Before the Internet, kids lived isolated existences that precluded communication. They would sit in their rooms, listen to records, and engage in immoral masterbatory behavior.

    It’s true. For the first 18yrs of my life I never encountered another kid, just whacked it and played Sabbath records backwards to summon the devil. As soon as I turned 18 I was ready to join the greater community of godless dopesmokers, D&D players, and pornography connoisseurs.

    I remember how as a clueless kid, I just went around the internet, and acted as close as my idiot brain could to other people, and I didn't know to have a distinction between old as fuck and young as fuck.

    Except I would simply believe older people knew more if they started talking.

    Anyway, unsurprisingly, people assumed I was an adult, and would give me horrific insults, ask me things they should not, and expect me to perform at their level, and have situational awareness.

    What a massive fuckup.

    Social media isn't the entirety of the internet. Banning them from social media doesn't preclude other forms of digital communication.
