No more Saturday morning cartoons. Cyber bullying. Terrorism. Now pandemics. life was super chill during our childhoods and we had a decent amount of tech. <cite>bobaban posted [p:936283122] in If you'... [t:78509630]...</cite> <quote>For childhood that is.

Look at people born in the early 1900s. WW1, WWII, Spanish Flu(1 in 3 people in the world caught it), Great Depression, etc True, but those were typically events. For us, it's everyday. Maybe not the wars, but you get what I'm saying. --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM <cite>dave_is_slick posted [p:936284108] in If you'...

Biscotti 03/26/20 7:15:40 PM #8:	Gen X here; childhood was dirt poor but active and pretty much fear-free. Teenage years were cool, loved the 80s. 90s were also cool; warm smoky pubs, quietness, good mates. Life got shitty from around 2005. but that's just work, divorce, and the grind. The main thing is we didn't have social media, thank fuck. --- Ohhh, Elden Ring! <cite>Biscotti posted [p:936284570] in If you'...

It's not like carefree decades were numerous. They were actually quite rare. 1900s: Carefree, I guess, minus the Gilded Age shenanigans 1910s: WWI, Spanish Flu 1920s: Carefree, Roaring 20s 1930s: Great Depression, run-up to fascism 1940s: WWII 1950s-1990: Cold War, fear of nuclear war 1990s: Carefree 2001-present: 9/11, War on terror, current bullshit --- https://imgur.com/vDci4hD <cite>Ivynn posted [p:936284915] in If you'...
