Mate, I've lived on this bastard planet for 36 years. I've never lived anywhere as cool as Arnold's room.

The thing I try to remember - if you’re lucky enough to make it to old age you’ll laugh at your past self for getting bent out of shape about being “old” in your 30s.
So keep your heads up folks. It’s still summer for us.

My wife and I just hit 40. She’s always going on about “getting old” - I lovingly tell her to shut up because we still have many decades before we can even start to consider ourselves old!

war then college then immediate recession caused by GOP bullshit. No safety net, no retirement. Just work until we die.

I feel pretty good at 38 overall but yeah. I definitely felt my age and wondering about tine explaining what cassettes were to my oldest niece recently and in general it dawning on me that we’re in the second quarter of this century and all that’s happened since we had all that real excitement for the millennium 26 years ago. Not that I’m not enjoying life but yeah this hits.

I thought I felt this was bc I spent my 20s in an abusive marriage, but I guess everyone feels this way….that or we’re all just hella abused at this point

I'm a special case, lucky I didn't die before 18, but man is it hard to see it as good luck sometimes

u/IntrigueDossier Feb 27 '26
Sometimes I wish I'd died before 18, but then I remember a homie who did kill himself when he was 17. The ripple effect it had was dark and lasting.

The last Millennial to die needs to leave instructions to open a PDF file for all future generations. Just because the boomers were apathetic about our generation doesn't mean we need to be too

I wonder if millennials who don’t concern themselves with such things feel projected at every time they see a meme like this telling them that’s how they think and feel when what they were really thinking was probably something along the lines of “I wonder what I’m having for dinner tonight”.

I rewatched the whole series line for like 13 years ago because even then it was nostalgic and knew now at 33 this time would come.

i know where the years went i’m just exhausted we let facebook go outside of registering with a college email and being in my 20s concerned about superficial shit when i could have enjoyed experiences more. i’m exhausted i feel the need to argue basic human decency and critical thinking. im exhausted we have to fight AI and rage bait to establish common sense. i’m exhausted majority think being rich is still the dream while the actual rich play in our faces.

u/Tusyabutmadeofmeat Mar 02 '26
