just ten years each of which lasted 1.8 years
- No, I think they were each a year except for 2020-21, which lasted for 10 years.
Hate to tell you, but that's closer to 20 years than it is 10.
- I still think of SNES games as 10 years ago.
I was still using Myspace in 2007 for my musical project. I hated Facebook from the word go and only signed up when it was apparent Myspace was being abandoned by all the musicians and bands I networked with. I deleted my Facebook around Covid after I got tired of watching friends and family buy into conspiracy theories and conservative horse shit.
- I liked MySpace. To me it was mainly a site to discover music. A lot switched to facebook around 2007. I never did and i don't regret it.
- I hated Facebook, too. I did end up using it for a few years starting in 2015, but I actually regret doing that.
You spend half an hour going through your crush's pictures to see if anyone ever tagged them in anything from that party a few weeks ago that they didn't post about themselves which was weird because they almost always post at least a few pictures when they go out. You start building a web of everyone you know was there and friend requesting all of them, desperate to see if anyone posted pictures that might give you a hint... A mere glimpse into what Nancy was doing that night. Was she with Peter? Was she with Joe? Was she lying about going out? I bet it was Joe. That fucking douchebag.
- You've gotten help since then...?
  
  I deleted Facebook in like 2008
When I was on facebook back then, I would see boomers making posts talking about the 1950s in the same way.
- Remember drinking out of a hose? And openly hating black people?
Every college aged white woman's drip from 2005 to 2012.
- Just missing the PSL
The fuck are jeggings?
- One of God's many mistakes.
- Leggings that look like jeans.
  
  And how do you call jeans that look like leggings?
wasn't 2007 the housing bubble recession
- October 2008. I remember exactly... because I had an economics professor in university who started her classes by writing the Dow Jones on the chalkboard. One day I came and I noted that the number had dropped significantly from the day before, she told me 'we haven't seen a drop that big since 1929'.
  Yeah... and just 10 months prior I had another professor tell me that the economy was in such boom that it was making the post-WW2 economic boom look tame... yeah...
  
  December 2007.
  It was still under Bush II.
Needs a belt, sweater layer, and statement necklace.
nah I hated Facebook, hard pass
- Ok then, MySpace. And don't lie that you didn't copy and paste html code from a sketchy site just to post similarly cringe shit.
  
  I never used my space but I thought those kinds of pages were neat
OP is part of the problem. Feeding social media until it could become an unstoppable force.
