does anyone else have this problem. i get scared that i will be sitting there for about 20 seconds waiting for all the posts, images and love juice to load. back in the day when i was on dialup it took longer to click on brand new threads. that's the thing about fast internet, it makes you impatient and somehow changes you as a person. nothing does the job anymore, nothing satisfies your most earthly desires. and what are those anyway? i don't even know anymore. when i was on dialup i knew myself. i'm just a ghost now.

Eh, I always have like 50 Firefox tabs open at any given time. I click on topics and then instantly go to another window so I don't have to wait even a second with nothing to read.
RE: internets, yeah, as a human being, I jumped the shark when I got DSL. I was a better person before I had high speed.

i think it's mainly down to greed. it's like surfing the internet back in the day was a relaxing sport. now it's frantic and sweaty. 7000 tabs and 18 different programs downloading whatever you can find.

It's safe to assume that 80% of the posts are hilarious pictures posted by Drunken Mastah.

It's fun to skip around tabs, get distracted, and then open up a tab and then go ''OH MY GOD, this is so interesting/sexy, I forgot I clicked on that, what a pleasant surprise.'' Yeah.

"as a human being, I jumped the shark when I got DSL."
Lol.
i couldn't agree more. i don't know if i'd be doing anything more productive with my spare time if i didn't have the internets, but i am sure that i waste 95% of it online now that i do.
