Mostly this but also I always loved talking to strangers online
It's hard to explain, it's just neat.
Some of the most meaningful relationships I've ever cultivated were over the Internet. Call me a loser or whatever, but sometimes I feel more like myself behind a keyboard or mic than I do in real life.
It's sad to see the world becoming simultaneously more connected and isolated than ever at the same time. We use all this amazing communication tech to box ourselves off into our own little corners of the internet. Sad stuff.
Hope to see that change in the future but it doesn't seem likely.
For context I'm 31

The depressing thing is going onto a server, having it be full of teenagers, and realizing you're old enough that you should have had kids of your own the same age as they are.

We're in the middle of a demographic crisis. We need as many young people as possible to take care of the boomers flooding our retirement homes. We need more Americans (not immigrants) having children so we can have a workforce for the future that will keep us globally relevant and not fade out like Japan.

I had a feeling that you were old, from what you were saying.
>If I had kids they'd take care of me
The only time I think it's okay to expect help from young people is when it's your own kids. That's because you took care of them, and so it's like a cycle. If you don't have kids, then you'll have to take care of yourself. I'll have to take care of myself, and I don't ask anyone to have kids so they can waste their time on the worthless elderly.
Kids at least grow up, but old people don't, so they should not have the same level of care. It sounds harsh but it's how I feel as a person who current looks after the elderly. The old are the complete opposite of the young in terms of worth.

Well the issue is that zoomers learned that baby boomers have fucked over every generation that has come after them. So they really don't care for old people, and they're not smart enough to tell the difference so anyone who is old or getting old is considered a baby boomer.

the happiest ive ever been in my life was in college during COVID, sitting in a 1 bedroom apartment and ordering doordash every day. i did the bare minimum to get my degree, and spent 99% of my time playing and running tabletop RPGs over discord, and ERP'ing with degenerates on f-list, and playing h-games and CSGO and vanilla WOW private servers on my desktop

it was pure kino

Right, I suppose it could be worse. I listen to what happens to other people who lived my kind of life, and they end up killing people. I was taught to love other people when I was little and spent a few years at a Catholic school. You grow up and you no longer love other people, because you notice that they look different to the people who taught you. Their skin is darker.
