I was 12 and already lurking 4chan, watching anime and playing CSS. My life is really fucked up.

4chan was pretty cringy back then

Very nerdy, people liked nerdy things unironically when "nerd" was still an insult.

Smartphones and mobile surfing "ruined" the internet.

I can't wait for FIFA 07, hope it's better than 06

>inb4 normalfag, I just liked soccer back then, was the fat keeper

>>35502655
While I didn't get the girl I can certainly attest that high school was MUCH better than middle school for me

despite all of the emos and other similar kinds of faggots, 2006 was pretty nice. It's the last time I remember being somewhat happy.

>You will never live back in 2006 when men didn't have to spend $500 on clothes every week

I was 21 in '06. I was a senior in college and had an internship and a GF at the time. Time seemed so optimistic a decade ago

>>35506548

it was trendy to be beta back then as well.

Turned 20 in late 2006. All I remember about 2006 is going for bike rides in the dead of night which usually ended up at a park where I went on the swings for a couple hours, listening to music and daydreaming about stuff before riding back home and getting some sleep.

I was a loner then with my best friend telling me to get fucked the previous year, and today the only thing different is I live in my own place.

>>35506548

>actually believing this

It's like people like you just go about life completely oblivious to what's actually happening and then suddenly someone rips off the blinkers and you all freak out at things the rest of us accepted and got over years ago.

Tranny here. Last year of my life that I thought life was better than death. Started puberty the following year in 7th grade. Now I'm slowly trying to undo the damage, each day barely managing to not kill myself.

>>35502655
OH BOY I SURE LOVE VIDEO GAMES

>>35503308
It's far cringier now.

>2006
>Depression and anxiety is so bad I've stopped going to school
>Parents scream at me and mentally torture me everyday, don't understand that I'm mentally ill
>My only social contact is online and my only escape is playing Counter-Strike Source
>They decide that I'm not going to school because I'm addicted to video games, so they take the mouse for my computer away when they go to work
>I have a complete mental breakdown because my one escape has been taken away and I have nothing to numb my depression/anxiety
>Take an axe and destroy the entire house, literally chopping through the walls
>They never take my things away again, work with my school so that I can do my assignments from home, take me to a psychologist, and stop screaming at me all the time

Fear and violence solves everything

2006:
>22 years old
>Watching animu like Rozen Maiden and Haruhi
>Taking random pointless classes at the community college
>Bumped into a girl from my HS who gave me her number but I was too chickenshit to call her
>Still going to a couple conventions a year but they're getting worse. Too many people are showing up, lots of fake geeks, drunken mayhem, media attention, corporate meddling

Sometimes still wonder what my life would be like today if I'd called that girl and done something productive with my time like getting IT certs

>>35503308
I can't wait to see all the "man I can't believe I used to post frogs and say shit like top kek unironically" posts in a decade. I hate this place so much.

Pepe has been around since BEFORE 2006, pleb.

I remember some cool stuff going down around that time. Nyoro~n. Desu. Second Life and Habbo raids. Mitchell killing himself over his iPod. Trolling the nubs with perfect girl.

And catching the media's attention for the first time:

>>35508127
Modern Pepe is a completely different beast and don't even try to pretend otherwise.

>>35508164
Yes he is, just like
>greentexting
didn't exist in the forms it does now. It's still greentext and still Pepe though. Pepe will be around in 2027.

You are like little babies.

Some things should die and stay dead, but instead they evolve in the worst way possible. I hope Hiro fucks something up sooner or later and the place isn't around anymore by then.

An axe.
Fuuck.

I love the internet as it lets me interact with people I would rarely have opportunity to meet, and compare similarities.

But fuck, the difference in the worlds we come from is amazing to think about in Its own way

haha! I am 20 years young and I have all the hope and optimism and potential in the world! I'm going to be a pro UFC fighter! Maybe I'll also be a rockstar! I certainly won't get fat and go bald!


Now what's this about this "4channel" thing I heard about?

This has been quite a year for me. I finally got high speed internet, I found out about 4chan through a YTMND, and got into anime and music. I went vegan during the summer which helped me trim down a little. Youtube is the shit, I just sit around on my bed and marathon dr.who most days. I went to someone's house for the first time after school. Things seem like they're going to be better...

It was honest, authentic, and fun. Back when everyone was memeing around and laughing before the neo-nazi astroturfers targeted this place.

>10 year high school reunion this year

Going to high school! This is going to be the year I finally drop the weight and break out of my shell and socialize and make tons of new friends, and... maybe even a girlfriend! Oh, I already can't wait for prom!

>>35502655
This was the year my dad's health began deteriorating to the point that, as of today, walking from the door of our apartment to the car makes him so winded he can't speak or breathe.
It's also the year I went from being a cute little elementary school normie with lots of friends to an autist who was constantly bullied. I managed to pull out of that hole in the last couple years, and am basically a degenerate normie once more.

>>35502655
gonna come home from school to play runescape like i do most days and go hang out with my only friend on sundays who lived next to my grandma. friend also played runescape. only real friend i've ever had to be honest

>>35502655
I'm 16 and really should have fucked that girl at prom.

>FUCK!

Well high school was shit but they say everybody makes friends in college, maybe I might even get a gf
