Schlitze Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Today at work I somehow ended up on some clickbait site, it was the 20 cute child actors who grew up to be ugly bastards. Quite intriguing, couldn't resist, I clicked through the whole lot to see who was on there and read about how they lost their looks. The writer had quite limited ability and was quite repetitive ''not cute anymore''. Ron Howard and his brother Clint are on there, hadn't seen Clint before, he looks like an alien. That geek from Big Bang Theory is on there. Macaulay Culkin gets savaged for growing up to be a useless unphotogenic pile of shite, likewise Fred Savage, but he gets some backhanded compliments for achieving things in adult life. Haley Joel Osment gets slated for having big eyes as a child which are now small eyes because his face got so big and meaty. Plus loads of other folk I've never heard of, who have grown into rather unique looks. My screen cracked after clicking onto some of these mutha's. Genetics.

Entorwellian Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) The internet was ruined when capitalism and the real world took it over. You could trace this back to December 1996, when AOL switched to a monthly fee and mailed out those AOL disks by the millions, but to be honest the internet was probably compromised the moment it left the hands of the university, hacker nerds and military and went into the business world.

Brisbot Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Yeah, but it's still better than TV's.... at least at the moment. Quote Imagine having your star fade before you're old enough to fuck supermodels and buy a Bugatti. Imagine dating as a bummy, lumpen former child star. yeah that would suck. I'd definitely lose sleep over the thought if I were a former child star. but thankfully I'm not? But now I have the potential to lose sleep over the fact that I COULD have been a successful child star who grew up into an... adult star. or whatever. DAMN WHY WASN'T I FAMOUS AS A KID?!?!?!

joshuatxuk Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I've been trying to pretend my internet interactions are pre-2.0 era. I stop trying to keep up with trends and 24-hr cycle shit. It's such a waste of time and I feel sorry for those who either make it a huge part of their life or have a life dependent on such an existence. I've been busy with work and raising a kid so naturally I've been offline much less, but even when I am I avoid needless scrolling. It's like I gave up being part of the "social media" tribe. It's liberating and makes me feel a lot less stressed out or emotionally iffy. I got off twitter, I stopped checking FB, and I completely gave up reading any music news/journalism sites. In fact apps like Spotify and Last.fm are rare examples of newer programs which have actually enhanced my personal online life. And of course there's WATMM, this feels like being on Cheers Edited March 25, 2016 by joshuatx Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide joshuatxuk's signature Hide all signatures Tape Escape!

Guest Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 normies ruined everything internet used to be a place where everything could go and somehow those people who were the most of the radar and created the stuff that made the internet so damn interestin were ,somewhat ironically, able to keep the most interesting and civil conversations going. it's exactly the reason that all norms and values of 'normal' life didn't apply, that made the early internet such an appealing place: a place where you could be yourself with none of the crap that makes ordinary life so fucking dull and bland. a good 98% of the clearnet is the same: you can't have an opinion that hurts people ('fuck the jews' for instance) because you get banned for being an asshole to a certain group of people. fuck that shit. life is not fair or equal. why do you demand it to be equal ON THE INTERNET for gods sake. the same goes for this place by the way: have a discerning opinion than that of the group, or use words that don't fit within the accepted discourse and people spite your ass with 140 character insults and remarks. go suck a dick and realise that THIS KIND OF GROUP THINK IS MEDIOCRE. now you've got internet control groups, sensitive bitch faggots who demand the world to dance to their narcissistic needs and just a general influx of low-denominator people who don't experience the internet as a gift, but rather as a right they deserve and thus can abuse. they take it for granted, and as such, create a horrible place that appeals to the masses but leaves the innovators hanging by the balls, wondering why the fuck we even invested time in this bitch. still, there are fun places: they are just hard to find.
