Just going to say it: 2013 was the last good Internet. Full of arrow to the knee, chonky boi, overly attached girlfriend, do it for the vine, electro house, rage comics, bad luck brian, one does not simply walk into Mordor, taylor swift goat, etc. There has been no Culture since.
@SwiftOnSecurity No kidding, I feel like the summer of 2016 was the last overly "positive" span of time we've had, collectively--the summer of Pokemon Go.
Everyone was out and about (with occasional mischief), talking to each other and collaborating to catch'em. It was omipotent and weirdly lovely.
Streets and parks were alive, social trust was a bit higher because who's going to lie to you about a freaking electabuzz over there? Some mischief as a result but way, way more net good than bad.
Please clap for 2016.
