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.
can we restart and try again?
Nope, it's hardcore, no respawns
Steady downhill slide from 2001 onward
i can only watch in disbelief
A bit too Trumpy for my liking
Well, I'm so much better off financially than 25 years ago, mostly because I was a child back than...
2001 happened and everything went downhill from there
Relative to what?
I think it fucking sucked, but I'm also not living in a "bad" country...yet.
was born in this century, pretty cool thing i must say as a former unborn person
Very varying. It took me from an insecure teen to an insecure teen in an adult body. It also took me from an unemployed and poor dork to an employed dork.
This is not the future we envisioned.
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
(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)
The 90s were much better.
1999/2000 was peak human civilisation. Its been downhill since.
90s where gay marriage was illegal in the US and where lynchings of black americans were still socially acceptable 👀
I'm in the UK and will concede that the gay marriage thing should have been done much earlier.
But the other thing....yeah we don't do that shit
Fucking. Terrible. Here’s to the next one being a redemption arc.
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.
