They're gonna think you're just always jacking your dick off to porn instead of posting with your buds.

Well, just what precisely did you imagine the term "goon" was going to evolve into? Savvy investor? Upstanding, civically-engaged activist on behalf of the needy? Reference implementation of the Kyoto Protocol?

And I'm p sure I saw that term as far back is 2015 maybe, definitely pre pandemic, in that exact meaning.

Anyways I don't talk about something awful, there's no need to in my day to day work life; we are a diverse group of individuals with different life experiences and are all capable of existing outside of the internet, despite the younger ones definitely subsisting on the net more than me. But I doubt the hours are different, while I don't doom scroll IG or TikTok, I do doomscroll the forums. Or spend hours on various from soft wikis because it's one of the few things I can actually focus on. I can't focus on news or world events because ANYWAYS....yeah...gooning. I was upset when I first saw that term on the internet to start taking on a different meaning, but I accepted it as a part of life.

Ive shown some funny threads to a friend or two occasionally (i lurked here and read the front page for years before creating an account during the anniversary) but most of my social circle will probably think this is some kind of incel minority hating online community because their conception of an internet forum is limited to poo poo like 4chan or local imageboards that have appeared on news due to IRL crimes planned there

imagine if they find out 4chan was born here lmao

the COBGOBLIN got me! I bear the curse of bad sandwiches
I just tell people I'm part of an ancient secret society that used to control the internet, puppeting it to our whims, but the over the years it's time passed by, and now it aged and dying members just impotently stare out at the internet at large as it carries on with out them, as they sit reminisces upon happy bygone ages, now gone forever.

They always know the site I'm talking about.

I habitually refer to this place as "my old guy forum" if I'm gonna talk to someone irl about it. When I'm alone, that's when I'm gooning.
