>try to get involved in an online community related to one of my interests>it's full of high schoolers who act like annoying dumb kids and see me as an unc because I'm 26
The internet isn't for that kind of stuff anymore. That was back in the Gen X and Millennial days when we still had Netizens
lean into the persona and youll be fine though putting up with their shenanigans is hard though
that's how I feel here at 36
>>85090094Interacting with little Tiktok kids who like the same thing you do but they're REALLY annoying about it and they like it in an objectively wrong way is REALLY annoying
>>85090094Lmao zoomers getting a taste of their own medicine. You retards invaded /r9k/ and called all of us oldfags unc. With that said yeah it sucks anon, youngfags think being retards memespouting and acting like they don't care about anything is cool and they'll always ruin a community. I used to despise zoomers but the older they've gotten the more I've grown to like them, next generation will be the same and the generation after them will ruin shit for them and call them name for being old.
>>85090094the internet isnt for us anymore, im 25. thats why there are so many laws coming after and trying to tie shit to real identities now. its ruined. i just spend my time playing games alone or traveling now.
>>85090094make them call you daddy
>>85090094find irl communities related to your interesthonestly im envious of the original users of this site, getting to go to fun cons and actually do stuff and engage with the things they like
>>85090254irl interaction scares me.
>born too young to experience the old internet>born too old for the new internet >born just in time to see the world collapse in real timeBeing an older zoomer sucks.
all you have is 4chanyou will die for hitler
>>85090278the old internet was great
>>85090094Maybe instead of partaking in interests of high schoolers you should start a family?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msxsu448JmE
>>85090588> you should start a family?Oh really? And what's the first step in starting a family, faggot? And what happens in 50% of all marriages faggot?
>>85090094Lol ok unc
>>85090094>high schoolers who act like annoying dumb kidsUnc not beating the allegations with this one
im so old even when i do what i think of as childish zoomer shit im too old for it is populated exclusively by uncs. like i play overwatch which to me is so far removed from tf2, which is removed from tfc, but still nobody under 25 plays it. idk where id actually run into a genuine gen alpha. my brain is too old coded to ever be in the same circles.
>>85090740Plenty of people under 25 play Overwatch and TF2, TFC not as much.
>>85090724>>85090664Being lower in intelligence and maintaining a trajectory of intellectual decline is not something to be proud about.
>>85090765NTA but sorry 'unc', we unfortunately 'mog' you, as we say.
>>85090769Read this: being lower in intelligence (and maintaining a trajectory of intellectual decline) is not something to be proud about.
>>85090790Relax old man, I know the elevated blood pressure is getting to you but learn to take a joke.
>>85090795Observe: >Relax old man, I know the elevated blood pressure is getting to you but learn to take a joke.
>>85090808I'm observing oldfag. I observe a blank line followed by the message I sent 4 minutes ago. You mind illuminating my inferior zoomer mind on what's going on?
>>85090821Nothing is going on but I have to leave now. I will say this, definitely pick up reading books, real ones, the ones that you physically hold - do that instead of scrolling because otherwise your brain may be destroyed by the time you are an 'oldfag' or an 'unc'. Definitely pick up a book and read instead of scrolling, it is way better. That is all I have to say. Farewell!
>>85090094I'm 20 and I already feel too old for the internet and video games because of this. I feel awkward for even posting here sometimes because there's a chance the person responding to me is like 14.
>>85090867I choose to believe that everyone on here is an adult despite knowing that I first browsed here at 12 and became a regular poster at 14.
>>85090848That's a funny thing to say because I guarantee I have read more literature, historical records, light novels, manga, web novels, fuck it, even more encyclopedias and textbooks than you. The truth is that internet slang continues to be a part of modern internet culture that eludes you at every corner of your pathetic life, and you can't keep up with or justify your own positions, so you morally grandstand about education and intelligence. Eat dick and die faggot.As for what the original guy was saying, he was insinuating that OP is a an old pedophile, but I doubt you have the neurons to figure that out.
>>85090302>be able to find scat, cartel executions, or cp at any time on /b/>dial up internet speeds>all animes were 480p>all mangos were jpgs that was resized 10 times>epic fail!It was good because it was the forefront of an expanding culture, with fresh and new ideas and technology. In many ways, what we have now is superior. In other ways, not so much.
>>85090094I'm not trying to be a total jerkoff but I feel a lot more mature / 'smarter' than the average 18-21 year old my age. It's kinda really sad because I feel l don't deserve it. I'm stuck being too normal for the internet and being too weird for real life now.
>>85090588Wowzzers! I'm sure that thought has never crossed his mind!
>>85090094back in 00s people where mocking me for being underage. The internet was place for adults.
>>85090924Observe:>That's a funny thing to say because I guarantee I have read more literature, historical records, light novels, manga, web novels, fuck it, even more encyclopedias and textbooks than you. >The truth is that internet slang continues to be a part of modern internet culture that eludes you at every corner of your pathetic life, and you can't keep up with or justify your own positions, so you morally grandstand about education and intelligence. >Eat dick and die faggot.>As for what the original guy was saying, he was insinuating that OP is a an old pedophile, but I doubt you have the neurons to figure that out.
>>8509102710/10 ragebait unc, but you only get a rating that high because it's hard to tell if old faggots like you are being serious or not.
>>85091041nah, like fr jit trippin>>85091027ayo blud, u need 2 pop sum an roll over on dem gud times, like ong
>>85090094I just accepted my role as unc, I really don't give af lmao, maybe that in itself shows I truly am an unc. At the end of the day, the age gap between me and then isn't even that large, but I also am at different stage in life so I don't mind being labeled as such as I'd feel weird leaning too hard into being one of their peers. Like yeah, I know the trends and slang and am hip with the kids, but like, idk, not for me
Gotta find an unc to team up with and get all you damn whippersnappers don't know about whatever was popular when you guys were young. I'm older than you lmao. That being said, discord sucks ass.
>>85090790Zoomers can't read, remember? He probably used chatgpt to summarize the thread for him.
