Yeah. I've been noticing this too. My close friends are either herding babies, slammed with college, or on the same work-sleep-repeat schedule as I am.
I hate the work-sleep-repeat schedule, but i don't have the energy to do anything else. Even when i take time off it just changes to wallow_in_selfpity-wallow_in_selfhate_for_doing_nothing_all_day-sleep-repeat

I yarn. And then I feel bad for 'wasting' my precious free time on something I enjoy because it isn't 'constructive'. ARG. Brains. Can't live with 'em, lose sentience without 'em.

So I am wondering if this is just a me thing, or if this is more of a universal thing: is anyone else experiencing a sort of "internet loneliness", where internet-based personal interactions seem to be decreasing?

Yes.

Yes.  And it's not that everyone just stopped caring or got mad or any shit like that.

Everyone just got so busy.

Pretty much. Lack of leisure time is the modern disease.

Well, you can't blame THEM. Poor people are preventing them from getting rich on their own merits, because the cream only rises to the top when conditions are ideal.

When conditions are ideal, I am 22 years old and in fantastic shape, and my eyes are still in factory condition.  And my brain isn't all scarred up.

This isn't going to happen.  Neither are the "ideal conditions" demanded by libertarians and/or communists.

Yeah, but you went and got old, Roger. It's not like that's something you have no control over, like the fact that the world refuses to pave them a gold path to wealth and glory.

The world will look back in awe at their accomplishments.

Which they will commence just as soon as the time is right and conditions permit, of course.

Just as soon as we remove all legislation.

The fact that regulations haven't stopped other people from getting rich MAY seem to imply that the libertariantards aren't the rugged individualists that mommy told them they were, but that's because you are a socialist and can't see these things clearly.

You know, I might have to start using the quip, "Well aren't you just the main fucking character of the story now." when appropriate.
