  @AdamThePooi Part of it is I remember some of the old AOL chatrooms that I used to hang out in and those were, shall we say, not healthy places for a middle schooler to be in. If I can spare the next generation from learning some of that stuff until they're adults, then good.

  @d4doome Usenet was good until infiltrated & destroyed by spam. Unfiltered Usenet groups have no modern equivalent. X shadow bans & stifles, even under Elon. Facebook is horrid. But before I used Usenet I was banned from AOL forums. The original evil, from which sh*t sites like Facebook & Reddit are censorious de facto children. Also I caused these three groups to be created, in the day, when most anyone could create a group…

  @Based_SpaceGoji Fun fact from the prehistory of the web: In the summer of 1993, when this movie came out, there were no web browsers. (Using AOL was nothing like surfing the web a few years later.) So there was no easy way to go online and look something up, and resolve a disagreement. For example... I knew at least two kids at my high school who were SURE those were pterodactyls flying away at the end. I was like, "Dude, they were pelicans. Why would the heroes be calmly watching and smiling at dinosaurs escaping the f---ing island?" But there was no way to convince them. No way to just go on a website and look it up, and show them. The fact is, before everyone had easy access to the web, life was full of really stupid little disagreements like that, especially when you were a kid. Did the kid from the Life Cereal commercials die from eating pop-rocks with Coke? Did Alfonso Ribeiro break his neck doing a headspin? For me, at least, those pelicans at the end of Jurassic Park were the last example of that particular kind of stupid argument. A year later, Netscape launched. One more thing... I always wondered if Spielberg heard stories of people mistaking those pelicans for pterodactyls, and was annoyed by it. Especially when I saw the sequel, and it ends with what is very, very clearly a pterodactyl spreading its wings in the sunlight. As if Spielberg was saying, "Here, dumbasses, THAT's a pterodactyl."

  The military, being the largest, corporation to exist, so to speak, runs closely with nexr to no errors. Trucking, the largest logistical corpopation, more errors than old aol dial-up. This Can Be Fix by the right people.

  @BrianRoemmele It was quite the revelation I could finally take those free AOL floppies from deep storage and use them for Linux boot disks instead. From a time when I would literally have a disk get bad sectors going from drive to drive while never leaving my hand, they were really well made.

  Earlier, AOL tried to give me a fake message, i.e., "this email has been deactivated due to inactivity." It wasn't deactivated after multiple attempts. AOL, every email service, & every business humans use to communicate with one another, has a responsibility not to participate.

  @vileTexan **** not only the long distance bill. I always dreaded the AOL bill. That internet by the minute for a killer.

  Trust me when I say I’ve been into conspiracies since YouTube first came out. I’ve had a computer since I was six years old, back in the AOL dial-up days. Looking back, it all feels like it was by design. It explains why I was such a little ****. It explains the betrayals. It explains everything I went through. I was early to all of it. Like, really ******* early. Everything you’re seeing now is nothing new to me. It might be new to you after 2020, but I was already deep in this **** years before that. That’s how it has always been for me. And the dumb ***** who knew me in real life and still follow me would vouch for that. They know I’m not gassing this **** up. I’d actually love for them to speak on it because they saw how early I was to all of this. They won’t admit it, but I know they stalk my profile. And when I drop the numbers, this is not me being vain or thinking I’m better than anyone. I’m explaining why I’ve always felt like such an old ******* soul. I was raised around people who never understood me, and I only fully realised that around 2020. It sounds harsh, but it’s the truth Born on the 22nd 11 Life Path Dog year, the 11th sign Aquarius, the 11th sign All by design No accidents

  @LGarretson66717 Ohh I never heard of that unfortunately. Once aol started going down and FB started to rise ask Insta it just scattered but Twitter or x. Then you got into it a bit but had to file around
