A lonely, quiet person has observations and experiences that are at once both more indistinct and more penetrating than those of one more gregarious; his thoughts are weightier, stranger, and never without a tinge of sadness. (...) Loneliness fosters that which is original, daringly and bewilderingly beautiful, poetic. But loneliness also fosters that which is perverse, incongruous, absurd, forbidden.Report message to a moderator

There are so many reasons that CRTs are superior it's not even funny.
- Instant response time for gaming
- Flickering from beam scanning hypnotizes you
- Coil whine puts you in a trance like state
- Low res content looks amazing
The biggest thing is that last one. Old stuff is way better than new stuff right now and the old stuff just looks better on a laser beam hitting phosphors. It's scientifically proven
