Guys i have a question for you. How has the internet affectd

>>59264511
It taught me good grammar and how to spell correctly... I suggest you use it some more.

I'm 28, so I've been affected pretty fucking drastically.

I first got online regularly when I was 12, and the rest I'll bullet point in greentext
>started talking to my first gf in AIM when I was 14
>lost my virginity to her
>met lots of people through AOL chatrooms, the teen ones, some I still talk to
>stayed away from Myspace, just spectated and jacked off to friends pictures
>was one of the first ones on Facebook back in 2006, shit was tits
>party invites (legit college ragers, not bullshit ones), girls would actually approach someone, no mom/dad/aunt/grandma overlooking everything, lots of bikini pictures
>finally in like 2010 all my family got on there, it's sucked fucking dick ever since.
>2007 I found 4chan
>oh the fucking lulz
>/r9k/ was the intellectual hub, /o/ talked about cars, no /shittygeneral/ threads, /b/ was still about stuff other than 'hey guys lets post pictures to jerk off to'
for what it's worth, this was maybe a couple months after the stormfront bullshit
>found out about reddit
>despite the obvious 'safe haven' feel, reddit is definitely the current intellectual hub and free-ish speech icon of the internet
>still keep reddit's front page as my home page
>after moot left 4chan, I stopped browsing so much
>so many kids under 18 who should be watching quality movies or reading good books instead of people get their heads cut off in .gifs
>no more moderation for quality's sake
>the overall intelligence level has gone down by a noticeable amount
>but here I am browsing /g/ at 3:30am

If anyone has any questions or whatever, I'll be keeping track of this thread.

sorry i just realized i got off track

the internet both took away my social life because i stay inside and browse 4chan and reddit and gave me a social life because i wasn't confident enough to approach girls without talking to them online first. but i can feel that i'm still online way too much, whether it's my phone or computer, so i can't help but be grateful but i do need to get off of it as a social mechanism at some point. internet socializing is very lacking to me. face-to-face is so much better for my soul.

if i didn't have it though, i'd probably still be at home jerking off to shonen jump or some shit instead of listening to my girlfriend sleep in the other room.

Anon do you not understand greentext story telling? Are you new to this entire site or something
Pic related is one.

English is not my mother tongue, faggot.

it made me see what humans are

technology turns you gay
face to face interaction is overrated
the more accessible something is, the less interesting it becomes

>Who are you quoting?
Stop. Just stop. It only works when someone is legitimately quoting someone that doesn't exist. When someone is greentexting or
>implying
It's just plain abuse at that point.

>>59265819
Yeah i feel terrible about my english

>>59265884
it's better than my whatever language you speak

>>59264511

Probably I would have a wife now.

>>59265777

kids are just as stupid, but at least we were stupid in our own rooms/yards instead of being able to tell anyone in the world to kill themself

I'll be honest. I would probably be much happier without the internet's existence.
