Tired of the whole world is what I am.

Sometimes I get bored of the internet.

WP can sometimes be inactive, except for the threads that I don't care to read or post in, such as PPR and the off the wall section.

YouTube is too censored and won't show thrilling things like dead bodies. The intense gore websites give my phone viruses.

Both Audible and Playbooks doesn't have the audiobooks I want so it gets frustrating trying to search for them when they aren't available anywhere on the internet at all.

Emails are just spam s**t advertising sex with beautiful Russian girls.

Google hardly ever seems to have the answers I'm looking for. My thoughts and problems must be so unique that even the internet can't answer them.

Facebook is usually the most exciting online place I go to because there is always something new and my Facebook feed isn't full of crap like Facebook is stereotyped to be.

Oh, you need to go on the dark web then for all that, or liveleak. :)

I cant really get tired of the internet because its almost infinite, coming up with new stuff constantly. Although I do talk badly about it .

I completely agree. I'm much less obsessed with the net than I used to be & while there are lots of bad things about the net these days, there are also lots of good things. I never really lived in the real world & I didn't have the net till after I graduated high-school. Before I graduated I mostly just watched TV, played video-games, & listened to music when I was home. The net can make it a lot easier to do those things. I can find TV shows online that I used to watch as a kid & teen that cable quit showing reruns of long ago & those shows were not officially released on DVD. I can find LOTS of music online that never gets airplay on the mainstream commercial FM stations these days. While I do like top 40 pop, classic rock, soft rock, country, & oldies, I also like other types of music as well that I never hear on typical radio stations. YouTube & Torrenting is great for discovering & acquiring music. I'm NOT into online gaming but I can DL old-skewl games online that can be played on my computer with emulator programs for Supper Nintendo & Game Boy & such. Emulators can make some games a lot easier cuz I can save whenever I want, find cheat codes online, apply patches to fix bugs & glitches or make some things kewler & more fun. Plus I can look up players guides online while playing even if I'm playing newer games on their actual systems. The net can also be great for researching things like health issues & having a supportive community where I can socialize & discuss problems like on this forum.

The net can have lots of bad things or things that can be bad for some people like social media, fake news, catfish, & nefarious types like scammers, phishers, hackers, & others spying & invading privacy. It's very important to be cautious when using the net & to take breaks from it some, moderation is key.

Being tired of the internet is like ...a combination of ..."being tired of the Library of Congress", and "being tired of Crystal Meth". :lol:

For both positive, and negative, reasons, its hard to imagine anyone "getting tired of it".

The content is infinite (like an unlimited library). So (for postive reasons) its impossible to "get tired of the content".

But (largely for the above reason) it is also addicting and time wasting. And can become a substitute for having a real life. So for negative reasons its also hard to get "tired of it" by going cold turkey, and trying to live in the 20th century and do without it for days on end.

Tired enough to just download a lot of stuff instead of just reading real time stuff or actively spent time scouring online.

Enough to suddenly take drawing seriously. And "reading" via text to speech or skip the visual stuff of any videos and just listen.


I'm thinking of getting a 'common place' book for myself. Cause I don't need the entire google.

Also data is expensive and WiFi's not a constant thing available all around even if it's getting cheaper and faster -- that would've mattered to me a decade ago when I'm still binging content by content...
