  1. Anyone else hate? by Lord+Bitman · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Am I the only one who hates recollection? Especially recollection about how shitty things used to be?

    I remember hearing people talk about the 'good old days', now all you hear about is "OMG REMEMBER WHEN OUR COMPUTARS HAD 3KB AND YOU HAD TO TRYPE INSTEAD OF SPEAK!?!" -- IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING. STOP IT. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR LIFE USED TO BE LIKE, IF IT WAS SHITTY OR GOOD OR ANYTHING. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
    [yes, I meant to do that.]
