Person: no one knows how chatbots work
Me: yah, they're like trains that way, you just gotta hop aboard and hope they don't break or that anyone asks to validate your ticket

The scariest part of Found footage #3 is when Wall Dad threatens to call the cops, and Ravi is so tired and exhausted from the backroom wanderings that he, in full knowledge that these are american cops, say "actually, yes, do call the cops"
Scholars: the 21st century is primarily characterized by traditional markers of adulthood being increasingly out of reach for more and more people, thus creating an increased sense of permanent liminality
