Peak humanity. It was the best man.
It was all downhill from there.

Jesus Christ that last pic looks IDENTICAL to my grandmother’s house. It’s not, but the kitchen tiles, wooden chairs, dirty beige carpet, cabinets and kids sitting sockless on the floor. That’s EXACTLY how it was when I was young. I can almost smell my great nana making pizzelle in the kitchen for us kids to eat for breakfast. Fuarrrrk.

bro stfu with the cope, life is always better the later you were born. this is like someone saying atari or elvis or black and white films were the best, I feel bad for you...
I enjoyed it growing up, but chit nowadays is better, you can buy/rent chit from home, its way better quality and you don't have to worry about it being sold out
I enjoy phones and technology, you have a question about something? google it instead of reading random books You're driving to some place, no need to break out a map or print out mapquest instructions...
Music, well I brought mixtapes/CDs, who do you want to listen to lol

well life definitely was a lot more laid back, back then. At least depending on where you were brought up. Growing up in the days of Blockbuster and Hollywood Video I would always ask my parents to take me to the video store and I can count on one hand the times they said no. Then Netflix comes along and suddenly everyone talks about how they were so inconvenienced having to drive down to the video store. Same goes for a lot of every day errands now; people think going to the grocery store is a big hassle all of a sudden so they are hoping for grocery delivery or maybe ordering DoorDash because they are too lazy/autistic to sit in the drive-thru. That kind of mentality didn't exist back then.

That's what I'm sayin. Every service these days seems to be centered around minimizing social interaction, contributing to even less connection. People are getting so lazy and used to instant gratification it's ridiculous. Yeah you'd read tons of random books but you learned a lot along the way. Breaking out a map and learning how to get around used our innate critical thinking skills. I cringe when I meet someone who runs their life through apps and chit. So many of my younger friends barely know street names. Chit is ridiculous. You see how that poster feels about these tasks at his big age...imagine how zoomers would feel if they had to actually call up pizza hut for pizza. It's only gonna get worse.
Only thing I think is cooler is that you can learn anything on YouTube or make money from your living room. Except 90% of people use it to bs or avoid human interaction. We clearly weren't ready for it. Just look at how much we regressed in just 14 years since social media blew up (2012) or since the iPhone in 2007.Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

It was the best man.
Honorable mention goes to the early 2000s.The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

that's what scares me. The continuous market trend of "innovation" by increasing convenience factors has reached the point where people are just inept and lazy. Zoomers would rather order pizza through a phone app not because of convenience, but because they are scared to talk on the phone. My HR manager has said she has had applicants not want to do phone interviews and instead want to do facetime or something. I'm not sure why a phone call is so intimidating or what.
and on the subject of pizza, I don't even order delivery; I just get in my car and go pick it up. It may be some boomer mentality I have but I feel like in a lot of situations, with a lot of menial things, you should just fukin do em.

Yeah that chitty act sticks out in your mind for sure not just the violent act but the way his wife pretty much ordered him like saying to your dog "sik em sik em" amd he did that on national TV
With that said though anyone is prone to a mistake in judgement if he had just came out and apologized the next day and actually meant it pretty sure it would have been no big deal by now but he had to play the I'm hard role."it takes a wise man to know when he is in error and a noble man to admit to it"
