I was born in 1995. I'm going to talk about the 2000s.

You couldn't just be alienated at all times like you are with your smartphone now. Everything was slower, but in a good way. YouTube was at its peak from 2006-2010. Actual cool, fun creative videos or people nerding out. Everything began to suck after 2008. Pop culture became very cringe and gay, and then woke.

/b/ was always shit, but it had some really good threads and could make you bust a gut. And some threads were genuine and heartfelt. Now it's just porn and goons who whack off to it. Like we don't have ten boards for porn.

Oh, and the internet didn't have 3rd worlder niggers or shitskins on it like it does now. Way less spam. Every comment was authentic, you didn't have to worry if it was a bot or jeet trying to scam you.

The internet as a whole was more about connection, now it's about clout, shortform slop videos, pretending to have some life you don't have, or rage-baiting posts made by jeets and paki niggers who get paid for views.

You have no idea how much you've been scammed. You were born right around when the good times stopped. Everything is trash now, super expensive. I used to get 7 fucking double cheeseburgers from Mickey D's for $7.30. Not McDoubles, actual double cheeseburgers that weren't the size of hockey pucks. Now that'll cost you $28. This is all bullshit. I could go on all day about this.

The left are extremely evil and pedophilic so it's only fair that they should suffer.

Camping gear is expensive just like fishing gear. Unless you do it twice month it's not worth. It's only enjoyable when the weather is nice and outright miserable when it's cold, raining or sweltering. Also if it' mosquito season, enjoy getting eaten alive. I used to do camping thinking I could get away from it all for a three day weekend. What found is that once you're in your late thirties it becomes too exhausting to be enjoyable. Camping takes a lot of energy. I found that whenever I got back I was totally exhausted and needed a day to sleep and rest before returning to work. That's not a vacation. It's a weekend devoted to physical labor. Also it's a waste of time. You're not getting anything done in your home when you're fucking off with a campfire in the woods. I found that it wasn't helping me with bettering my life. It was a burden that drained my money, time and energy. At the end of it, it just made my life more miserable.

I dunno what it really says about me but the single mom stuff doesn't bother me anywhere as much as I've always hated people in positions of power that aggressively overcompensate for their flaws by trying to moralfag as hard as possible (or otherwise doing something similar), which only just compounds how ineffectual they are
