The internet has become what I associate with old time billboard advertising pollution on highway off-ramps. At least in that context the billboards didn't suddenly pop-up in front of the steering wheel and/or brake/gas pedals.
The Midnight Pub has been a rare exception in my internet experience in the last couple decades. I want to say the last environ matching my textural needs was Craiglist fora, which actually has me a bit gasping in disbelief. It's just never been the same for me since USENET mostly went by the wayside.
Hey, I've really appreciated your timely interaction! Nice to see replies so quickly - or let's say quickly enough that whatever I wrote you're replying to still constitutes semi-warm mental embers.
In that case, I think I'm really gonna enjoy it here! Its nice to finally find a place that doesn't entirely consist of advertisements and tracking, for once my adblocker can take a break.
Also, you're welcome! I got a lot of time on my hands so I've started checking the pub and reading up on older posts often. It's kinda nice.
