This place is now full of people who don't even remember a time without smartphones.
>>84447807Why do they all look like that? Is that what instagram and tiktok says looks good?
>>84447807I'm in my mid 30s and smart phones only improved my quality of life. OP is one of those Ted Kaczynski larpers -probably a simping tradcuck as well- who think too highly of humans.
>>84447868how the fuck is that what you take away from the post
>>84447880>zoomers le bad>smartphones le bad>le world before le dark age
>>84447894thats what you're imagining because you arent 30
>>84447847judging by some of the finer details like belt, necklace and zipper the image is obviously AI but there are people like this that move in flocks. not all identical but with a very similar style, like a group of guys who all have the safe sleazy look>whybecause normalfaggots crave social validation more than anything and having an in group does that for them
>>84447894Smartphones fucking suck and made you the boring retard you are. Wild west internet that wasn't following you around in your pocket 24/7 was the perfect balance.
>>84447922this, I miss when the internet was a hobby, something extra you visited when you wanted to
>>84447807i used to say that i was glad to be part of the last generation that grew up without the internet for socialization, but i dont say that anymore because ive come to the conclusion that human nature is, as it's core, completely unchanged, and that each generation exists in a state of perpetual self-discovery as if they were the first to ever experience it
>>84447922Yeah downloading shit from limewire and getting ghosted on ICQ was truly a different experience and everything turned to shit as soon as the same exact process happened on different platforms and devices. Get fucking real. The only thing that got worse is the entertainment industry, but that's a concentrated political effort.>boring You aren't any more of an interesting person than I am, you're just feeling nostalgic because you're old and miss the feeling of being young and you're dishonest.Let me guess, you think this place was amazing in the mid 2000s too, with le randumb dogshit memes which would now be seen as the image board equivalent of foam adventure.Fuck all of you.
>>84447960Yeah having ICQ on the computer you booted up in the evening is the exact same as having to be online and contactable 24/7
>>84447960I'm a zoomer and even I know that shit was better back then. Food, entertainment, gaming, everything.
>>84447960you seriously sound like a coping broccoli head who had an ipad in hand before even gaining consciousness
>>84447807when I was a kid phones were with monochrome screens and they were expensive af.
>>84447977If this is about employers then they just abused you on your cellphone. Everyone had to have those even in the 90s.>>84447983>entertainment, gamingI specifically excluded these. These were destroyed from the ground up by lunatics who grew more powerful over the decades and infiltrated the industry.>>84447984You sound like an asshurt balding assmongoloid viewer with back pain who can't deal with aging. Play the ashenvale soundtrack again and eat your diabetic jello you fucking toothless faggot.
>>84447960lmao that whole rant just shows how little you know you missed.The internet was the internet. The fun was the mystery of the world and not being able to immediately reach into your pocket and fact check stuff. Talking to your friends about games and rumours and calling their bullshit then going round his house and seeing he was telling the truth.Every generation will be nostalgic. And one day you too will see things somehow being more miserable than they are now.
>>84448053>The internet was the internet.yet another pearl of wisdom > The fun was the mysteryAnd I'm telling you that the sense of mystery was your brain still developing and having the capacity to enjoy things. That was all the magic. You would have killed for the tech we have today. I'm not denying that some things were lost like nerds dominating the video game industry and good amateur porn, but the "magic" was not any of these aspects of the internet, it was just neuroplasticity.
>>84447807tiktok zoomzooms have colonized us and they don't even like it here, they just did for cheap laughs, it's fucking harrowing
>>84447807Smartphones would be cool if they were more diverse. Instead they are all just flat square blobs. No innovation in design or tech
BRING ON THE SINGULARITYTRANSCENDTRANSCEND BIOLOGY
>>84448084No the sense of mystery was figuring out how to do shit through trial and error and having damn good fun with my friends doing it. But apparently 'pearls of wisdom' is so crucial to you you would rather ask chatgpt to spoonfeed the information then back to hunched over 90 degrees scrolling instagram.Fuck yeah fun! :D
>>84448133>Fuck yeah fun! :D
I barely remember what I did yesterday
>>84448139Ow my back
I intend to get rid of my smartphone. I have the flipphone selected already. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet cause I'm a pussy. I actually didn't have a smartphone til 2018 (I'm 33 for reference) and it's done nothing to better my life.
>>84447807I'm here..a millenial married mom :)
>>84448002>I specifically excluded theseBecause you know that these are the only two that really matter, the two things that make this hellhole that we call "life" worth living. The problem isn't that things have gotten worse over the past decade or so, no, it's that people are starting to care less. Why try anything anymore when your results always end up a failure?
>>84447960Lmfao based, I'm with you brother
>>84448286How many kiddos you got? You give them tablets?
>>844483411 and no, she only has a smart watch
>>84448286HAG MILF @_@AWOOGA BABE ALERTBOIOIOIOIOING
>>84447960yeah it was actually more fun back when the board headers were constantly being changed, music and memes were embedded based on the whim of the people running the place, and the boards felt dynamic and lively not repetitive and hostile. old memes are just as stupid as current memes but objectively there are less templates. and less community.
>>84448002>I specifically excluded these. These were destroyed from the ground up by lunatics who grew more powerful over the decades and infiltrated the industry.1. entertainment industry was created by jews and carnies as a wing for porn and prostitution 2. let me guess, gamergator?
I didn't get one until 2013. To me, it was one of the best things ever and I wish I would have gotten one sooner.
>>84447960>ICQUh oh!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iCPIUGnHQ8
>>84447807why are whites such npcs? is this their korean mushroom hair trend?
>>84447960>you're wrong about things getting worse>except for whats on people's tvs, phones, radios, games consoles, a large part of the internet and morewaow
>>84449056Those things got worse because of political activism, not because of technology like you assholes keep saying.You would have LOVED to have LLMs and generative AI to meme with back in the 2000s and you would have loved to have a computer with you at all times.Your games and TV shows are dogshit because of bolshevik mutts and jews seeped into the industry at every level, not because you have a more modern device.
>>84449115>smartphones become ubiquitous and mean any niggercattle can access the internet>this causes the proliferation of shortform content>niggercattle LOVE shortform content>media and entertainment becomes garbage because they are catering to high time preference goycattle
>>84447807What else did you even expect, what a stupid sentiment. Are you pulling my leg op?
>>84447807what ethnicity are they? they look so brown with dyed hair
>>84447807Zoomers have made the chans so much worse to use. I miss when it was just millennials and older. Then time passes and zoomers starting coming in with their nigger slang and brocolli headed retardation and memes and make it a drag, totally cramping our style.
