The internet is pretty corrupting. I probably wouldn't be into BDSM without it.

Hard to say, but I think I'd be worse off. Certainly there are more productive things that I probably should have been doing with my spare time rather than jumping online and finding various creative ways to procrastinate, but I'm not convinced that I would have necessarily done those things if the Internet didn't exist. It seems more likely that I'd have just found some other way of killing time, one that probably wouldn't have the side benefits of exposing me to a much broader variety of viewpoints, not to mention products (I can't imagine life without being able to buy hard-to-find books on Amazon).
Life really does get better, whether you're bullied or not

I wouldn't be better, I don't think the internet makes me a bad person or anything lol. I'm not really on the internet all that much anymore though. It would probably make me more productive not having internet, but not better.

I'd be worse off. I wouldn't have this 'I hate people and I wanna be so anti-social' mindset and I'd actually party more instead of blowing people off which in turn would lead to me doing more drugs which just leads to an all around downward spiral.
I do however think I'd be less lazy though.

I'd probably be a nicer person. But I wouldn't have discovered myself, what I believe and what I want, without it. So I prefer it this way.

I probably wouldn't be as judgmental I guess. I don't like being judgmental but it is natural for any human I guess.

For reasons i'm not even going to get into.

The Internet is a mind-blowing communications tool, and I very much believe that its benefits for such greatly outweigh the unnecessary misinformed bullshit it is unfortunately littered with.
i know the kid with his guitar, so drunk and anxious has been
done to death, but tell me what hasn't, i'll try it.
because i'm selfish enough to wanna get better, but i'm
backwards enough not to take any steps to get there.
