What actually blows my mind is boomers absolutely had it right at the dawn of the internet.
Trust NOBODY. Trust NOTHING. Surrender NO SHRED of your identity over the wire.
Wtf happened? I didn't see it unfold myself. When I moved out on my own, the boomers still didn't trust anything on a computer screen.
Then one day everyone's parents were on Facebook and they're falling for the most obscene lies.
Anyways, thank you Anakin for training some of us to be Jedis before you succumbed to the dark side. I promise not to forget the wisdom you imparted before you went insane.
Did not even had to be over the wire. I was not allowed to recreate my family in the Sims :(
