I have been reading internet pages since about 2006 when Wikipedia was the big novelty and most chans were in their developmental stage
There was some seriously funny and seriously screwed up stuff altogether
Those strange memes, Advice Animals, Tubgirl, 2 girls 1 cup, Mr. Hands, all that sexually offensive stuff, creepy stuff, copypastas
A serious case of a stalker in California who was causing pretty serious trouble to various women and who got arrested various times
Another guy in California who got arrested after making threats to an online dictionary website
Underage stuff appreciators who had their own wiki and chat rooms
The whole 5 guys burger and fries thing with the Gamergate
The Nungesser-Sulkowicz story
Strange times
You could argue about the enshittification of the internet but overall I think things have improved, even if they're more boring now

Social media used to be just who you followed and that's it. Maybe you'd be suggested friends of friends but generally you only saw what you subscribed to. Uploading photos was already slow, not to mention videos, so people expressed themselves differently and having a lot of photos of yourself on your profile was weird. Nowadays seeing people upload videos about random topics and inserting their faces at any cost is so strange to me. Even on youtube you couldn't upload videos longer than a few minutes. So the content was overall more light-hearted and random.
Prior to social media, people just had their own websites and you had to manually visit them one by one and leave comments in a guest book. So basically the concept of virality was not really there. If you had a few thousand followers that was already a LOT.

The internet was a specific place you went to and left. A lot of people just had 1 family computer they shared and took turns using and in my early days you even had to pay per minute of internet access. Without smartphone internet, it was much easier to leave the internet behind and do other stuff and it was harder to get addicted. People couldn't take photos of you at school or in the street because rarely did anyone bring a digital camera with them. Editing photos was hard and required special software and skills so the photos you saw were either way more authentic or they were shooped to such hilarious degrees you could tell from a mile away. Automatic filters or even video filters did simply not exist. Privacy was a much bigger concern, I already mentioned that people had much fewer photos of themselves online, but before Facebook it was unimaginable to put your full government name on the internet. So you'd have your nickname and an avatar and the large-scale exposure and harassment that's normal now was basically impossible.

i find myself questioning what it's like for other people to inhabit their own heads, sometimes. not even the brain, not primarily, but the head. the feeling of focusing attention inside of it. because i don't really feel "in" my brain, but it's the only spot i can approximate myself being. i feel this somethingness, but this nothingness
how does life happen and come into other people? as in how it's processed. i'm nosey to know how far people go with integrating information into themselves, too, because nothing seems to permeate throughout me as it comes in. i rarely feel "one with" my crying, for example. i assume i'm indifferent overall
do people sense their head area as fuzzy? vague, foggy, rounded? or sharp, driven by clarity, jumpy, loud, listening? my head seems casual, low
i'm spitting nonsense atp but, i want to keep going. how many people have their attention, themselves, mostly in their hands? i think i'm somewhere at the crown of my skull, then i sense just above my glabella and onto my forehead. around that area
is existing inside ones own body vastly different for everyone, or generally similar? you'd imagine most people are in the top of their body, but what if someone's in their chest

Being good does not mean you lose more often. If anything it's the opposite because being evil breeds resentment and contempt in those that surround you and maybe they decide to kill you for your actions

Atheism and being "good" are incompatible

>>322065
elaborate

in what ways does being good bring more suffering on good people? if they lose because they donate too much money, for example, then the issue isn't having been good, it's with having no limit

Being good doesn't mean you have to be a 100 percent selfless, you can be good and still put yourself first before others. You can't help others if you can't help yourself.

I've been here for 5 years, after coming across the LC thread this site was born from. I'd say that's neither newfag or oldfag and I definitely wouldn't call that not knowing the "lore".
But enlighten me, what site lore did my two sentence post betray a deep ignorance of?

I'm also an NSFW artist who's bad at drawing.
I wish I knew how to post and sell my art without losing my anonymity. I don't mind commissions irl, but what lands on the internet often stays on the internet.
How are you not paranoid about posting your NSFW drawings?

how do you find people who are interested and commission you, even if it was for free despite being "bad"?

>but what lands on the internet often stays on the internet.

Because the Internet is for everyone and for the NSFW drawings, I'm not ashamed of drawing shit I wanted
