Oxycontin crisis, satanic panic, Columbine and the proliferation of the modern school shooting crisis, all the tobacco execs lying to congress about nicotine being addictive and facing no consequences, and the open and acknowledged deployment of weapons of war in space thus opening us up to a brand new version of the Cuban missile crisis… In Space (space space space)
Oh we didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world’s been turning.
Don’t forget all the climate stuff happening exactly as predicted like twenty years ago.
i thought they did those predictions in the 70s
Yup, like he said twenty years… Oh, wait… I’m too old…
And we need to start calling it, sucking up economics.
Also to add to your list.

Don’t forget the return of fascism 😮💨
Purely as an excuse to post this video, Fascism never really went away… https://youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0
Yeah, Y2K was really tough man. Just don’t know how I made it.
Y2K was a nightmare for us GenX. Months of overtime and late nights with lots of contractors coding 24/7. I hope I never have to go through that again.
I also hope I don’t live to see the year 10,000.
I changed jobs in late 99, so I got to go through all the Y2K bullshit in one job, then do it again in the new one.
One dude at my old job had his panties in a bunch because he said all the U.S. Navy ships were vulnerable and he said WW3 was going to start, but he was generally an idiot anyway, so that was par for the course.
In the new job I had to certify that DEC impact printers were Y2K certified. Which way basically me putting stickers on all of them saying they were certified because they weren’t smart enough to care what the date was.
My boss at the new job required us to be onsite on January 1st, which was kind of a drag, but that’s the way it goes. There was nothing for us to do. He stopped at a deli on the way in and picked up an absolutely fantastic pile of food for us, so it just became a casual brunch and we just kind of hung around eating and chatting until he was satisfied that nothing was going to go wrong.
I’d kill to know what the deli was. I was too young and stupid to save the name.
Even as a teenager I was pretty crystal-clear on the fact that anybody who knew anything about how a computer worked also knew that Y2K was not the cataclysmic society-ending event that the fucking braindead news media were making it out to be at the time.
It wasn’t because everybody worked and put in what was required to fix it.
Any company with old code was in danger. Every Bank everything had to work their asses off to get all these changes made and test it. Still some things failed but it could have been much much worse if people didn’t panic and put in the time to fix it
Don’t forget we’re hated by baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Z and younger.
We’re also expected to keep everything working while also treated like we’re the most entitled.
Who gives a shit what boomers think, genx literally are incapable of giving a shit about anything and genz are in their 20’s, what the fuck you care what a 20-something thinks about you? That’s the glory of your 40’s: you’re fat, old and don’t give a crap
boomers are millenial parents. everyone cares what their parents think.
gen x are gen z parents.
Genx to boomer parents. No. I do not give a shit what my parents think. Chiefly because i am 48 years old.
Yeah well there is something wrong with you then. The vast majority of people care very much what their family thinks of them.
Do you regularly have ‘wanting to please your parents’ define your actions as an adult?
You’re supposed to have your own moral scaffolding and motivation in place by then, it’s a rather large part of growing upMy parents are dead. But pretty much everyone I have never known who has them be alive, very much considered how their actions will impact their parents admiration for them, yes.
No, you’re not. You’re supposed to inherent from your parents/culture/community. If you ‘build your own scaffolding’ you’re a outlier and likely detached from your community.
Ah yes, who gives a shit that we’re divided on fundamental levels like age?
What does it matter that young people hate older people on the simple basis of age? For that matter, why does it matter if someone is: racist, a misogynist, a misandrist, homophobic, transphobic? Who cares!

Mate you need to get off the outrage pipe and go outside.
A flippant comment about the subtle art of not giving a fuck or living your life under fear of how others perceive you did not warrant that response.
Because it’s one more thing for millennials to whine about.
Don’t forget we’re hated by baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Z and younger.
What? Why? Everyone seems to like me lol. You’re telling me they actually secretly hate me?
Hold up. I’m GenX. I only hate Boomers.
I got nothing against millennials or younger. I even like whatever they’re calling the new generation with their 67 rotted brains. They’re simple folk, but hilarious.
I’m glad to hear that. Boomers are the ones who destroyed everything for everyone else.
Don’t forget the current climate apocalypse. That will literally end everything
Don’t forget all the forever wars.
You just triggered me. ToT
Still easier than people born 100 years ago.
I was rippin’ Rust a few years ago, especially after reading Stephen Markley’s The Deluge and having a bit of a breakdown. Then I was
Then the anxiety counter got to 999,999 and ticked back over to 000,000 and broke, so now I’m just sorta
getting more weird and whimsy instead of more anxious.
I don’t have any kids of my own. I feel sorry for the other people’s kids but I wish them all the best in the cannibal wars to come.
Like we can afford to smoke.
Not to mention the many “once in a lifetime” nature events that have happened as well.
Yeah, as a fresh 44 year old, I’d really love to have a boring decade where nothing much happens. Just a bit of a breather before the inevitable climate wars. I’ve lived through so many ‘once in a lifetime’ events, it’s not even funny.
Can’t be. He’s smoking.
They took that away from us too.
I know that it is one of the most senselessly self destructive acts that one can commit, and that many people think it smells bad, and that it is a representation of class struggle and poor education, but I miss when all of the Cool people that didn’t give a fuck hung out outside of a workplace swapping stories whilst killing themselves at similar rates.
I guess people could stand around and look at their phone for fifteen minutes part way through their shift, but it doesn’t hold the gravity of wincing against a sheet of sleet and recalling the harrowing tale of the Nor’ Easter of ‘95. Or that one time Sheila kicked you out of the apartment for No Reason during the Nor’ Easter of '95.
If I see someone out on a 15 they have their headphones on because they have their reality so bespokely edited that their world is filled with carefully selected music or bantering friends they will never meet.
The shrooms are wearing off, so I should stop yelling at clouds soon.
Add next year’s “biggest il niño in 500-1000” years to the list
FYI, there’s going to be another Y2K.
Can we please just handle thing one y at a time.
So, when do we get… A break? Like did Karma get really high and forgot to help us out or? Do we get that peaceful life yet? Or are we doomed to forever being the witnesses and victims to this horrible time line?
The AMOC is collapsing, we get nothing and like it…
