Discussion Was your life better pre Internet?

No way. I was bullied and SAd as a child. My last 10 years has been significantly better than my first 10. (Yet my like is still this miserable)

I only knew how to use the internet well enough at like 9 years old but I would say I became "addicted" to the internet at 13 years old when covid came out more or less

so I couldn't tell you exactly but my life was well when I was 9, 10 and more It didn't affect me particularly I think it will affect next generations a lot more though especially the kids who have internet since 3 years old that's definetly worrying especially those that grow up watching short form content which didn't exist for me until I was already well enough a teenager although tiktok existed since 201 something I never used it I did get to use youtube shorts and so more which I will say did affect me but to be honest I also have a lot of issues that came out that have nothing to do with youtube shorts but because of the internet but this only happened later

I will say if the internet didn't exist society would be better and I would be a whole different person including if my internet access was restricted but only for me but I might have had a worse life without short attention span and I could read and do more that I wish to do but other than that the only difference would be that I never become blackpilled or study theology or history and instead I would be forced to socialize and the only way I did that back then was by jestermaxxing which I did until I was about 15 after that I couldn't do that since I didn't have any friends and I realized it was useless and only earned you disrespect people don't laugh with you but at you and when I was 16 I discovered the blackpill I was also raised in a Christian home but If I didn't have free time because of lack of real friends after middle school and also partially in middle school then I wouln't know my religion and I would be a leftist because that's what every immigrant is made to be especially those that aren't muslims like asians, muslims vote left but they're not leftists at all which is one of the good things from them

I think I would be doing very normie things to fit in but I would fail like I would probably make more efforts in either my studies or in people's perceptions I would probably also ask out girls and that would end terrible I'm glad I never had to do that

I was born at the end of '95 and we had Windows '98 when it came out so I didn't use it much but mid 2000's I lived on the computer.
