And yet we are the coddled, snowflake generation xD make it make sense. I feel worse for the younger generations, tbh. At least we got to spend our childhoods and teens relatively carefree, if a bit aimless and with the feeling of not being needed in society.

Young people and kids today are dealing with constant existential crisis. I guess the upside to that is that they won't have to deal with this aimlessness that we dealt with, but maybe it's better to feel aimless than to carry the future of our planet on your shoulders before the age of 10.

In the end, we are all dealing with the same problems right now and we can only do our best.

Chaos is a Ladder.

But its a ladder that periodically collapses when you're halfway up and leaves you splayed out on the sidewalk in horrible pain and with five digit hospital bills.

Add a few more things for Millennials who were born in the 80’s.

“All you need to do to succeed is go to college!”

“Cool, how do I afford it?”

“Well yeah looks like the guy your mom married makes too much money for you to deserve any form of help. Try working more!”

“Cool, I spent the last few years burning myself out for a degree while working full time and supplementing with sex work. I’ll have nightmares about a motel for the rest of my life, but now I can have a full time job and work towards owning a house now? I even promised to be a teacher, that’s a job with a huge shortage right and I shouldn’t have just grabbed a cheap online BA because there are no requirements anymore?”

“Uhh, lol no we actually want unqualified babysitters. Better than being a gross tranny.”

The fact that my ex husband spent my thirtieth birthday with someone he gave $5k too, three months before kicking me out and emptying my bank account, the fact that I live in a state where even if I were cis the resources for survivors of DV are non existent, the fact that I don’t know if my drivers license is valid anymore….

I’m not even thirty three and I’m exhausted. I can deal with my life sucking or the world sucking, but not both at the same time.

I feel this. My beard and hair have about half as much grey as the meme and I'm still a few years from 35. I want off Mr Bones' Wild Ride

Y'all too young to remember the aftermath of 9/11?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I was sent to the other end of the planet because of it, I remember.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I was counting 9/11 as the catastrophic event.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think they are counting right now as the 3rd, but we can't count this one because we might not survive.
