Sorry pal, but I don't give a shit about pop culture.
Riggghttt...that's why you "allegedly" adopted the "Hikikomori" lifestyle like the millions of other fags that do it in Japan, aka living with mom because you're scared of women and work.
Fucking NORMAN...living with mom isn't being a Hikikomori you moron. -

You pull all these accusations out of your ass assuming you know what my thinking and motivations are.
You people are very arrogant about your ignorance. -

2020-05-20 at 7:34 PM UTCWhen I started on the Net, there were no web browsers, no search engines, no Windows, no Apple, no MS-DOS, no nothing. All we had was TelNet, and we used a program called HyperTerminal to navigate BBS sites. BBS sites were the only thing on the Net. Nothing else existed, except for newsreader groups.

Luxury...when I started on the net it was a woven thing used to catch fish that often needed repairing before we headed out to sea.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

We also had to build our own computers and configure everything ourselves, with no one to tell us what to do. We had to figure it all out by trial and error. Our hard drives were called scuzzy drives (SCSI), and they required specific jumper positions to operate correctly, so you had to go through a trial and error process of trying one jumper position, hooking up, see if it worked, and if not, write down what you already tried and try another, until it magically came alive when you guessed the right combination of pins. Memory had to be manually configured as well. You had to set the DMAs and IRQs yourself, and if you ran into conflicts, you had to go through a trial and error process to determine which DMA/IRQ/device was the conflict. It could take you hours just to get all the hardware running interdependently with no conflicts. Even the modem required what was called an "init string", or it wouldn't operate, and you had no idea what it was, so you had to guess until you got it right. That was an age where kidiot fuckholes had no possible chance of getting on the Net. One mistake and you were fucked and offline until you didn't fuck up. Only knowledgeable people with knowledge to contribute could even get on. The rest of the fuckwits couldn't get on at all, unless they got one of us to do it, and we wouldn't. Knowledge was kind of sacred and valuable back then, so you didn't just give it away willy-nilly. -

2020-05-20 at 7:55 PM UTCAnd even when you got on, the feds were already in there and all over the place, like flies on shit. The feds would just be just licking their lips, waiting for anyone to try anything funny, so they could raid them and steal all their equipment. So you had to be really, really careful about what you said and did, because the feds were kind of in fear of it, because they didn't quite understand where it was all going, but they understood it was going somewhere, and fast.
