Social media, algorithms, AI, slop whatever you want to call it I’ve been so disgusted at how modern society has progressed in recent years, particularly the 2020s.
I get so sad how everyone my age is synced to the internet (18). It really messed up my mental health due to graduating high school and being fearful of the future. Particularly being stuck to politics, Venezuela and Iran. I still read about them but I’ve grown apathetic now at how schizo the world is, instead of panicking.
Anyways I’ve been daydreaming now once I get a career started I want to delete every single form of social media and revert to a 2000s lifestyle. Yeah I’m on reddit posting guilty as charged.
But yeah I’ve deleted Instagram on my phone for a week and I feel my attention span’s slightly better and my anxiety is also better.
I wanna just pirate media and connect a laptop to a home cinema projector when I have my own home, especially when I have kids. I want to get a dumb phone I take whenever I leave the home, I wanna use my a Polaroid camera for photos. I want dvds for TV and movies and cds for music.
Even with the streaming services my parents have apart from The Boys and Invincible most stuff I watch is from 2015 and before. Most games I play are from the 360 era, I feel like they put more effort into those things back then.
Diary posting yeah I’m just really jealous of people older than me I wish I was born 10 years earlier at the least.

Why are modern phones so terrible at group texts? I think some users being on RCS instead of SMS is part of it.
GCs across discord, signal, and WhatsApp being group texts would be the only difference. Before internet forums there were BBSs. I want to set up one of those over packet radio, actually.
