http://www.somethingawful.com/news/internet-small-pleasures/ I was so moved by this article that I sent a link to a bunch of people, then sadly sank into realization at the hideous irony of having done so. A really tight infinite shame loop, Corin Tucker's Stalker. You deserve an attaboy for that. Honestly though, I've been thinking along the same lines all year- it's 2015, that poorly thought out fantasy social utopia internet that I believed so loving hard in back in the 2000's still isn't here, and I'm really starting to hate my naive child self for ever believing in it. I even remember double-dipping my stupidity when I thought (somehow) that the internet as accessed by a smartphone would somehow be better than the one I'd already been loving around on for years. Yeah, the internet is in our pants now and I can access it from the bus, that means the quality of the material will go UP! SURE! But it didn't go up in quality, obviously, it was the same network it's always been, made up of idiots endlessly gobbling turds embedded with flecks of undigested entertainment. Just like how Web 2.0 did not break open the floodgates on some imaginary reserve of brilliance and human dignity that was being held back by the difficulty of coding, if anything it lowered standards for what qualifies as content. Today, thanks to decades of technological expansion, you can pile the "content' turds in your mouth while sitting at a fancy restaurant instead of talking to your date, and she can Tinder for a better boyfriend at the same time. Progress!? And now I will obsessively watch this thread out of an idiotic ape-man need for validation from others agreeing with me that yes, still, The Internet Makes You Stupid. Good poo poo, CTS. Good poo poo.
