This is the most dystopian thing I've read in years.I'm so sorry this has to be considered :(

What movie trailer ruined the movie with how much it revealed?
As ridiculous as this movie was, I always thought that the trailer for Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace shouldn't have shown Darth Maul's double bladed lightsaber.

Which pill do you choose?
Blue pill. Restarting with all my knowledge, I might end up not meeting my soulmate and not having my kid, because of randomness. I can't have that.

What is your favorite passive agressive insult to send in chat?
Whenever someone has a very traditional, conservative discourse online, I like to ask if their vision is based on movement. 🦖

Sorry for the inconvenience
Gotta plan accordingly, or carry a poop knife.

What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence?
I'm a 45 years old male. The only alcohol I've been drinking since last summer is Smirnoff Ice.
People at the supermarket must think in buying this for a 16 years old.

What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?
When I'm home alone, I'll sometimes revert to my "first apartment" mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautéed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.
Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn't serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.

What is the strangest thing that you ever experienced?
It took place on a weekday morning, in the late 2000s, I dropped my ex at her workplace, and then I start driving towards my own workplace. I need to take a tunnel downtown, there's a traffic light just before the tunnel. The light is red, I wait. The light turns green, I go ahead, along with another car next to me.
Right behind me, in my mirror, I see police cars blocking the street at the traffic light. I'm the last car that went through the traffic light. No other cars can make it behind me.
I'm kinda freaking out. Why are the police cars blocking the way to the tunnel?
I then realize there are only two cars in the tunnel, mine, and the car just before me. No other car. At 9am. On a weekday. What the hell is going on?
I keep on driving, everything seems normal, apart from the complete lack of cars.
Eventually, I see the end of the tunnel, with police cars on either side of the road. And police officers making OBVIOUS signs with their arms : "Get the fuck out of there, quick, faster!".
Me and the other car make it out of the tunnel, then In my mirror, again, I see 4 police cars blocking the way out of the tunnel.
I turned on the radio. Nothing about this event. I searched the news websites for the whole day, I didn't find anything. I asked around, at work, in social media, nobody knew about this. I didn't think of calling the police station. I never learned what the hell happened in this tunnel.
My bet is it was either a bomb threat, or they had to catch a known criminal in this tunnel, or maybe a collapse danger of some kind. But the fact that it didn't make local news is mind boggling to me. I sometimes wonder if I dreamed this.

What's something small you achieved recently that you're proud of?
Restarted my show / podcast yesterday, 1 year after losing my co-host (and best friend) to cancer. Moving forward, without forgetting him.
Some would see this as a big step. It's one of the hundreds of things that I've been doing to move forward...

I agree with OP. Also, the subscription serfdom we live in, and the disappearance of the right to repair.
