haha, I came at it from a bloat is what slows PCs down because it fills them, and now we are using it for filling and slowing down our minds. I'm not native (I'm Hungarian) so I didn't even realise at first that that's the origin of the word.
I wonder how many other things I learned in reverse order. There are probably a lot of words that will completely change meaning with new generations.
Anyways I kind of fixed myself by just getting bored lol. I took a day or two focusing on different things (brain dead games and school). Now I feel as good as new :D (although I need to get more sleep)
