@stavvers@masto.ai Was talking to someone the other day about the bad old pre-internet days when we would see someone in a film and think "I know them from something else... What was that?" and then would just never find out.

@Spudman101@glitch.social @stavvers@masto.ai It annoys my spouse when I turn to the internet to answer these questions. He really wants the moral victory of remembering it for himself. 😆

@Spudman101@glitch.social @stavvers@masto.ai ...or your mate would insist that they were in film X until he was blue in the face, and you'd later repeat it to someone else - and it turns out your mate was wrong and now there's a room full of people laughing at you 😂

@Spudman101@glitch.social @stavvers@masto.ai an entire afternoon's conversation at the pub killed by a single Google search. I'm not sure that is progress.
