We watched the second plane hit live on a shitty CRT in my Geography class. Shit was insane. I'm so damn tired...

I just joined the Bundeswehr (the german army) a couple of weeks before 9/11. I still remember that I thought "You idiot really have managed to join the military right at the beginning of WWIII..."
Don't forget Columbine. People always leave that out, but as far as historical milestones that shaped how awful American society has become, it was a big one.
I can't remember why but I didn't go to school that day. I remember finding out because I was arguing with my brother about what movie to watch, then complaining to my mom, and her freaking out going "You're complaing about this when there's a national crisis going on?!"
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'm 40
I’m 42 and this is deep.
Aye gather round elder Millennials, our watch has begun
Back in ye day we hath this magical place called “limewire” it could brick your mothers gateway computer without a moments notice.
Heh, I don't think that's as old as you're expecting; I'm 35 and I, too, installed Limewire on the family computer (and probably downloaded so much malware…).
Things are gonna get worse before they get better, so buckle up.
They also become worse before they become the worst
Isnt it wild that the nothing ever happens chud has gone from /pol/ to mainstream. Its always so jarring to see people post the exact same stuff open nazi's post.
Not saying you're a nazi or anything, just rambling about how memes spread through communities.
Toss in an exploding space shuttle and the fall of the Berlin wall and you get Gen X.
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.
Some of us proto-millenials were already on active duty in the military on 9/11
That shit was insane
Ah, but we have the benefit of never being able to buy a house, and having the same minimum wage for 16 years.
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.

Elementary school for me, I think 2nd grade, but yeah
I was in kindergarten, so i get all of this before i'm even 30.
I'd rather getting all out of the way before I'm 30, so I can rule the wastelands.
