I like vocaloid music, but many of the songs are in Japanese which I don’t speak

If we’re going to have a dictator’s face plastered everywhere, why’d we have to get one that looks so stupid?
Like big brother in 1984 at least fits the vibe of authority and power. Big brother exudes the aura of intelligence and confident control… but Trump just looks like some geriatric pedo who has the cognitive faculties of a half dead badger (because he is lol)
A poster of Trump doesn’t inspire fear; it makes me think “making eye contact with this poster will probably lower my IQ”
Why can’t we have a more aesthetic dystopian collapse?
First time using the internet was probably playing poptropica with my siblings.
First time really using the internet was trying to get the ancient windows XP computer in our basement to be less slow and connect to the internet secretly. Ended up going down rabbit holes leading me to learn to write simple viruses, learn what Linux was, and learn to hop on tor for anonymous chat rooms with random strangers across the world.
Sure I was super afraid of viruses and pedos, but it was a nice escape from the small religious town I was being raised in at the time. It was nice being able to talk about philosophy and my own opinions without an adult hitting me for “defying god” or saying “homeopathic medicine is pseudoscience” etc.
It’s kind of odd how nostalgic I am for basic html websites and old looking IRC clients. I’m pretty young for someone who misses “the old internet” but that was the only kind of internet interaction I could really access (without parental supervision) for a long time.
