    Mine was full of power metal. I don’t know if it’s just my brain deleting all the bad stuff, but it feels these times were so much better idk …

      I’ll join you in that (probable) delusion. Life was so much better, the internet was better, climate was better , TV was better.

      Of course I was younger and not as cynical and fucking tired of everything so that might explain my feelings

        That all predates an algorithm that wants to make you angry. The internet was better before people got good at squeezing every cent out of it.

        TV: mainstream streaming services didn’t exist and you were forced to watch whatever was on cable, unless you were one of the early movie pirates.

        Internet: dialup, shitty DSL, poorly designed web 1.0 sites. Need I say more?

        Life: yes, you were young and not cynical yet. That’s why it seemed better. As a fully grown adult in the early 2000s, things were not that different. I had the Iraq invasion, Bush, and the “war on terrorism” to be angry about.

        You got me on the climate thing though.

      You’re not wrong, they were better times for sure. The wild west of the internet days full of questionable clicks to sites and downloads. We were so young. We had so much to learn!

        I wouldn’t want to go back to that internet.

        Today it has some problems, but nothing which can’t be solved, before you had to deal with too much bullshit
