I don't know how to deal with these things either. It makes me sad, feeling old.

 

 

When we were kids, we used to have opinions. And we had conversations. With words, either spoken or written.

 

IMHO

:cerious:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I often daydream about experiences pre-internet or pre-smart phone, including mundane things like watching tv or a film with friends, driving around at night for fun, playing games and puzzles without outside help, lazily reading books and listening to music. Pondering answers to questions without quick answers. Conversations and musings confined with friends, family or chance strangers at an event. Memories of personal thoughts and imagined things out of nothing but boredom induced creativity.

 

It's a strange feeling to re-visit. It's nostalgic but more in the sense of returning to a past state of mind versus the environment of a past place and time. The nice thing is one can return to it if they want. I've been personally avoiding social media feeds (twitter, facebook, even instagram which i kind of like) and it's made me feel less antsy. Hell I like WATMM partially because it feels like a old school messageboard of similar minded folks.

Meeting that peng French girl in a shitty convenience store gave the whole thing a real Brazzers feel.

 

they should make that stuff with a retro vintage VHS vibe, that seems like a promising idea

that vid kinda reminds me of the vibe in shops around music festivals and the like, everyone is buzzed and sharing banter, it's really great

 

I think that vid in particular it would be much less romantic without the cameraman being charismatic enough to chat to everyone there tbh

you guys have to admit that talking like this and posting a million emojis all reiterating the same tired "irony" is pretty weak though right? dilutes anything resembling a coherent thought or opinion into a soup of repetitive unfunny memes.

 

most linguists will disagree with you on this

I'm sure she meant the OP kokoon-boss =)

 

Good to see you back btw, I feel like I've not seen your posts in a while. 

I'm actually lurking all the time, just don't have much to say lately. But I've always been on here daily, maybe sometimes weekly - I'm pretty sure since before 2005. It's the only insane place I like, even with all the "2010s happening" drama I generally struggle with. I hope to see some vaguely relevant memes in response to this post.

why is he not correcting all of these sites that listing as a linguists, are you insinuating that he has this weird "i want to be known as a linguists even tho I'm not" fetish 

 

im stil waiting for a public video apology, this degree of arrogance can't go on

 

you were wrong i was 100 percent right, lets get it over with, get in front of your camera and apology to me for humiliating me in front of my peers and dragging my familys name tru the mud

 

if you don't do this you will be responsible for a harakiri, blood in your hands bro!
