    Some kids will believe these memes. Won’t save a dime and end up poor as shit. Then they can make memes and do it to another generation. Its self fulfilling.

    For my generation it was adults saying shit like

    “smoking kills? Yea right that’s why my uncle Carl lived until 80 smoking a pack a day.”

      Yeah, people growing up the 80’s heard about nuclear war and ozone layer and acid rain and lots of other stuff. People freaked out then too and lived recklessly thinking the future was lost. But most people just lived their lives and didn’t go live in a bunker. That’s what’s going to happen here.

      Life just sort of happens, even when the doomer memes get upvoted to the front page

        Yup and life happens fast. You really only got like a good 15 years to “sorting hat” a good position in our society. Success is determined pretty fast between grades 10 to whenever we all finish school. If you’re in an area with advanced classes then its even earlier.
