>>225394782007 was an awful year because I started watching more YouTube than TV,
I started sleeping in my room instead of the den, my father started coming
on Sat-Sun then again on 4 days later on Thu-Fri then not again until 8 days later
for who the hell knows what reason BUT I suspect he quite specifically wanted to waste my time thereby harming me,
and I met Tetsamaru on Napalm Luck forums who showed me Touhou when I asked him about his signature in 2008.
I should've started working 5 years before I did because I got my Associate in Science in 2013, but I didn't get my first job until 2018.
The mid 2010s were the most culturally barren period of all time because TV programming guarantees that you
end up seeing what you probably will never make yourself hunt for and watch online or subscribe to Crunchyroll to watch their PITIFUL selection of series.
You have to have a bank card to watch services like Crunchyroll, but their services SUCK and if you work you don't have the time to do anything anyway;
if you leave your TV on all day then you will end up seeing whatever they broadcast.
If you subscribe to a service you will get distracted and procrastinate for years,
but you won't even want to relax and watch any show in its entirety because your stiff, uncomfortable deskchair makes you fidgety.
I don't respect anybody who prefers chairs to couches.
DVD boxsets of anime series don't suck because you can watch them on while sitting on a couch.
I got InuYasha season 1 on DVD in 2004 for my 14th birthday, which I watched on the salmon pinkish/orange Laz-E-Boy in my den.
I watched InuYasha chop off Sesshomaru's leg while sitting on that magnificent couch.
That was a greater experience than any of the stupid AMV shit I was watching on YouTube in 2007-2008.
Things were already awful as soon as cable internet and YouTube replaced cable TV and watching DVD boxsets on your Laz-E-Boy,
but then Touhou and smartphones made shit even worse.
