Relative to what?
I think it fucking sucked, but I’m also not living in a “bad” country…yet.
Steady downhill slide from 2001 onward
Took me from a young man to an old one. Do not recommend.
i was decent looking 25 years ago, now people run away
At the time I didn’t think I was good looking, but compared to the guy staring me back in the mirror I was looking pretty good.
i can only watch in disbelief
can we restart and try again?
Nope, it’s hardcore, no respawns
Well, I’m so much better off financially than 25 years ago, mostly because I was a child back than…
A bit too Trumpy for my liking
was born in this century, pretty cool thing i must say as a former unborn person
I knew the internet and social media would change things.
Didn’t expect to have the stupidity of humanity laid quite so bare though.
We live in a world where wisdom is more important than ever. You can post two opposing views and get thousands of people agreeing with both sides and sometimes even data to back up both sides. So which do you pick when more people than you’ll meet in real life agree with both ends?
It’s frighteningly easy to fold yourself into an echo chamber now. And humans are hardwired to like easy.
Naive young me thought that with facts and education so freely and easily available, surely the internet would benefit everyone hugely!
Fucking. Terrible. Here’s to the next one being a redemption arc.
2001 happened and everything went downhill from there
I’m simultaneously posting anime tiddies and chatting with a dude named Allah on the Fediverse. First quarter of the 21st century is pretty solid. Can’t complain.
- I was born, wasn’t legally supposed to be born
- immediately cried a lot because 0 Y.O. me realized what life actually was and want my soul to go back to whereever I was before this
- fights with my older brother unfair, he was 5 years older than me, literally spawncamping
- childhood trauma
- moved to another country
- much racism/xenophobia
- no friends
- cry in the corner (this time I’m not a 0 Y.O. anymore so I get bullied a lot for this)
- it was the best of times, it was the worst of time, it was the times of trauma bonding with parents because they showed both love and hate simultaneously
- politics shit happens (2016)
- politics shit happens v2 electric boogaloo (2024)
- wait wtf I’m already an adult WTF, no no no, reverse this, it’s TOO SOON, go back, rewind this pls
- who the fuck am I, Identity Crisis v2, Electric Boogaloo
(actually, existing is quite interesting… considering I wasn’t even supposed to exist, I have so much stuff I still need to finish watching, so many browser tabs, so many poems, stories I wanna write, can’t quit this game yet)
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness.
In the last 25 years I’ve hit rock bottom and also experienced the happiest moments of my life. Can’t sum it up any better than Dickens.
Pretty mid tbh
