I'm in your same age bracket (a bit older actually) and joined Internet mid-90's and there were already plenty of trolls and nasty, mean people. They were just fewer in absolute numbers because statistics.
Also, as youngsters, we probably tolerated those that were there much more - at least if the trolling wasn't directed at us - because teenagers are still learning life and emotions.
The whole concept of passive investing depends upon some large number of people timing the market. Just not you. It is predicated upon the concept that you are not good enough to make your own decisions. Usually that's true, but sometimes it isn't.
Some clocks also update over radio. Oregon Scientific used to make the best bedside atomic clock ever. Super simple, with the projector, was an atomic clock that updated automatically via radio and had a pleasant, crescendo alarm that would start off nice and get more aggressive. They don't make it anymore :/
