  • Good things: you get someone to spend time with. Frequent sex. Someone to share your world with.b you tell your secrets, you trust them

    Bad things: they have their own needs, even when it isn’t convenient for you. You have to accept that you’re a partnership, and their judgement is important. You trust them, whether or not they deserve it. You are open and vulnerable, which means you’re vulnerable. Sex can be mechanical and unfulfilling. Your growth needs to include them



  • I remember it being pretty incredible that there were other users out there I could talk to. I had heard about email and I got an address! I didn’t know anyone to email, but I had an address! Chat was amazing. BBS systems offered text games, like LORD - which also took things to a new level. Participation in discussion forums on BBSes and AOL led me to forums on the Web. At school we used to use gopher but the www was more fun (if you could see past the construction sign graphics) and you could always see the hit counters and guestbook links on most pages. Then the construction signs got more sophisticated and animated😀 The early-mid-90s Internet was glorious. Google showed up after Yahoo was too littered with ads… Some guys in college made a search engine that prioritized speed - dreadfully important at analog speeds…
