertising, it ain’t worth it, no matter how cheap.
I’m a cis het man, and I’d rather be stuck in a forest with a bear than a strange man.
No. Not unless you want a nasty-gram from your ISP.
Trek memes are getting so weird.

Yes. There’s a producer, writer, edge-lord guy who got this kind of shit rolling back in the 00s. I don’t remember his name but despite hating ST, he worked on a fair number of shows. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still around working on these recent “dark and gritty” Trek shows.
Quake and Doom. Maybe binge some shows. Mid 2000s PCs are plenty powerful for a lot of tasks/entertainment.
Here a truth no one wants to acknowledge: smart phones suck. Both iOS and Android are awful. Phones are unrepairable future e-waste. Being able to use your phone as a desktop has never happened beyond Samsung’s DeX for reasons I can’t comprehend, because there’s no good reason they couldn’t be. Smart phones are trash and have made the world a worse place.
What a weird question. I download music I like. Sometimes I buy stuff on Bandcamp or download from YT. I don’t use Spotify and I’m an album/artist listener. Am I missing something here? Do people not have personal music libraries any more? Do people now just listen to whatever bullshit Spotify randomly plays? If so, that’s sad.
Krita has a better brush engine and the AI plugin is amazing. The live AI painting with layers is so cool. It’s like magic
