You should've hijacked a plane 1998 and crashed it into wtc so that everyone would've been on alert the next year.

But of course you would've done it with a rubber jet. Because rubber can't melt steel beams.

well I mean, if he can affect the 90s, he might be able to make sure the future is changed. like he could go beat up the hijackers when they're like young or whatever. then be like, 'if you ever even think about 9/11'ing, i'm coming for you again kid!!'

or maybe just minimize death, work for an organization that trains every single person in the WTC how to base jump and get like daily practice in so the day it happens everybody can just 'chute to safety... the terrorist would be all 'ha ha we got you' but we'd be laughing. We'd be laughing from our fancy parachutes in our new, Extreme america.

you could quietly add reinforced concrete and steel to the crash site too to try to help save those near the impact zone? idk... time travel is tricky business

joke_explainer


then again a culture of constant base jumping might lead to more overall deaths over a long enough timespan than 9/11 :confused:

i mean if they saved tons of lives people might start doing it everywhere...

OP needs to find another way.

ok byob, I'm back at work and have internet, at least for the next few hours.

trip report from last night:

when i just got home i got a lot of poo poo done: washed about half the dishes i own (which for some inexplicable reason were already dirty even tho i just moved in the day before), replaced my new kettle so I could have some :coffeepal: next morning and was productive in general.

i wrote down some important phone numbers on paper before handing in my phone, and so I called up a friend (using my landlord's phone) and visited him later on. we mostly just hung out, smoked a bit and talked, so i can chalk it up to still being a 90s experience (minus the part of me driving to him in my company car).

regarding books: before going to him i had some free time, so i decided to read a novel i began a few weeks earlier but couldn't really get into. turns out its really a great read, and maybe i would have found out much later if i wouldn't have had this opportunity.

oh, and WetNigtmare: that hit a little too close to home.

glad to see you are doing well

smoked weed?

i am he

yes, I am he.

weed isn't TOO hard to get for those who know where to look, but its hella expensive. like $25 a gram.
and dealers get constantly harassed, so you need to look for new sources once in a while.

we actually calculated it one time, apparently weed is literally worth more than its weight in gold.

Having no internet is pretty crappy really.

The thing is when you don't have it, it is crap, but then afterwards you remember how long those days seemed and the unusual things you got up to like checking out some shop or yeah reading that book.

I've gotten closer to mastering stuff like reading and doing non-internet things for a whole day at a time while having full internet access. Forums and stuff are a good comfort thing, make you feel like you are a part of society without actually
having to go through the terrible process of taking a chance on real people who will make you feel kinda weird and bad for some reason, but you can spend 3 or 4 hours and realise you've done nothing but that all day, feel like your brain is
completely pickled and you are wasting your life like this, and that's bad too. So it's just about getting a balance.

I bet after about 2 weeks few people would miss the internet beyond a 'hm email was more convenient' kind of way. Even having all this access to music and film and stuff - who cares. It's probably bad for really enjoying stuff like
that since it's so disposable because it is unlimited.

Hard to describe...just that feeling of actually being in your own life rather than grabbing for this spectral social zeitgeist and connection thing.

Just relax. Try and learn to be okay with this and then don't just binge when you get the net back.

It’s not that I’m not social. I’m social enough. But the tools you guys create actually manufacture unnaturally extreme social needs. No one needs the level of contact you’re purveying. It improves nothing. It’s not nourishing. It’s like snack food. You know how they engineer this food? They scientifically determine precisely how much salt and fat they need to include to keep you eating. You’re not hungry, you don’t need the food, it does nothing for you, but you keep eating these empty calories. This is what you’re pushing. Same thing. Endless empty calories, but the digital-social equivalent. And you calibrate it so it’s equally addictive.

You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.
