30s brahs know, even if it was only childhood we remember what it was like before the internet was a common thing.

brb going to the library, using the index cards to look up books and using a hard copy encyclopedia to write some essay in elementary school


Hell even in college when myspace first came out, everyone had flip phones and you had to use a website to do it, now the chit is literally in your pocket. Its a different world now.

Like yeah we had video games in the 90s but we would ride bikes during the day, play basketball, baseball ect and then play mortal kombat on SNES. now days they watch videos online of other people playing games and watch all this ****gy twitch chit, those kids have no chance man

I get watching for tips and strategies n chit, but not watching for the sake of watching. One reason I never got into Twitch.

Let's not digresstoomuch into nostalgia though.
I'm back, bitches!

Back then, strangers used to add each other all the time and just be, like, normal. "LOL, are you so-and-so's roommate? We should hang out." Now we get motherfukkers on here unironically claiming that they believe human interaction no longer occurs and that Instagram DMs with wannabe prostitutes are their only chance.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Could not agree more brah. I deleted my Instagram a few months back and haven't been on since. Though I do find myself on the MISC a lot more lately but I suppose it's the lesser of two evils.

Except it's like addiction, can't seem to delete it because I feel like I will miss out on something.

Instagram is still ok since I follow helpful pages or pages that interest me. I don't follow any sloots that wouldn't reply back to my DMs either
******** is so easy to live without. I grew up in the ******** prime age and I still deactivated that chit.

No ******** for 12 years crew, srs.

It's called social media, and yet makes you anti-social...

Agree, with some caveats. I got out from FB early before it became the norm, all my “friends” (who I don’t talk to anymore) were all like what’s wrong.

The “normies” are on ig/snap constantly while the contrarians are totally against it.

I took the contrarian advice so seriously for a few years that I didn’t even take pictures of good memories.

I kind of regret that. And during lockdown now, it’d be so easy to have an ig with lifestyle pics because chicks take it pretty seriously nowadays. Have some cool pics, follow chicks and if they follow back, dm, etc.

The only choice for me now is to ascend above all, get in the best shape of my life and make more money, so whenever lockdown ends I can hit the bars hard

You do realize that just because we’re not in a war doesn’t mean we can’t have other forms of conflict

I'm not one to dive into the news much, or have a political discussion, or prone to anxiety, mostly a positive dude (seratonin levels seem to stay pretty steady.)

But I notice a huge decrease in my overall mood the more I am exposed to social media, news, forums, etc.

Stuff isn't good for you friends, moderate it at the least, go outside and leave your phone inside for a little while.

That includes this website and reddit btw, cause these two sites are where all other social media goes to die cause people post the worst from other social media sites to these forums and reddit to make a spectacle of it.

Reddit especially I have never seen a more toxic website ever, it's where all the worst social media posts go cause all of the bigger subreddits are dedicated to the worst of other websites i.e tiktok cringe/insane people ********/public freakout etc etc makes you think the world is crap cause it's all the worst filtering onto the front page.
