When I was 14, porn was on the internet. Sure it was a dark age but it wasn't a savage time.
Dialup.
It was a very savage time.
But you could still get porn through descrambling your cable-box, even back in the dial-up days. It was ridiculously simple to do, and easy to hide. We had our ways in the old days! Ways that are forgotten now, but we olds were not so different than you.

Come back when you've shared a Playboy with 3 other people that you stole from a convenience store.
All I remember of The Nomadic Circle was when he posted about how superior his home country's culture was to Canadian culture, which raised the question about why he was doing his schooling at a Canadian university.
because it's a higher quality education obviously
*no reason why that would be*
Among his people, a young man must go far away from the dates, to decide if date farming is for him. Like rumspringa but just abstaining from dates.
I would 100% press the button, but I have no idea if it would change anything.
Also, going back with present-day knowledge might do more harm than good.
Well fuck, I just thought more of it and I realize I could save my cousin on 9/11 and possibly even stop it altogether because I remember the flight numbers and whatnot.
And the question at that point becomes... you want to end up where you were, only better off or more at peace with the way your life went.
Would you be willing to sit back and let bad things happen in the world to preserve the normal order, only making the smallest of inconsequential changes on the personal level
I'm having trouble typing again (stupid wrist) so I'll just add this to the conversion...

We didn't HAVE to share them. There was a shoebox filled with Playboys in a storm drain near my neighborhood. I wish I was kidding about this. No one ever questioned WHY there was a shoebox full of Playboy magazines in a storm drain. I guess we just assumed that the porn fairies delivered them.

if I could roll the clock back I would probably have skipped the alien sex cult girlfriend.
This would also mean I end up not having my native american sojourn.
And as much as I cherish those years and they make for great stories at dinner parties, those years caused a lot of problems for me that persisted for a very long time, impacted relationships with the family... it was a mess, much of it of my own making and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
when you inevitably disappear off the forums, alien sex cult girlfriend story will remain in our memories to be recounted just as we are doing now to others
I actually tried looking for her on the internet recently just to see if the rabbit hole got deeper.
Her properly was listed as unclaimed and up for a government auction.
Welp.

For me at least, a lot of stuff that I am unhappy with today stems back to a single occasion, and I would definitely go back and try and avoid that occasion somehow (or maybe mentally prepare for it better?).
Now it's certainly possible that that occasion was simply a trigger, and something else might have happened with similar or the same results. It will be still worth the effort.
if i went back 15 years i would tell myself it doesn't get better
it doesn't ever get any better
I would go back 15 years with you and be your life coach. We'd make a few huge sure thing bets before the timelines diverged too much, then, extremely rich, head off to Mexico for hells of illegal cosmetic surgery.

So Raytheon is the dumbest company. There is a project to adapt an air to air missile for surface use. Fills a medium range gap and should end up saving a bunch of money compared to developing one from scratch. But Raytheon refuses to use the development designation of SLAMRAAM (with the SL being surface launched). Do they not under stand that weapon systems with cool names sell better? Shit I want to buy fifty based on the name alone.

Every one of their press releases call it the AMRAAM-EM. Which isn't awful but lacks the poetic beauty of SLAMRAAM.
I'm gonna be "that guy" and say I absolutely would not go back. I'm only who I am because I made the mistakes I did then. Even for the most painful parts I experienced or the most horrible things I could've prevented, I wouldn't want it to have happened any other way. I think the way things would be different, the way things would have to progress, I would end up deeply missing now, which is something I would never be able to get back, something which I, myself, invalidated the entire existence of.
Mistakes are necessary, they're how you grow, and we have regrets to prevent things from happening in the future like they did in the past, not so that we can just lament the past for being what it was.
Think about it like this: say you did hit the button, and you went back, and you lived out your life differently and avoided all the mistakes you made the first time around. Now you get to your current age, and lo and behold someone gives you the opportunity to hit the button just like last time. Would you hit it then? Surely, you would've made some new mistakes, things couldn't go exactly as you planned, everything wouldn't be totally perfect. On the reasoning you used to hit it the first time, why wouldn't you hit it again? And then, again? And again? Why would you ever let time progress, let anyone or anything in the world grow except yourself?
[about a girl being born with mental disabilities]
This girl is like a leper so what she needs to do is try and find god
if she really believes she can be healed from this state, she will be healed from this state
Most afflictions like this are caused by sins committed while still inside the womb. If she can repent for what she does god will embrace her and make her as human as you or me but if she chooses not to she'll always be like this

Yeah right now I think I'd go back to like a month ago and see if there was some way I could prevent my relationship from ending
but I've always been one of those "I wouldn't change my mistakes" people so maybe I'll feel differently when the whole healing thing is over
My apple watch told me it was time to stand up and move so I dropped my arm off the armrest of my chair and let it swing like I was walking for a few seconds. It congratulated me on advancing toward my daily fitness goals.
remember when kids had to steal porn from their dads' secret stashes?
"Using" your dad's / older brother's Playboy seems so gross to me.
You did your best to not ponder it. But truly among young men I was blessed. Growing up, I earned pocket money/paid for my phone line by pushing a broom at my dad's garage. Where there was not merely one stash of porn but many. A veritable buffet of porn.

I just want to cook and sew and exercise and study more so I can have a headstart and be coolguy and a good housewife. Because I'm super envious.
Also I would save mad time with all the books and games I've already done. And get the good ones before they become rare and expensive.
people always think this before they join a sex cult
