I used to believe that websites and texting weren’t going to be a serious thing.
I thought they were just novelties and a childish waste of time. In my defense, many people didn’t use those services, as well as being very primitive and expensive.

When I was growing up it seemed like most people treated the internet as a supplement to traditional media rather than as a replacement. Advertisements in phone books often had links to websites, but it wasn’t expected that everybody would just bypass the phonebook and go straight to the website. Youtube was for 5 minute cat videos and music piracy, not 3 hour history lectures and political debates. Smartphones and social media changed all that, but gradually over the course of a decade. My parents still subscribed to the newspaper up until the late 2010’s because traditional media often maintained a veneer of ‘respectability’ which helped keep them alive.
There have also been false starts before. Virtual reality gaming has not taken off as much as some people have hoped, and after the North American Video Game Crash of 1983 the idea that video games were a passing fad seemed very much justified.

I don’t drink, and never have, but I’m gonna whine about wine.
I used to think that wine was a fancy drink for fancy people. That every bottle spent ten years fermenting inside an oak barrel in the cellar of an old manor at the top of a hill. That wine meant luxury, exclusivity, and opulence.
Then I got a job shelving wine at a grocery store. I saw all the hipster brands for yuppies. I saw plastic bags inside cardboard boxes. I saw Snoop Dogg on a wine bottle.
Now I just see wine as a consumer commodity. As glorified grape juice. It’s Bud Lite for women.

I used to think that USAtoday, Snopes, and most other independent “fact checkers” were invested in telling the truth. Now, no more.

I used to believe that race was just skin and eye color, and that equality was always the best thing to strive for.
I also used to believe in the so-called ““Holy Bible””, I used to be a Catholic and that its conversion mentality was good more than anything. As I learned more about opposing viewpoints and evidence and/or information to the contrary, I, especially later on in High School and such, became disgusted and disillusioned more than awed by it. Ditto for the Islamic ““Quran”” and Hadith, the Jewish Torah, Tosefta, and especially the filth found in the Talmud.
>No actual evidence for the Hebrew/Jewish Exodus from Egypt
>A woman who is found to have been raped by a man can expect TO LIVE IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE WITH HER RAPIST WITH NO CHANCE OF EITHER GETTING A DIVORCE FROM THE OTHER
>Bullshit nonsensical, and inane regulations on what one is permitted to do with one’s body and what one can think about
>Propaganda here and there focusing on oneness, much its bonkers, plus the Commandment to “Spread the Gospel to all nations”, something which Islam and Communism share in their mentality; ie that “Workers of the world UNITE!” crap
ALL of them have a record of erasing knowledge and tampering with history and replacing it with lies. such as the destruction of the library of Antioch in the 360s CE, the 391 smashing and ransacking of the 2nd Library of Alexandria. And also the destruction at the hands of the Islamic Rashidun Caliphate of scores of libraries and butchering of the Zoroastrian Priesthood during their invasion of Sassinid Persia in the mid 7th century CE, and continuing with smashing and demented desecration of Zoroastrian, Central Asian Shamanic, Buddhist, and Hindu temples in the name of ““Allah”” in Afghanistan, and many areas of North India, Especially in the northwestern regions
Each of these creeds of ignorance, gullibility, and stupidity originate from the very same people who run most of Hollywood, banking and public academia. truly, playing both sides against the middle is their forte

When I was under ten, I thought that wandering around having impromptu unsanctioned fights for people to bet on was a job you could have.
