All times are interesting, just in different ways.

I just watched the most recent Lower Decks, which involved many different realities, and I had the sobering thought that our Earth will be one that fell prey to greed and destroyed itself before we ever made it out into space. Fuck.
Millennials should get renamed as the interesting generation.
More Gen-X erasure. Par for the course.
Hey, you people killed hair metal and made rock rock again, I thank you for that.
Every generation must know its own suffering. I spit on the people who did this, and I curse the price I have to pay. But I’m making my peace with it, now you make yours.

As a Gen Xer, whatever.
Whatever.
I thought we were the Oregon Trail generation.
too late. the true fuckery hasn’t even begun in earnest yet.
For my time, at least, there’s been:
- Multiple proxy wars
- Tons of social/racial/sexual/child violence without sufficient changes in attitude/policy
- Massive terrorist attacks
- Pandemic that could have been reasonably reduced in intensity
- The disappearance of Taco Bell’s chili cheese burrito (in my neck of the woods, anyway)
Were all just a meta point in someone elses proxy war.
The disappearance of Taco Bell’s chili cheese burrito (in my neck of the woods, anyway
If it didn’t disappear, it’d be $6 anyway. Taco Bell isn’t what it used to be.
all truly awful and enough to ruminate on for a lifetime, but much like omar, trump is comin and he knows where all the buttons on the dash are this time. gird your nethers. i do not believe we’ve seen anything yet.
Points 1, 2, and 3 are things everyone has seen for millinia. Those are human nature at this point.
Taco Bell sadly died twenty years ago.
We did get to see Stardew Valley though. There are some good things.I was promised a brighter distopia!
… or Pizza Hut outside the US.
Great. Thank you for reminding me of that travesty of a movie. I take back any postive and/or hopeful comments I made about humanity.
This movie was the high points of all human aspirations, of all times and for all times.
As Janeway famously told to both Tuvix and Harry Kim,
Boring times breeds bullshit.
After the bullshit kicks up to eleven is when the hero generation rises up.
Then the hero generation makes sure life is the best it can be for thier children.
Those children get bored.(And somewhere during it all, there’s a generation that no one remembered to let into the house before dark.)
