Internet is great. Social media is a fricking cancer.

Absolutely...100% truth. Ruination started the day they fired it up. Nowadays, the sickest can find gross content 24 hours a day, and find each other to drive their echo chambers and violence..
We would be better if it was gone and we all had to talk face to face again.

Do you have a username generator to create your alter accounts?

If there’s a setting that would allow you to eliminate the two numbers at the end that may help keep it secret better.

Well, that and not start posting Nazi stuff on day one.

To non history buffs, yes it is. But it really isn't.

You don’t think the nightly news would’ve been reporting the same thing?

You are going to be banned for creating another alter, Adolph.

You are the TEMU version so you got the TEMU spelling.

You don’t have the stones to be anything close to the real thing. Just furious typing on the internet.

Seek help.

Post WW2 in the 50’s/60’s


because segregating a whole race of people was so great then they botched the desegregation and economic policies broke the black community

Went and fought 2 wars for no good reason

also sexual revolution of the 60s was a disaster

I like porno

The fact that people can openly state this with no moral conviction behind a keyboard and an anonymous profile is one of the reasons the internet has been our downfall. Would you announce this to anyone in public?


No, I would not announce in public that I like porno. I also wouldn’t announce it to my mom. I wouldn’t announce it on Facebook. My good friends all know, though. So not sure what your point is.

Social media has completely destroyed an entire generation of girls and women. It wrecked their lives.

I don’t like how the internet has helped spread radical leftism.
we are the media now.

People for decades have been brainwashed by state controlled media and now everyone with a phone has their own voice and ability to put out their own media. the pendulum has started to swing back to the right and young adult males are more conservative than they have been in many election cycles

That’s why we need to make sure free speech is protected on the internet. They were silencing conservative and right wing voices left and right before Trump came into office

The world didn't bombard you with the world... You got your half hour blurb of nightly news and most of it was local...and you weren't available all hours or when out of the house except when at work.

You lived your life, not obsessing about everything beyond your control or a million miles away.

Very true.

I love videos on home repair and finding an answer to a question quick, but the rest is used toilet water

I was being facetious to point out how retarded the OPs argument is. Of course life would be better if we had no information otherwise. But that's not reality.

I believe costs have outpaced the benefits. Net negative, particularly when it ushered in the social medias.
