    Damn, a lot has happened to me this quarter-century. I was 8 years old when it started and now I’m an adult with three degrees, trying to start my career

    I knew the internet and social media would change things.

    Didn’t expect to have the stupidity of humanity laid quite so bare though.

    We live in a world where wisdom is more important than ever. You can post two opposing views and get thousands of people agreeing with both sides and sometimes even data to back up both sides. So which do you pick when more people than you’ll meet in real life agree with both ends?

    It’s frighteningly easy to fold yourself into an echo chamber now. And humans are hardwired to like easy.

        At the time I didn’t think I was good looking, but compared to the guy staring me back in the mirror I was looking pretty good.

    I’m simultaneously posting anime tiddies and chatting with a dude named Allah on the Fediverse. First quarter of the 21st century is pretty solid. Can’t complain.
