yea i can't stand this. im not so boomer i want every webpage to be like. times new roman white background and just using <p></p> and bulleted lists, but idk i cant even put a finger on what im not enjoying here. think it's possibly using scrolling as a way to try and force me to read through stuff. jokes on them, i can't read. not giving me the agency to click around into info that interests me drives me nuts, chances are im just gonna keep scrolling at 1000mph and eye scan until i see what im looking for virtually zero chance im going to sit through the experience of every carefully designed scroll-slide they've tried to present to me here.

Alright, I'll be the boomer and say that's what I want every webpage to be like. If you want to customize it you can bring your own CSS or download someone else's. The modern web is a nightmare of user-hostile time-thieving behavioral manipulation and our brains would be better off without it.
