The ones with viruses were always at top and had basically the same title with the name of the song at the beginning.

I rode a Haro BMX bike with front and back pegs and could do a flatground freestyle nose tailwhio by bonking into a nose wheelie with the front brake, stepping (manually) over to the front left peg, and then right foot to the right peg, (manually) nudging my foot against the bmx bike frame,
so that it would (manually) start to rotate
>all while the bike balanced in a nose wheelie
and the rest of the frame would rotate around and I would then do a little dance
by stepping back from the front pegs onto the
bmx bicycle pedals

i liked when the ladies peed or were on a public bench showing their triangular vaginal fuzz.
women were very pink "down there"
in that era.
Now they are very brown and blown out in the pussy sentinel.

women weren't molded to be as vile as they are now, some even liked to bake.
AIM MESSENGER conversations were their attention fill up.
Social media means they get attention from several thousands of weiners at once.

Smartphones ruined the internet by flooding it with normalfags.

facebook is the perfect representation of the median of its gayness i think
where reddit is more of the autistic extremist example.
I think digg is coming back,
but when usenet died out, the ebaumsworld accepted humor also die out.
the seriousness expected for online browsing created an emotional immaturity. those that could handle fucking off were way smarter than normies.

now people are like this and they live 24/7 in some sort of hollywood acting role in their own mind. people are more plastic than ever and the most rude and groteqsue languaged typed who could fuck off are not nannies to climate woes and preaching to others how to be as big of a genius as they are inside of their own minds.
the arrogance has created a tunnel of shit people clogging up the highway to an authentic human trait.

The shitty part is that S9 has the USB charging port as a separate module, this one has USB-C port directly soldered on the motherboard. Which means all USB repair is a solder job, not flipping modules.

I still don't use my smartphone for anything more than texting/calling/alarm clock.

Fuck nokia.
Lan sessions were the peak of civilization. The best of all worlds.
Drinking beer and smoking weed in a friend's basement with 6-7 friends and some drunkem girls, setting up their computers next to each other and playing 5v5 cs1.6, quake, ut99 over the internet in clanbase against teams from the USA, sweden etc.
We knew each other, were friends and the internet was just ours. Nothing for normalfags or those zoomer subhumans.
Anyone who prefers corpo internet and corpo social life is retarded or <=zoomer.

Nothing has ever been closer to heaven and nothing ever will be again. Absolute freedom, only people with passion.

Bro this reminds me so much of my youth....1999 I met a hot slightly older Italian student when I was 21, she was 26. We met randomly on the beach in Santa Monica, CA.
She came over to the East Coast and visited me, and we camped all along the East Coast and Appalachia. Made love ever day several times a day.
We tried to make it work for a couple of years, but I was younger and uneducated and she was just finished with her dissertation.
We used Messenger to keep in touch and shitty international calling cards. I remember being so excited when I got messages from her.
Great times. Before the dark times, before 9-11, and 2020, before the globalist rainbow kike/islamist corporate empire that ruined everything.
You young folks have it bad. But you are protesting in support of the same globalist rainbow diddlers that ruined everything. Curb stomp an international socialist today, and save your future.
Protest next to a socialist,and you deserve your slavery and misery.

In hindsight I really miss that time, especially the early 2000s. Even it being the post-9/11 era where there was this uncertainty and pessimism, as well as the start of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars.
There was still this feeling of social-cohesion. You had a bit of advanced technology but it didn't take over life yet, you could do a lot of the same things that you can do now.
No strong focus on transgenderism, identity politics, social media, etc. There was no OnlyFans.

my genX problem is that I never enjoyed anything since the 1990s were worse than the 80s, the 2000s worse than the 90s and so on. It always seemed to live in peak degeneracy and decay. Only retrospectively you could find redeeming qualities in previous decades.

Microsoft did everything they could to kill MSN messenger, even before smartphones was a thing they frequently banned alternative MSN j2me clients and refused to just release their own for free because some select carriers had paid for a monopoly on it, a retarded, greedy decision that ultimately killed the service.

When it finally came to everyone on smartphones people had moved on to other platforms that offered messaging without a specific handful of cellphone carriers.

I still have a dumbphone. It's just comfy to not think about the phone all that much and don't worry if you lose it. It's a ~20 Euro loss and that's it, no personal information in it, no photos, no registrations, no bank accounts, it's light weight, not bulky, and it doesn't annoy me with updates and stuff.
