i'm on the last season of sabrina (melissa joan hart, not the netflix one) and MAN is it aggressively early aughts.

@evistre Wow, that's a blast from the past for sure.

@evistre I can scarcely remember it, or.. most of that time period for that matter.

May as well take a trip back there to freshen up.

@evistre Were those really close to '00? I remember them being in the 90s'ish, almost surely before '99.. But I was born in mid 80's so idk.

@Tail i don't miss being a kid, but here, a bop for you. charli was a kid in the 90s too. she was born in 92. i wonder how much she remembers?

@Tail as much as i've been chronically online for a good chunk of my life... i do miss the internet not being absolutely up society's collective ass 24/7.

there's a reason i'm into tapes. lol

@evistre I'm diggin' that bop!

I miss going to peoples' houses just to see if they're home and that was normal. I miss being perfectly content without a phone. You would switch from being online to offline at will and it was easy to keep the two separated. That's impossible today.

It was around '96 or '97 when I really just embraced the internet full on. It's been my life ever since, but I'd be so much happier if it weren't such an important tool.

@Tail yep similar. i just want to turn it off sometimes. all the way off.

@evistre I've got the luxury of being able to do just that and it always feels really good. But it never lasts long.

@Tail but can you imagine it going totally down?

like when facebook oopsed. except all of it. for a day or two maybe.

...although maybe not. i bet qanon would go nuts.

@evistre If the entire net went down, civilization as we know it would erupt with violence. I feel pretty confident about that.
