Did the internet always move this fast or did we just get meaner" hits hard because I read some article a while back about how outrage spreads way faster than anything else online, like the algorithm feeds on people being mad. The thing about 2010 is that stuff really did just vanish, no screenshots, no archive, you said something dumb and it was gone. Now every joke has a paper trail and strangers can dig it up forever. The grocery store part is the weirdest to me, all that anger stays online and never shows up in real life. Makes me think we didn't get meaner exactly, we just got a place to be mean without any cost.

Wait, you watched the pilots of FOUR shows after binging the whole thing and still had to ask who half the characters were? That part is wild to me. And your buddy in Reno had to point it out before it clicked? I get skipping a slow pilot here and there but doing it as a rule and bragging about it is a whole other level.
