Wasn't life better before all of this shit anyway? They sap our time and energy and offer nothing of value in return. They're not fun. They don't help us to grow as people. We're nothing but ad revenue to them. And as far as I'm concerned, conservatives who centralize all of their shit on those sites are sellouts. DON'T FUND YOUR OWN SLAVERY.

The internet was a lot more exciting and fun when you had to look around a bit more, discover new sites, new browsers and apps, etc. It might not feel so great to nuke this entire part of your life, but in doing so you'll make the internet fresh and new again.

It's especially heartbreaking seeing the effect on kids today who are really just trying to make the best of things. They never stood a chance.

It's almost funny if you try to talk to a teenager today. I was in walmart and talking to a kid, stock boy, and he couldn't carry a conversation. They're so used to communicating via cell phone or the interweb they get stuck without their emojis.

A lot of them are actually afraid to call people since they're so sheltered by texting.

Honestly I've been there. I used to spend like all day in chat rooms and had a hard time communicating in person. So I understand it, but it's sad that it's such a widespread thing now.

I was thinking of this recently. Whenever I need to communicate with anyone, it's via text. I'm getting to the stage where I actually hate calling. Sometimes even going to see someone face to face.
