like what did you dream for in the future or wanted as a job for when you became an adult. what did you end up getting stuck with?
i dident really have a dream as a kid, those were the years when i messed around and learned. now im in high school struggling with life and being paranoid for dumb reasons.
If all it took was a terrible explosion to discourage you, probably good you never took that route.
“Yeah, I explode all the time bro, twice before breakfast this morning and I didn’t even flinch - get over it, you baby!”
That’s what you sound like…
The challenger explosion was devastating, especially for kids and especially in the regan 80s that prepped them for nothing except the propagandist’s patriotic successful version of that moment - a moment many watched live. Kids weren’t educated about the potential, realistic worst car scenario that could come of that moment.
I didn’t mean it that seriously, but I can see it wasn’t taken as lightly as I hoped. Sorry, I should have done better.
As a kid I understood that space travel was currently extreme sport and how damn brave (or crazy) one had to be to risk ones life for science in that way. But that was in the 90s and not in US. We were taught about it early. Still didn’t end my hope for colonies on Mars soon.
Appreciate you owning that, the difference between Reddit and Lemmy demonstrated. Good day to you.
