  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I do too. I know it's a very elitist thing to say, but the internet, while not as vast as it is now, was way better when it took some effort to browse the web. Like a pc, a modem, some knowledge, troubleshooting etc. It was like a bouncer, keeping some people out. I haven't had home tv for like 15 years now, and the only time i see live tv is when i'm at someone's home and the tv is running. No joke, i would rather not watch tv at all. Same with the internet. I've never been a social media guy, but someone tried to show me something on facebook the other day, the last time i saw facebook was when someone showed me their farm on farmville. It was pure nightmare fuel. I can not imagine apending my time like that. I know different people enjoy different things, but that seems really dumb, and these people are the reason you even beed adblockers, vpn, a piehole, cookie deniers and whatnot.

What people put up with on Facebook, especially after things like Cambridge Analytica, is utterly astounding to me. I burned my facebook account in something like 2007 after I heard about Zuckerberg's "dumb fucks" statement.

And then they post pics of the grandchildren along with every piece of trivia to be used against them in years to come. Weirdos.
