What ever happened to the good old days? 20 years ago was like living on a different planet

>>519515947 (OP)
it's been longer than that

the milkman, the paperboy... even MTV

Oh well, guess its time to redefine what "family" means in this brave new world

Everything is globalised now, so everything is massively competitive, people who can't compete are falling further and further behind.

The competition has increased in every possible way. Not just high end things that people care about, but even on the lowest of the lowest end of things, like playing video games online.

Back in the day your competition for everything was locked to your location, now it's unlocked, and your competition is the entire planet.

Everyone has access to tons of information, making it near impossible to have an information edge over other people. For example, your dad needs to be the President of the United States so you can LONG/SHORT the market knowing he's going to be posting something online that will cause panic selling or fomo buying.

Basically everything is INSANELY competitive and you're depressed, scared, alone, and watching yourself get dominated and wrecked by the successful people, and your hormones are being effected due to your feelings causing Low T which is hurting your ability to compete even more.

The world you grew up in no longer exists

Those good old days hit the wall.

>>519515947 (OP)
All I know is today was the first day I've ever even heard of the word "Diwali", and the implications of there being this coordinated push to make it a thing this year is wholly demoralizing.

>good old days
The "good old days" fallacy is the flawed belief that a past era was better, simpler, or happier than the present, often due to nostalgia and "rosy retrospection" which selectively recalls positive memories while downplaying or forgetting negative ones. This fallacy is also known as the "golden age fallacy" and can be fueled by romanticizing the past through a filtered or curated lens.

You're absolutely right. The Joos stole your foreskin and just put you on another planet.now you are doomed to repeat it all over and over again until you find your foreskin. Way she goes bruh

You mean the days when only North America / Europe / and Japan had access to PlayStation 1 - while the rest of the world lived in extreme poverty?

How would the foreskin help us in that situation?

Whores sure did clean up nice back then.

>>519515947 (OP)
these are the good days.
It could be nice to spend a week twenty years ago, but, would want to get back here after that.

Twenty years ago, if I wanted to drink, for example, I'd go out. Today I just get out of bed, start drinking and chat with the entire world.

Twenty years ago, tho, it was nice to sit in a bar, ask a woman next to me
>can I test how much your tiddies weigh?
They always said yes.

Those days are long gone anon.

Today, in a bar, they would still say yes, while looking at you for two seconds while scrolling their phone.

Total jeet death is the only solution.

You guys think zoomies and gen alpha will refer to 2025 as "the good old days" 20 years from now?
>remember skibidi toilet season 1?

Imagine being so retarded you get sucked up into competing with literal retards who were programmed by influencers. It's quite easy to succeed when you know everyone is doing the same thing, literally do something different.

Maybe your country has turned to shit or something. 20 years ago was not that different from today AFAIAC.

Nope. It was better by any measurable standard. T. Born in 1985.

>>519516329
so what do they call it when its actually true?

>>519516329
It's measurable and verifiable that there's a big gap in buying power across the last 3 generations. The good old days really were.

>The "good old days" fallacy is the flawed belief that a past era was better, simpler, or happier than the present,
True, it wasn't simpler, it was way more complex, today is turbo easymode, but it's not better or happier, it's way worse today.

>>519518984
We have to go back

>>519519103
What was more complex about it?
Technology has been used to introduce additional burdens, rather than relieving us of the burdens of the past.

>>519519390
>What was more complex about it?
'complex' means less instant gratification. thats all he means

>>519519127
yea, also forgot to mention how cheap solid old cars were. and everything felt cleaner and safer, even in the city. not many random psychos around. locals would kick them out of town or police would do it. knew all the other kids from the local schools when we worked all the hardware store jobs and ice cream parlor and local burger and bar places.

knew owners (often local parents), all that. would run random errands if need be. "oh hey anon, Sherry was looking for you, I think she biked to then [burger place] after her shift with the others." "sure, thanks.. want me to bring u back something?"

now every fucking place is just run by random adults from out of town, and in cities it's jeets and shit from not even this country.

the halcyon days of gameboy color and dragonball Z VHS tapes at target are just nostalgia life has always been this way.
playing 64 games and printing out walkthroughs for the water temple, 5$ being enough for a walk to the store for a godzilla or wildcats comic- a mountain blackberry clearly canadian, and full size bag of munchos- its all just in your head.
the reality it is was all nigger tranny jews smearing acid and poison on you since the universe was created.
everything good and true was a dream.

end of the 90s was huge hype for it here. and desu 90s blends into early 00s a lot. for me high school and college. even tho 9/11 sucked, things kinda stayed comfy until about 03/04.

>>519519624
FB destroyed it all.

It wasn't just Facebook, I think the Iphone is more to blame than anything, for giving every random idiot 24/7 internet access in their pocket.

>>519519870
But, who could have known?
Idea was good, tho, Mark said

it sucks how the tech started off good. my university was one of the first to get it, and I was in grad school. was all for finding girls in my uni to fuck or from nearby unis, for also finding parties, and for uploading party and random goofy pics from those sony digital cameras that fit in your pocket.

iPhone was the beginning of the end but that first year or two of it was neat... fast texting and maps on it were cool. early foursquare was fun. but flip phones and sliders before the iPhone were more than good enough for shit.

>>519519870
Yup. The internet used to be a male dominated sphere, with maybe a few savvy females who mingled in, but knew not to rock the boat too much to not lose their audience for whatever blog they were on.
Enter fagbook and the iToddlers. Attention seeking whormie (whore/normie) females were given instant and unfettered web access to farm for likes and reactions from thirsty niggers and normie men who were now beginning to populate the web.
You no longer had to have any web navigation knowledge or prowess, you just had to go to fagbook and yuck it up with your normie friends, and now we have boomers liking and sharing ai slop because they're retards and women making OF and showing their buttholes for $4.99/ month. God damn Zuckerkike and God damn that AIDS riddled niggerfaggot Tim Cook.

>>519520291
I hear.
>A finn invented IRC and other finn created Linux
No bad reputation from these..

So, who's to blame, after all?

>>519520328
but to be fair, early fb was just for unis and then high schools. and there wasnt even the wall. the wall got people to be social. was great with no news feed. private messaging was ok when they added it. the feeling of waking up with a hangover, checking fb, seeing a bunch of the +1 red things for new friends, seeing hot chicks adding u from thr party, and some even sent pokes.... then messaging them and meeting up with one that evening..

if fb had just stayed like that...

>>519519456
see friend walking on road. stop my $500 dodge dart. talk for a minute. cars drive around and wave. it's mostly people you know. gets in. each have $10. decide to buy a dime bag, get free pizza from friend working, then go to movie theater arcade for a bit. go to mall check out new deck at zumiez. see cuties walking around, they join us for smoking out of pop can in woods. drive back to their place, we end up making out with cuties. Go back to friends place to play smash bros.
>we were there. we can't go back. but we can make sure the future is brighter for them.

>>519520647
I had so many days just like this. people who say that it's just rose tinted are retarded. there is no sense of community anymore. and there are states that arent even full of american outsiders, but are something like 30% foreign nationals. ffs even fast food was better back then for the times we werent hitting up local spots or copping free food from our buds working at one.

Welcome to reality, where quality of life is measured by having access to what you need.

I remember it was considered peak decadence, they were wrong

>>519517210
on what metric? when i was young we were bored and climbed trees and threw rocks. pedos and serial killers reigned. parents gave no fucks and were drunk driving. 3 TV channels. peeps died of TB and AIDS was rampant. barely even a craft beer and the supermarket pizza was cardboard. no easy Asians to root, only Monopoly or Hungry Hippy to play. If you were a nerd like you would be then it was beatings for you and a lot of solitary crying with no one to give any fucks let alone an SSRI.
