We used to have that adage about how anonymity made people worse on the internet. It always made me feel uneasy. We hit 2025, and I was dismayed to find it was wrong - the internet was a warning bell for how evil the average person is.

Many of us have been saying that's untrue ever since people started claiming it was real.
All you need to do is go to Facebook to see people being horrible under their own names.
unpopular opinion, but i don't like these kinds of memes. reality sucked then and drove all the outcasts to the internet, and it sucks worse now. but now, on the internet you have this corporate dystopia to deal with on top of it.
escapes come at a premium these days, but the internet is still your best bet, you just need to work overtime to actually find the right places to go.
I'm sober now, I don't smoke, I avoid sugar and only drink two coffees a day. Now I can't even enjoy the internet. Just a whole lotta nothing to take the edge off
🤷
I mean, seems like you haven't tried meth!
The future fucking sucks.
Raw-doggin' reality

Maybe both?
The internet has become too mainstream
It's so over!
You just missed it
I know 🥺 Growing up while the internet was cool suucked!
Meanwhile, I want to escape this fucking world.
Which movie is this from?
That Gerard way show, umbrella academy.
Or if you go further back, its from an episode of Malcolm in the middle
You know a show is good when just knowing the characters makes this screenshot so damn funny.
Netflix show, Umbrella academy, Seasons 1 and 2 are the most worth watching
Except due to the sheer amount of internet controlled cameras and surveillance you cannot escape.
I'm feeling more and more that way even though reality can be pure bullshit sometimes.
