    I do miss the old internet where most people were smart enough to not use their real name and to not take people too seriously.

      Man I’m old enough to remember if you posted a photo of yourself online you’d get ridiculed to high heaven over it. I remember one dude in an IRC room I used to frequent linking a photo of himself and people just went nuts making fun of him.

      Does no one remember the “Hello My Future Girlfriend” kid?
