    It is weird. Too young for Gen X culture, too old for stuff like Harry Potter. Growing up alongside the internet, however, was indescribably cool.

      Even just like 15 years ago the internet was insane. Message boards sucked in a lot of ways and in others were quite good. Also there was clearnet drug sites operating like crazy and were super legit lol

        Honestly, I think watching in real time as platforms like Facebook and Twitter grimly foreclosed on the creative and experimental possibilities of the early internet was a large factor in my radicalization.

          Listening to Machinae Supremacy while quoting Mentor’s Last Words and Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.
