      nope. boomers still behave the same way on the internet when they’re using their real name. it’s really more the screen/lack of physicality that seems to do it.

        Basically they act the way they do because they can’t be punched in the face?

      Not entirely. Just look at people when they get “car brain.” Surround an otherwise decent person with a few thousand pounds of steel, and they can become a complete, egotistical asshole. There’s obviously some anonymity to driving, but most drivers understand they’re identifiable.

    I’m pretty sure that in 100 years time people will look back at the current age of social media with the same kind of horror as we get looking back at doctors recommending cigarettes for weight loss.
