Sorry, been drinking and smoking. It was a really different time. The way people communicate on the internet is so fucked now and this place kind of reminds me of the way things used to be. . . if not for all the fucking twitter screenshots.

fuck twitter screenshots.

      Same boat. So much time on /b/ on the school computers when we were kids.

      Looking back, life could have sent me down a way worse path if I kept up with that shit.

          Yeah, the antisemitism creep was ongoing just as I left. Looking back now I'm glad I got out.

          The time there had primed me to be more savvy about online communities, to be able to stand lurking through fucked up shit if I need to and know when to keep an eye on particular spots on the internet that might bubble up. It was worth it, in the end.
