The internet is deteriorating.

I was going through some older posts on Ants, and about 30% of the youtube links I clicked on are dead. Most of the news links are dead, too. Half of what I looked for on archive.org is completely gone.

"everything you put on the internet is forever!"

... says the person who can no longer find a chunk of what they posted online.

This is fascinating to me.

    There’s definitely things I have posted here that I would have zero objection to being deleted.

    Really makes you question: What was it all for?

    The amount of time I have spent on forums is probably a pretty sobering thought experiment of what I could have spent time on doing more productive things.

    Almost as sobering as trying to guess at the total amount of money I have spent on alcohol since I turned 21 and if I had saved it all instead.

    When you're here for as long as we've been, that's inevitable

    Coulda shoulda woulda. Can't let yourself get too caught up in that. I smoked for 15 years (quit last November), and I refuse to look into how much I spent buying smokes. Just this last year paid for my cat's overnight at the ER, so fucking hell.

    I put pen to paper and went down that rabbit hole once. At the end, I burned the paper and drank an 18 pack.
