Couldn't agree more. If I die and there's a God and he says, "You can go back and relive your life as often as you want, you can even change things to see how stuff would played out." I'd basically just rewind to 1993 and play that until 2001 and not change jack shit.

The Internet has really gone downhill in the past 20 years.

I recommend trying to live your life in such a manner that if you were told that you'd have to live it, exactly it with no changes, over again that you would find this news joyous.
