The internet has always been my salvation.
As a socially underdeveloped kid, I’d spend my lunch hours in the high school library on those public desktop computers, reading fandom sites about my favorite video games. Computers always made sense to me. I even owe my entire career to them.
But the internet today feels wrong. Whatever the fuck kind of psychological warfare is happening right now with this Epstein stuff is too much for my mind to handle. I can’t do it anymore.
I will love. I will vote. I will support my community and continue to oppose this fucking nightmarish system we all find ourselves in. But I need to sign off.
Imagine the door closing sound effect when logging out of AIM.


you inspired me to check out ytmnd. fucking front page has an epstein contest.
i’m not entirely sure if i was on a tour of an active particle accelerator if i wouldn’t take a dive just to try to get us all on a different universe. godsdamned weasels
It’s unavoidable, isn’t it?
I checked my RSS feeds once today and read that SpaceX is developing their own particle accelerator.
Man, I loved YTMND back in the day. I can’t for the life of me remember how I first heard about it
the guy who introduced me to ytmnd tried and failed spectacularly to form an antigovernment militia (everyone he recruited was atf. he was such a doofus). my undergraduate experience introduced me to some interesting people who went on to commit the stupidest felonies.
Sounds like some wild folks.
After pondering it for about ten minutes I’m pretty sure I was introduced to YTMND by someone posting https://darthno.ytmnd.com/ in response to something in a forum I was on. I’ve had that URL memorized ever since and use it every now and then for similar dramatic responses of my own
i mean, every drama department is full of characters
