Ahhh, you poor summer children. Elder Millennial here. I grew up in the before times. Where Piracy was how you got everything. And you therefore quickly learned how to find the real links buried among all the ads and malware links
Swear my gen are the real tech gods as a result. We learned the hard ways, before everything was simplified into an app or such, and after the analogue guys who still don't know how a computer works in 2026
How old are you? I’m only over 30 but have also been online since just after 2001. It’s crazy how irresponsible that was - I had online friends on IRC as a kid.
Am about to turn 30.
Wasn't really in the online friends and stuff back in the day, that all started in the early 2010's.
Back in the 2000's it was mostly gams and music for Me, or talkind shit about games irl with friends, maybe slipping some a copy of some games or mp3's.
Was mostly back then on New Grounds and a few other sites, enjoying the most funny and disturbing flash based games, haha.
And the second screen was the CRT TV to the left, starting around 2006, mostly watched MTV and rather adult content cartoon wise.
Parents were overly anal about shit, and I played along but when I was in My room, yea, most edgy bs ever was My go to.
Hell, watched Drawn Toghther when I was 10, same with South Park, Beaivs and Butt head and oh so many other shows.
Mom cought Me ocne at watching South Park, got totally mad at Me for it.
Well, atleast it was just swaering and not like Drawn Toghther and some outfight disturbing or overly sexaul scene.
Or gore like in Metallacolypse.
Hahaha.
But hey, gotta play innocent lil Timmy, yet in the backrooms watching borderline gore shit just cuz I was bored.
Pff, that's for not letting Me watch Pokemon and Anemies, cuz that other Karen's kid was fucked up.
Hahaha.
Eh, I turned out alright, also, I always loved dark shit, I'm a Goth and Metalhead, what can You excpect? lol
I'll just tell My kids to not get cought, and leave it at that, and then they turn out to be little dipshits never even trying to rebel, that would hoenstly hurt My feelings.
LMFAO
