Yeah but I want to return to the days when normal people used the internet for fun, not just the freaks.

Normal people never used the internet for fun until Facebook lol. It was all freaks during the alleged golden age, that’s what made it great.

Heeey! We’re nice freaks! Besides, you’d be surprised to find how many of us are decently normal.

Like, not me, but there are at least a dozen.
