If you've got nothing nice to say, go the fuck away. I'm instantly blocking shitheads who want to poke fun at this for their own amusement. You lead sad little lives.

I am probably the last of the group of people that were some of the early adopters of the internet. The internet didn't fully become public and more accessible until 1994, I didn't start using the internet until 1996. I am nearing 30 years old on the internet by next year. People from my group, we've seen it all by this point.

We've seen the internet at it's infancy, as it developed, the explosion of it's usage, the dot com bubble burst, Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Flash's death and the ongoing enshittification of the internet today as we know it.

Niblings. There's a word I've never heard before. I'm guessing it means niece or nephew. I like it.

Yeah, my wife found it somewhere online a while back. Not having kids ourselves, we end up talking about our niblings a lot but we always felt like the phrase "nieces and nephews" was a bit cumbersome in conversion so, it filled a need for us. I keep hearing it from people that have no connection to us so it seems like we're not the only ones who've latched onto in recent years.
