Why don’t they just call it the loserverse? We need a nice name like that for it, to shame these losers. Manosphere is wayyyyy too nice.

Tell me about it lol. I’ve got to.

Haha, well you made it farther than I did, I too liked computers growing up but even though I went and got my A+, Network+, MCSA and all that years and years ago, and then went back to school and got an associates in web development, and then didn’t do anything with that either. OOF. Well good news is now I know why I wasn’t allowing myself to succeed back then, bad news is it’s way too late now for any of that with AI poising to take over everything. I’m kind of glad I didn’t now, kind of, if it wasn’t for the fact I’d actually be financially stable now if I did lol. But life is a journey. I’m actually a bit of a luddite now despite my very early adoption of computers, internet, etc haha. Funny how that works out. Grill sounds great, I love cooking out doors as well, it’s just invigorating :)

AH yeah, I had an older account but I deleted it because I couldn’t resist the urge to make negative comments about the state of things all the time and I’m trying to be more positive so I made a new one. Yeah it’s a bit slow at times but that is kind of refreshing not have to keep up with an endless barrage of stuff ya know.

Yes I enjoy it here so far, there’s a few hotheads but I guess that can’t be avoided anywhere. People seem genuinely interesting and interested in cool stuff, so it’s really my jam. All that stuff is just so beyond my, interest I guess. I love doing things with computers, making art, editing photos, games, I can make some simple web pages and put them on a host, etc. Fun stuff. Now it’s all… I dunno lol. I never got into phone apps to begin with so I think I was lost from the start. I like computing on a full computer. Honestly any algorithm besides chronological sort is junk to me, like you said it can all be gamed so it’s just all so dumb.

Oh gosh well mine was like $5 then lol. Yeah it really doesn’t seem worth it to me but then I live in a totally different economy I suppose.

I wasted so much money on different nootropics over the years, but it was stuff like piracetam, centroxophine, deprenyl, hydergine, stuff that’s actually been tested on people before, and to be honest it would be hard to find a reputable lab nowadays unless you are a legitimate researcher.

I suppose, I just heard about the vastness of the old WoW gold farming economy semi recently, the amount of money going through that kind of stuff is just mind boggling.

Yeah, I’m sure that was going on a LOT, I never really had it in the forefront of my mind though, mostly because thinking of ways to make money seems to be an alien concept to my mind. I wonder how much mine was worth before I got banned… probably not much anyways it was mostly comment karma from answering questions. Oh well lol.

Before they just did it for fake internet points called karma.
