I was there. I was in the trenches. On 4chan. On digg, back when it was good. On reddit when it was for obscure weird coders. On utoob, pre-goog. We forged culture. Everything from rickrolls to habbo hotel, man. I was there. We were just kids, man. Just fuckin' kids.

As an Xer who's observed the galling arrogance and post-'70s calcification of Boomers lifelong, I'm hardly surprised to observe that many never once considered that people want to spend time with their families and reduce overhead by working from home, and resist change to accomodate them. This is a generation who nearly created an entire subgenre of comedy dedicated to their inability and refusal to program VCRs.

That disaster likely isn't the worst eventuating from Big Pharma's collaborations with governments worldwide, but it's certainly the most overt. I've never observed propagandistic conspicuity comparable to that of pro-vax shills. A few of them were even active here!

Most of those vaccines represent pass/fail survival and fitness tests administered for the purpose of generating profit and curbing populations. Suspect and question everything.

Funny timing, considering I'm writing about my experiences during the mass hysteria myself. I don't think you'll like reading them.

from talking to my friends with kids, since you're doing a chore no one bothers you and you can take as long as you like.
