@squirrel Hi maple! I love you so much ♥
@Concerned_Catgirl good morning!
"almost everything on computers is perceptually slower than it was in 1983"
"amber-screen library computer in 1998: type in two words and hit F3. search results appear instantly. now: type in two words, wait for an AJAX popup. get a throbber for five seconds. oops you pressed a key, your results are erased..."

@squirrel wow, same!
@what yeah I tried to have a banana recently and it was... painful
