The joy of having a landline without caller ID and running like crazy to be the first to grab that brick just to find out that maybe the next phone call might actually be for me, good times

Nobody needed a pseudonym back then.

You could just speak your mind openly and always write your real name to it, and it was THE NORMAL thing to do.

And yes of course we all had some f*ing "controversial" opinions back then. It was our youth after all :-) No holding back with what you would probably call unbearable extremes nowadays. And then nobody needed to do any canceling or banning or crushing our skulls....
