💻I know that Discord and other social media platforms (and ofc this) exist, and that's fine and dandy. But do you remember the thrill of going into chat rooms? Getting responses in real time, not too personal, low commitment, and always available? I guess it's all sex bots and links to other platforms now, but for just a brief moment in internet history, it was glorious. Except for kids getting groomed. That was bad. Anyway. Two of my best friends even met their now-husbands on chat rooms!
