Not sure where to post this but the American prison system is pretty fucked so this comm will do. Cool/weird thread to read. Highlights:

youtube does look cool. i have used it a little but i get a lot of suggestions that i don't like, like right wing stuff and i dont know why.

my cousin told me to check out the reddit site but i didn't like it. he said this place might be better and i've been readind a little here and i like the conversation form here more than the reddit thing.

honestly though and many of you might not believe it but i am a happy person now. and after many years of not seeing a single tree i can enjoy sitting on my mom's porch and watching the birds. i like that a lot and it brings me peace.

    They used to be one of the more chill ones of that era. What did I miss?

        Yeah, there were some bad times there, that is true. That was everyplace on the internet at that time though. The entire culture was pretty toxic. It was alot better than the pvp forums, or gamrfaqs, or like... Gaia. Remember digg? That place was a shithole.

            I mean, 4chan got kicked off SA for being terrible. It was still better than like most of reddit is today. At least on the boards I went on we didn't like lowtax and he didn't like us. Well, it turns out he hated himself more than we did but you know. Given how moot got started on adtrw you are right that there terrible forces there.

              That was my experience too. I was only on the fringes and only as a lurker, but when Lowtax died, the places I visited on SA were outright celebrating.

        Imagine if the internet could put their collective MKULTRA abilities towards something useful and not badgering some sap from virginia for like twenty years. Operation Clambake was a glimpse at what what we could have had
