I miss geocities and flash games internet. This current age of icanhascheezburger internet can suck it.
Half of the people I know were all worried about how they were all going to pass the time if reddit disappeared. I've been on reddit maybe twice in my life. I am seriously constantly acting like some sort of online geezer because I hate memes and that's the only thing everyone's interested in these days.

Same here, braw. It's pretty bad when I can't go on Facebook without being assaulted by memes from people who are just now discovering them. The "awkward moment when..." shit is reeeally getting annoying.

It can be pretty fun, at times. I enjoy making fun of people that I'm "friends" with, but not really friends with. Even that can get depressing after a while, though, when more than half of your friends are clearly deeply stupid and can't even make a status update without several glaring errors.

While most people I know are incredibly boring or nauseatingly upbeat, a very surprising few of them are actually infuriatingly stupid. That helps. And the stupid ones I either block or fuck with.
Whenever something huge happens like SOPA or Steve Jobs dying my first instinct is to make fun of it or make fun of everyone's response about it. The problem now is that everyone's so used to it that NOBODY gives me shit anymore when I do it

Yeah, I frequently get the "OH, ANOTHER SMARTASS COMMENT FROM LUC BIG SURPRISE!" I've deleted several people recently just because I can't help making fun of them and I don't even remember when or why we last spoke in person.

Social media simultaneously helps and hurts web sites. It's great for getting word out about new material 'n all, but most people LIVE on those social media sites. Before those sites existed, people would hang out on all kinds of random web sites to explore them more. Now, sites like mine are dinosaurs on the Internet, and more and more of them are dying off all the time. New people pop in to read an article or whatever they saw linked to on Facebook or something, but then they immediately return to Facebook rather exploring those sites any further.
More and more classic sites are shutting down and people are just making posts on social media sites rather than having something of their own, and I don't get it. But I realize I'm also just getting older, cuz I also hate that video rental stores are shutting down everywhere. I hate seeing book stores shutting down. I hate seeing music stores shutting down. I hate that there aren't enough arcades.
It's like the Internet is determined to keep people indoors 24/7 to ensure that they have no real world social experiences.
No thank you.
Get off my lawn.

I can see that happening. If I really think about it, I spend most of my time online at one of these places:
- The AV Club
- Here
- Facebook
- Checking email
- Netflix
- Youtube (if nothing else, I use it just to listen to music at work)
- web comics (well, two of 'em)
And then there's a little bit of time spent reading actual articles on sites like I-Mock and XE, but even then, I only seem to really do that around special times like Halloween and Christmas.

Im usually on here or Facebook being a troll, but mostly if I'm on the internet I like to eBay old rare retro stuff (games/vinyls) that I wish I could own.
