Here's a good rule of thumb to keep in mind:
Any time you have a "theory" about other people that implies that you have a natural superiority to them based on your belief that you have superior taste, you're almost certainly full of yourself
- hollerith 11y agoI can usually stay engaged and interested in static documents consisting of black text on a white background for many hours in a row. Some of the people in my life need more mental stimulation than that can provide, and spontaneously tell me as much. (Their main source of mental stimulation is social interaction.) What part of that or my other comment implies that I think I have superior taste?
- oldmanjay 11y agoYour entire comment is a statement that the web of 2K-ish was superior, and that it is also to your taste, so there's the implication. Also, in truth, I'm just tired of the "everything new is shitty, everything old is grand" comments on nerd sites, so I call them out habitually.
- mrdatawolf 11y agoWell "...need more..." implies you are superior because you don't. As well as "... and spontaneously tell me as much." which implies they give you facts you didn't ask for and coupled with the rest of the comment implies you had no interest in knowing i.e. are time wasters.
