How many times worse is your life right now compared to January 9, 2007?

>>83051283 (OP)
I was 7 years old in '07, dude. No one except the oldest of robots was actually an adult in that year. My life right now is substantially better because I'm not a dumb little kid.

>2007
my life has always been shit and I've always been alone but at that time at least I was happy with escapism. now it doesn't do anything anymore.

>>83051283 (OP)
moms dead
brother's lost his mind
working a hard job

it could be worse but i miss the past. playing metroid prime 2 on gamecube and flash games on andkon.com

>>83051283 (OP)
idk i was 2 so probably alright

>>83051283 (OP)
How the fuck did your life get worse after all this time? Piracy got better than actual stream services and computers are so fast they can easily last 5+ years no problem, no more slow internet and AI that you actually talk with. You give up all that for a slightly higher chance of getting laid? Is it really that important to you OP?

I live in eastern EU. Life back then was much worse because we were poor. I'm doing a lot better these days thanks to wages being 3x what they were in 2007.
Yea, smartphones and social media have enshittified society, for sure, but I've always been an introvert, so it hasn't affected me that much.

I was in high school in 2007 so my life was just generic high school shit. I'm neeting it up now it's pretty nice.

I was in my second year of college in 07, zoomie. We are here forever, don't you forget. Always watching, always observing.

>>83051283 (OP)
I was happy in 2007. 10 years old and I still didn't understand anything about the world

>>83051293
the internet didn't start with zoomers

Are you still here because you're a loser or because you just enjoy the social space? If you finished uni in 07 and have been investing ever since then I should be speaking to a millionaire. I finished uni in 2021 and didn't start learning about investing until 2025 sadly. I missed so many good years of line go up.

Well-aware of that. However, /r9k/ is skewed heavily towards younger people. That's not even an assumption it's just true.

>>83051381
Ooops poor reading comprehension. You said your second year of uni was 07 which means you probably graduated in 09 or 10. My bad.

>>83051283 (OP)
I was in middle school then, but already posting here. I'm in my 30s which is a little better since I'm not stuck getting bullied by my parents so that's a plus.

You're not that young anymore bud. And you're only getting older.

Currently
>weigh 70lbs less
>have money saved up
>have motor vehicles I wanted
>have job that pays well
>not angry with the world anymore
>more mentally stable
>no substance abuse
Overall I'm doing alot better desu, I feel 95% at peace with myself. Only thing i'm missing is an awkward femcel wife, 2 dogs and a house.

>>83051283 (OP)
no complaints. God is Greater. everything that happens is for my own good

>>83051452
>2 dogs
No cats? The fuck, bro?

>>83051580
Sadly I am allergic to cats but I don't hate them.
I would be cool with up to 2 cats but I would build them an insulated house in the backyard.

>>83051283 (OP)
I was not even conceived

>>83051283 (OP)

Bugmen have literally destroyed the world

>>83051283 (OP)
Smartphones led to fuck apps, which made inceldom normal for non-Chads.
Also, the 2008 cataclysm make it impossible for many autists to work at all.
I'd say that life is many times worse now than it was then.

POV: Me when I didn't exist yet.

My life is 10x better now, at the very least. The world around me has gone to hell, sure, but I do NOT miss being a kid.

1/9/2007

I had just graduated from college. I was living with my parents, waiting for summer internship to start up again and waiting to hear back about my grad school applications. Life was ok, generally.

Now, I have a wife and a decent job. It is hard to make better/worse comparisons when life is so different.

for how slow the board is that's not saying much

>>83051293
I was 12 but my life is substantially worse now
Adulthood sucks

inceldom was a thing before the term existed their was just more delusions you could make it. The pick up artist scene from the early 00s was just a group of chads getting rich on incels thinking their lack of game was why they never scored, then in morphed into Mgtow which was just chads again getting wealthy telling the incels how much better it is to never chase pussy to then fast forward to now where they are making money off of how angry and alone you are feeling.

Lost unwanted men is nothing new, it's just we have now learned we can make money off it.
