Suppose I read some news, looked at naked girls, did proto-group-chats by email with friends and family from late 90s-04.

04-06 some facebook, some myspace. Craigslist hookups. I think I had an e*trade account.

07-10 were the real pivot years. Sucked into some sports forums and, of course, xo.

By 2012 I was Online.

It really charts my overall decline in happiness perfectly

It’s funny to think that just a week of thingdoing, seeing family and friends and chatting with cab drivers and pet store cashiers et al. is all it takes to learn everything you need to know about the key developments of the past 5-10 years and the general vibes of the next 5-10

so outside of one’s local community, specific profession or niche hobbies etc., there’s literally no need to follow the general “news”

i was in a park about ten years ago in my hometown, and a guy I went to high school with came rolling past on a bmx, doing tricks.

i flagged him down and he did a nose-wheelie right in front of me. He stopped and we chatted for about 15 minutes. He didnt know shit about any of our mutuals, so I shared a lot of that.

As the conversation ended, I said "lemme get your number".

He grinned and said, "I dont have a cell phone, but here's the line at the house." And then he rolled off and jumped the bike over a little bush

What were you doing on Craigslist hookups in 04-06? Sounds pretty Online to me.

i didn't buy a smartphone until 2014

i was probably Online in spirit before then - i was already a poaster in my teens. but pre-smartphone i don't think i was ever truly primarily in The Matrix just as much or more as i was irl
