I’m a regular guy, I’m about 23 years old, I work at a job with a flexible schedule, the job is more or less acceptable, although sometimes it’s very annoying because of the extra repairs. Lately, I’ve been really wanting to go to festivals with cosplayers and stuff, but time is tight, and because of AI and data centers, there is even less time than there could be. And I never even went on a date, I constantly postponed everything for later, and now it seems to me that everything is lost.

        Now I don’t feel as old lol, we were on dial up when I was a teen and finally got access to high speed when I hit college, then shortly after I got high speed for myself at my apt. Before that there was smoking in malls and restaurants.

      Technically I predate the internet

      That doesn’t exactly mean much tho…

      I was born in 2002, y’all westerners got the internet very early, but internet didn’t really exist in the part of China where I lived up till my family emigrated… many developing countries also didin’t have internet…

      Parents didn’t really use the internet till like 2014/2015, and the first thing they did was make a WeChat account and now they just go on there all the time lmfao
