I can’t fully explain to younger people how cool the internet used to be. We had open forums, personal websites, weird experimental pages, and chaotic corners of the web, before Amazon, Google, and Meta turned it into a sterile, closed ecosystem of clutter, and commerce.
Now 52% of young adults live with their parents, the highest rate ever, surpassing even the Great Depression. The most-educated and most in debt generation in history did everything they were supposed to and got this.
The system. Does. Not. Work
Whenever people talk about how huge Forza Horizon’s open worlds are, or how big modern racing games have become, I always think back to being a kid, loading up FUEL, opening the map and being completely blown away by the sheer scale of it!
For perspective, Forza Horizon 6 has the biggest and densest map in Horizon history, with fan estimates placing it at roughly 142–145 km².
FUEL’s map? A ridiculous 14,400 km², or 5,560 square miles! That makes it roughly 100 times larger, and this game released all the way back in 2009 on the Xbox 360 and PS3!
That sense of scale genuinely blew my mind as a kid. Seriously, check this out! 🤯🔥

Always keep cash and a blade or blunt object on you. I was walking home one night and a guy on a bmx bike asked if I wanted to buy it. He requested a mere $10. I knew he stole it, but I had spraypaint at my house so I took him up on the deal. Then he inquired where he could get crack. It was 3 am but I knew just the place, so I directed him there whilst doing bunny hops and riding lazily on the back pegs. Then the crack dealer asked me about the bike and offered me $20 for it. Never accept the first offer. I told him i had it for years and was really sentimental about it, the guy who sold it to me earlier didn't utter a word because I already flashed the boxcutter I keep in my crewsocks when I went to grab the $10 earlier for him. We eventually settled on a trade of 3 grams of meth for it. I tell you this because I want you to remember that the whole world doesn't exist behind a screen, but rather with people who actually who go outside with an open mind. You always have to be ready to kill people though
Koulibaly 🗣️: “ I will never forget that day. In the tunnel before the match, I shyly asked Leo if we could swap shirts later. He smiled gently and said ‘OK’.”
“But after the final whistle, the pitch was so crowded, and Leo quickly went inside. I went back to our dressing room feeling a bit sad, thinking: ‘He is a massive superstar, he probably just forgot about me’.”
“Suddenly, the door to our dressing room opened, and everyone went completely quiet. It was Messi. He walked straight up to me, handed me his shirt, gave me a warm hug, Then he smiled and walked away.”
“The greatest player in the world came all the way to our dressing room just to keep a simple promise to me. That is pure class.”
The theory that the Boston cop slide is gentle to those who are pure of heart and vicious to those who are evil* seems like the best explanation.
