“wasn’t it great back when the internet took 92 times longer to load, and there was no youtube?”
I mean, what kind of person are you imaging?
“I miss having gonerea”…
… that’d be a weird kind of person no?
It doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten those things, it’s just not what people were talking about.

“It’d be a weird sort of person who doesn’t willfully ignore reality”
Really?
You can remember good things about the past, but it you willfully ignore the most of what the past was, you’ll get something unrealistic. Like his notion that the internet was better in 1994.
By 1994, the World Wide Web had only existed for five years, HTML was published in 91 and the browser source code for the first web browser for public use in 1993.
You can like things about the past without saying things like “the Internet was better 30 years ago”, because obviously it wasn’t.
Some people like the Model T Ford and be history buffs and whatnot, and that’s perfectly fine. But who of them would say that a Model T is objectively better than a modern car — even a Tesla with all it’s problems? They can like the experience more than driving a regular car, but I’m sure they would never imagine actually traveling with one. It’s just a novelty. Nostalgia.

No, that’s not anything that was actually said, or even a sentiment expressed.
You are, very childish and immature in how you disscuss topics. It must create either great frustration for you, or fill your time.
Good luck with whatever it is you’re seeking.

No, it wasn’t said outloud, it was implied.

Your argument isn’t coherent, as you’re attributing a single phenomena to being caused by a willful ignorance and the rose coloured glasses of forgetfulness or absent minded ignorance.
Which is why you’re shifting goal posts to a position you believe is implied but is actually your own contradictory construction, and of your own making.
Anyways I don’t think I’ll get anywhere with you, as you’re liable to such falsifications and implicit strawmanning.
Have fun arguing with positions you’re making up for yourself. Strange hobby, but whatever. It probably keeps you occupied, so who am I to judge.
