Nowadays everything under the sun has been discussed at least several hundred thousand times on the internet. Comedy websites are running out of original things to say. Everyone is running out of original things to say. Man... it's depressing.

I've actually been getting so bored of seeing content regurgitated over and over, I went to the source, 4chan. And even there, I didn't get the amusement and lulz I used to from the internet. Meh, maybe it's just me maturing and wanting to experience stuff in real life... *shudders* damn nature, you scary.

It is a positive way to look at things. We are all failures, and always have been, so things can't get any worse. They won't get any better, either, but at least we've got a steady strain of hideous disappointment to look forward to.

Know where that's from? Ecclesiastes. A book written in the 3rd or 4th century BCE.

Everything is, amazingly, still around, and we haven't run out of new ideas yet, so seriously, just get over it and stop acting like the future is bleak and empty.

Amazingly, indeed. If things were going steadily downhill at the constant rate some people would have you believe, we'd be back to hunting and gathering.

Not that original topic matters much, but I for one am glad that everything no longer has an "AOL Keyword".

It's still more or less accessible and cheap.

I think it is marginalizing tv.

Yeah, people have been bitching about things being better in the past but it's not as good bitching as it used to be. Back in the day they used to curse until the burst a vessel and foam at the mouth. Nowadays they moan about anything..
