It was a perfect time and the last time to live in a less connected world. Most kids didn't have cell phones. THere was no such thing as social media. It was special. Life was more simple and exciting. Now everything's just noise.
And lgbt rights were non existent. Good times

A lot of the time, whenever someone adopts a new persona for the internet, it ends up being an extremely shitty version of their real one. It's best if you just behave the same way on the internet and irl.

agreed.

but I think it's unintetional. like subconsciously we are always editing ourselves online to be more articulate, more attractive etc

I think the human tendency is to want to have our ego boosted by whatever means necessary and in the age of "likes" and retweets people can't help themselves.

That's not the part that I'm worried about. I don't really care about how awesome you make your life look. Outside of a dating profile, that has no consequences to anyone besides them.

It's when you realize that you can have an alter ego on the internet and you end up becoming a dick because of it that bothers me.

Haha I don't edit myself at all online. Offline sure though. Anxiety gets the better of me a lot more offline
From my limited purview it was a perfect time. I imagine it wasn't perfect if you were LGBT.
I didn't think I was back then so it seemed pretty nice for me too


Could have been better though

The issue comes when you want both things, though...being an anonymous dick on the internet while at the same time making it look like your life is more interesting. The more you do of the latter, the more attention you'll attract, and the more you have to watch what you say. If you keep being a dick on the internet while all eyes are on you, it's gonna blow up in your face pretty quickly.

I don't edit myself at all. It's why I have so many fucking typos and so much fucked up syntax in mybposts.

It's actually really refreshing to just be an uncensored version of myself where I just let it fly

I was a very oblivious little kid. Like for everything. Couldn't notice negativity in anyone. Nice in a way

My nieces are like that! I hope they don't change but I'm sure they will

Here Jobbs.

Another detractor, 90s fashion and hair were fucking trash all around.

This isn't true. I didn't dress like that, my friends didn't either. Just depends where you look. A bunch of old people wandering the street don't exactly encapsulate a whole era of fashion.

Well I'm still overall optimistic about people but just notice the bad things that happen. So it's not all bad :p

Trab, you would have had to endure inline skaters everywhere here in the 90's.

Thanks for your post in the dating thread granadier. Just be careful you don't get in trouble though.

That was something that probably should have been filtered because it didn't contribute to the thread and was just anger, but his comments really ticked me off.

edit: dp ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I remember skateboarding way more than blading. Blading was always like the bootleg skating
 

Lucian Cat

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
as someone who has been through divorce I am fucking livid over that dating thread

really sorry about that whole thing Lucian. both your divorce and that guy in the thread being an idiot about it.
Oh I missed this. Thanks floaty. Just ignore him, he's an ass and we don't need to lose anyone over him.

I understand. It took all my strength to not say more than I did.

On this lovely note I'm going to bed coz I have to be up for work in less than 6 hours. Night peeps <3

I think there were different cultures around them. Blading was more like going on a bike ride whereas skateboarding was more of a hangout thing

At least that's my perception

Yep. Skateboarding was an entire subculture, and so it required more devotion to the sport in order to be "cool". Bladin was more like something you'd do on the weekends for exercise, but you had to bust out that killer neon windbreaker too.

better but just super tired now for some reason. wanted to work out today :S
still planning to but I'd rather roll up in bed like a cat tbh

I know this feel.

In fact it is a feel I am experiencing right now

Sometimes when I go to work out I'm so tired I think "I'd rather die"

Why does everyone else have such a different experience of exercising than me?
Maybe I should see a doctor about that tbh

What sort of exercise do you do?

My experience is from weight lifting and bicycling.
