+ I'm old enough to remember the Web of the 1990s/ 2000s.
It was a maze. You followed hypertext links, stumbled into forums and early troll-caves, used Slashdot and GoTo, experimented with LiveJournal and Blogger.
It wasn't safe, it was filled with weirdness, appealed heavily to geeks and loners. Being on the web in that era was a serious trip.
But it wasn't corporate. It wasn't the tool of major governments, yet. It was defiantly decentralised, and when you were online...
... you felt free.
Shipwrecks rise from the ocean.
Grass and trees reclaim the highways.

My favorite shows on Youtube right now are from folks so disgusted with the GOP that they Left the party (Or say the party left Them) and they're tearing the GOP apart.
I don't think The Right is gonna have a cohesive political argument for a couple Decades at this point. They used it all up on Trump.
Get ready for the Angry White Boys to ramp up their violence though, they're headed for a permanent political minority.
@kelseyhusky I read, I'm just usually engaged a million other places. Sorry. ._.
@OldRedSun It really is a fantastic way to explore and formalize the relationships between systems.
I'd always wondered why I enjoyed so many Duets.

Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
