I'm so fucking over this shit yall. Don't forget the corporate takeover and surveillance dystopia created by quite possibly the biggest dork losers that are alive. What the actual fuck? Need a genocide. Check. Civil rights collapse? Check. Financial meltdown? Check. Pandemic that kills millions? Check. Collapse of the dollar for shitcoin scams? Check pending. Terrorist attacks that convince your country for 20 years of wars? Check. No more war excuses, and need more? No worries, we'll just recycle the same one from 25 years ago because y'all couldn't do shit about it then either. They have nukes so we have to attack.

Now, go be a good citizen and participate in some blind nationalism and virtue signaling with your pledge of allegiance to an inanimate object while simultaneously and intentionally starving brown kids by the thousands.

Can't a giant EMP come and save us? I'm so tired.

I'd rather getting all out of the way before I'm 30, so I can rule the wastelands.

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

I guess millennials forgot the 90s where ww3 was just lingering around the corner.

Toss in an exploding space shuttle and the fall of the Berlin wall and you get Gen X.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

2 exploding space shuttles

[–] Welt@lazysoci.al 1 points 27 minutes ago

Need Another Space Agency

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Born in 83.

Was there for the shuttle, remember the Berlon wall and the first Iraq war pretty well, was a senior in high school for 9/11.

Meanwhile, on 9/11 my sister was at her office working her new job she got after graduating college.

At Enron.

Elementary school for me, I think 2nd grade, but yeah

[–] Killer@lemmy.world 1 points 10 minutes ago

I was in kindergarten, so i get all of this before i'm even 30.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 hours ago

Ah, but we have the benefit of never being able to buy a house, and having the same minimum wage for 16 years.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

My daughter was in kindergarten and saw a man fall to his death on 9-11. Its stuck with her. Nothing was done to those assholes who allowed this to happen.

[–] walktheplank@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You mean your government and their Saudi money men?

No. You should be able to figure out who I meant now. Right?

Our leadership has been trying to benefit the rich for decades, not you. Please resist.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Three recessions. People always forget the dotcom bubble that was made worse by the market going down after 9/11.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Pre 9/11 you could also get like 10% interest on a savings account.

It was AP European history, but, ya, wtf this has been wild

Biology for me. I remember watching the towers collapsing when the teacher turned the TV off and said we should just go about our day normally.

Golgi apparatus. (Was that a person jumping I saw before?) Lysosomes.

OJ Simpson murdered his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

One of OJs lawyers was Robert Kardashian, Kim Kardashian's father.

US President Bill Clinton impeached over abusing his power by getting a blowjob in the Oval Office from an intern. Then lying about it.

Y2K. Remember that?

AIDS.

And in my country, a coup, a toxic syndrome, a housing bubble, terrorism, ...

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

It's amazing to me the strides in medicine that have helped reduce the deaths associated with HIV in such a short time. I remember that shit was like a 1 to 2 year mortality rate, and people are now able to live much much longer.

I have a much lesser ww3 vibe than when the Ukraine thing started. It hasn't even crossed my mind but it keeps popping up everywhere. Perhaps I'm missing something crucial here.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago

Perhaps I’m missing something crucial here.

For me, the crucial bit here is political ideology vs. religion. Russia invading Ukraine is purely political in my opinion, whereas the Israel/Iran conflict can't really be separated from religion. Might be spitballing here, but religious fanatics might be more extremist (willing to escalate war to defend their beliefs) than political fanatics. I also think USA's historical defense of Israel is in play here, whereas USA's involvement with Ukraine hasn't really been a thing.
