Took me from a young man to an old one. Do not recommend.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

i was descent looking 25 years ago, now people run away

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 11 points 3 hours ago

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

The 90s were much better.

1999/2000 was peak human civilisation. Its been downhill since.

Everything somehow keeps get better AND much worse at the same time.

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.

Interesting, edifying and mostly enjoyable!

Fucking. Terrible. Here’s to the next one being a redemption arc.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

A bit too Trumpy for my liking

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Pretty mid tbh

[–] RottenHeads@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Worked out pretty good for me. I spent most of it thinking i'd off myself before this, but things are just fine for now.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Peaked in 04

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Well, for one thing I stopped wetting the bed.

[–] SlicedPotato@feddit.dk 2 points 3 hours ago

Well, I was born into it, so I don't have anything to compare it with. But so far so good, got a degree and a job, so I'm good.
