dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Honestly 30s are better than your 20s. In my 20s I had a lot of anxiety about myself, my worth, and who I was.

By my 30s I think I had really proved to myself that I was worth something, and was more at peace with who I was, and also just generally more established so I didn't care what other people thought of me.

Yeah same. 30s are better than 20s. More self confidence. Better pay. People finally give up asking you when you're going to have kids.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I feel the same way

Why do they have to make it so hard to be a human being. I just want to live in a community and have a job that is halfway fulfilling and have a girlfriend

But no we all need to be miserable all the fucking time

WASTE ME 30S

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

I'm 25 now and I'm trying to sort my shit out but I'm afraid I'm doomed no matter what. If you don't have a stable foundation in your teens (and I didn't), your 20's are going to suck hard.

Queer temporality trans-ferret

I wish I could hold down a stable job for once

I haven’t enjoyed a single era of my life

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

i guess i was lucky in that i enjoyed my childhood

i knew that it was never going to be as good as it was even while i was a kid so I dreaded growing up, and i was completely right

My 30s are better than my 20s. The latter I spent in the wake of the 2008 crash moving from one underemployment situation to another.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

My 20s were kinda solid, but certainly limited by money and a lack of job opportunities. I wanted to travel the world, or at least the US. Still, I had fun where I could.

My 30s have been markedly better than my 20s and I'm not even halfway through them

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Sometimes I beat myself up about squandering opportunities in high school and college but then I remember all the shit I got to do while focusing on my bands and I do not regret that shit one bit. I didn’t realize how unusual it was to have social hobby experiences outside of adult-planned-and-chaperoned extracurriculars. I got myself into some situations that could have easily gone way worse but it was a good time.

So accurate it’s scary

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

me, but then repeat that for the 30s as well
