Every time I see people clamoring for the internet to be like it used to be before, I cannot help but wonder if they’re also thinking of fixing an issue from the old internet, which is that the world in “world wide web” often looked like this.
EDIT BECAUSE I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY IT: This map was meant to be an interpretation of the internet as it was in a vaguely remembered past, and was NOT intended to be a detailed, deeply researched, accurate representation of internet availability at any precise date.
it's super easy for my brain to just latch onto something and fall into an anxiety spiral for literal months/years. I'm not sure what the medical term for this is but I haven't really found a good remedy for this yet
I have somehow found that the most convenient way for me to watch blurays right now is to just hook up my ps3 and headphones to my computer monitor lmao
@irina for me it's just that I have an annoyingly inconvenient setup. the tv in my room is a bit too high, I have to sit on my bed without any support for my back, it's badly insulated in my apartment so it gets really hot/cold in here depending on the season, and also I have a job
trapped in a holding pattern where I watch youtube videos about physical media instead of like. using the physical media that I bought for the very purpose of not rotting on youtube dot com
I'm just going to kind of keep my head down and keep my distance from people unless they reach out. I don't really want to get up in people's faces if they feel that I've disrespected them and don't really consider us to be on good terms
it turns out that feeling like everything that's wrong in your life is your fault makes you snap eventually. but I'm also scared that I've been treating everyone wrong
ok I don't want to say much right now because I need to think about things but yeah that mental breakdown was inevitable with the way that things have been for me
