I used to want to live in interesting times as a child. I was incredibly naive.

8 more years until 45. what a ride so far! So much more to see :cat_with_wry_smile:

I'm 26 and I've been alive for all that too. Felt the repercussions in school, and the workforce. I'm a byproduct myself, I dropped out of college during Covid. Did you have diseases that weren't STIs in college? Then welcomed to the worst job market with mass layoffs and a system dripping in ineptitude. People with degrees can't get jobs they studied and prepared for, college grads can't get minimum wage jobs. My generation has the lowest spending power of any previous generation, with the greatest cheeto-made inflation skyrocketing prices.

Tldr This isn't a stick measuring competition, just to say everyone is feeling bad rn and that's not OK. It's a class war, not a culture war. If only I could convince my parents that classes aren't just for schools

Yep and us forgotten fucked over gen Xrs w all that, plus witnessing good ol days of analog, actual freedom and on the sidelines while Reagan dismantled our democracy.

Well all true, but also we have certain hamster online, nazi comeback and orange pedo show daily... worthy? I hope You will live in funny/active times...

and 2 job -pocalypses first was driven by job sites posting jobs that often time dont hire people, and now AI driven screen to increase it.

Millennials had nothing to do with Y2K except hear about it. The older generations were the ones that actually made sure it didn't impact everyone like it was being predicted.

Unsure what the generation was but I suppose the poor bastards who served in WWI and then came home to be hit with the Great Depression shortly after felt similarly. And they didn't even have memes! (Or, for the most part, warm showers.)

"All before" 45? That math doesn't check.
