    I have! I wonder when the hipsters who started shooting with Lomo and
    Holga film cameras, then early digicams, will discover personal web
    sites?

    I miss good personal pages, though they do still exist, just harder to stumble accross them.

    There is a great search engine
    https://wiby.me

    Only indexes simple web pages.

    Click "suprise me" to be transported to the web at the turn of the century. I've come accross so much interesting stuff doing that.

    it's like being transported back to the mid 90s - 2000's.

    i used to use this thing called stumbleupon that you would click it and it would take you to a 'random' site that had your interests. that was fun.
    I guess cloudhiker.net is sort of like it.

    I'll have to take a look at that. I have a page, https://tilde.club/~poindexter, that I set up with Blosxom, a web site
    blog app I liked back in the 2000s. It's a perl script that does
    templating and creates static pages for your site based on text file
    blog posts. Maybe that will qualify?

    From a rational point of view I cannot justify chasing a woman when I can be making money or expanding my harvesting area instead. And for people who is tight on resources it is not a matter of justification but of hard impossibility - they cannot pay the bidding price.

    Work hard enough and you'll attrace members of the opposite sex with
    your large, expansive tracts of land! No chasing required!


    Land is not the chick magnet it used to be.

    Anyway, attracting is one thing and keeping another. The problem lies right on the fact that women want you to keep them entertained, take
    them to places, and no matter what they tell you, they will get bored
    of cost-efficient activities quite fast and ditch you for somebody who will spend more resources in them. For no other reason that if your
    idea of fun is participating in scythe contests you must be a borying bloke with no personallity, of course.

    Wow. I own 17 acres and have kept my woman for 45 years. She loves
    working around the land and once in a while we take a trip to a state
    park.

    Maybe I found someone who is different than other women. Not sure as
    I've only known one. Not sure what any of this has to do with facebook
    though. :)
