A second American civil war would be pretty interesting but I doubt it'll happen given how little of the population is suitable to be drafted or too pacifist, spineless or otherwise incapable. I don't know what's going to happen. These are the interesting times they speak of.

I'm just waiting for the reset to come. I feel like everything has been building up tension, and some big event is going to occur which will cause all that tension to be released, and fundamentally reset society. Maybe war, or a depression.

Is it not possible to just... flood those sorts of posts out by making your own? The only reason there's a wall of them is because he's one of the few who actually post things here.

What if I want to press both pedals at the same time, do I need to reach my hand down there and press the other one?

Just mix bleach and ammonia and you're basically there, nobody will be able to tell the difference!

1. What exactly do you mean by "posting for yourself"?

Well, there's plainly a difference between what someone like Mr.Beast uploads and any run of the mill youtube video someone recorded on their blackberry in the late 2000s. I suppose it's sort of an attitude like "i'm uploading to engage with the internet" rather than "i'm uploading so the internet engages with me", like always being pursuant of likes, shares, fame, etc. I noticed this with myself a while ago after having had some success with virality. Now I feel myself writing like i'm some sort of salesman. It might be a bit narcissistic of me but I'd imagine that a lot of us do this subconsciously nowadays with how gamified the internet is.

2. What makes you think that people used to do that before but not now?

They still do that now, but I'd reckon not as much in the grand scheme. There was a 2023 survey on Parents.com which stated that 57% of Gen Z were interested in becoming influencers - given that 'influencers' barely existed in a sense compared to what they are now 15 years ago, I'd say that things have changed. Granted, there will always be people genuinely posting themselves. But it shouldn't be too far-fetched to say that we tend to ham things up for the camera to a ridiculous extent now.

But, I never got to experience the early years of the social media scene, so I might be talking out my ass here. I just really don't like what the internet has done to us.

Probably somewhat like that. We don't realize it but our brains have been rewired and it's for the most part impossible to regain that genuine early internet feel. Who really posts for themselves anymore? I feel this way at least. I subconsciously try to be as appealing as possible to everyone, is it too late for us?

Drat. Should've discovered this site sooner. I like De Niro. Maybe next week I'll be there.
