  • Don’t forget all the teenage girls saying “If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”.

    Back before that became a stereotype of immaturity. Pretty sure it became a stereotype because 80% of girls under the age of 22 had this on their profile. If comment upvotes had existed at the time, it would have had universal upvote support.

    Then those girls grew up, and we all started mocking those types of phrases. Because everyone looked back and said “well that was stupid!”


  • I wish I could link you to my angelfire website. I mean, I can. It’s still there. It’s just when I was 14 I put my real name embedded in the website. Which wasn’t a big deal in 1998. I cannot imagine doing that today.

    But I had a little java script thing that let you pick the background color. Default was blue, but there were like 6 buttons for different colors.

    I randomly got the urge to see where my websites were. Turns out Angelfire is still up. Geocities and MySpace are both gone.



  • Ah the internet. Where people will say some common knowledge, then someone else will come by and challenge that knowledge, thus pointing out that the common knowledge is actually wrong. So now I’m left to wonder “Wait, where did I even hear that from to begin with?”

    And the answer is probably some guy on the internet. Just a statement that presents no reason to challenge it, so it becomes accepted as fact for decades. Until one night at 3am, you realize you can’t actually defend how you know it’s right, and maybe this other guy saying it’s wrong is right.

    This is my life now. Random strangers fight on the internet, as I question reality.




  • The only part that makes your comparison absurd is the fact that there’s nothing special about 2006.

    In your head, right now, imagine the 1950s. There’s a distinct style you’re seeing, isn’t there?

    Now picture 2006. How is the image any different than today, besides the cars today being computers on wheels?

    We would be glorifing 2006, if there was anything worthwhile about it.
