I can still remember good old Mr. Fender who ran the corner grocery store
Oh, he'd stroll down the aisle with a big friendly smile
And he'd say, "Howdy", when you walked in the door
Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
I don't know why I set fire to his place
Oh, I'll never forget the day, I bashed in his head
Well you should've seen the look on his face

People who talk about "the good old days" are people who peaked in high school
People who talk about the good old days are probably in their peak at the moment. Problem is, being at your peak fucking sucks these days, so the lazy days with no responsibilities are better viewed.

Most people these days living through their best years still ain't getting a house or anything close to stability until retirement is around the corner, which opens up a whole new can.

I mean, even if youre successful in adulthood, you can still be reminiscent of your childhood days. The days when the most responsibility you had was getting your homework done (maybe having a chore or 2 you had to do every now and then) and didnt have to be concerned with anything money related. And when you always had more opportunities to hang out with friends without mixed work schedules getting in the way of things. Where you had a lot more free time in general.

Granted I dont know why anyone would miss stuff like the crappy school lunches, but I dont think theres anything wrong with missing your childhood years.

It's always gonna be hard to split nostalgia from reality.

Some young adult in 2049 is gonna be daydreaming about how good the 2020's were lmao.

But some adult in the 1990's is probably gonna ltao at us.

Yet at the same time, we really did live through a crazy accelerated evolution in technology. 2D to 3D, to HD. Landlines and payphones to cell phones, and desktops and laptops to smart phones and tablets. Pokemon on a Gameboy to Pokemon on a phone (yeah not the same but still GO is still huge). Telecommunications and post getting largely replaced by internet-based mediums. Social media, distribution of media etc. We went from 8 tracks to CDs to MP3s and the controversy over rights and protections of musical property to nobody stopping us from just playing YT for free (ish) in our cars. There are 1st world cities that didn't exist before. The knowledge that has become more common has turned information distribution into a free-thought warzone this involves politics, science, social norms, education, labor expectations, all forms of consumption. Videos of faraway places can provide a more authentic lens in such a life to the point it can spoil the traditional experience of discovery. The evolution of taste has blown up into new extremes. Culinary options and the types of facilities available to us are much different.

The only thing that really stayed the same was GameFAQs until now as we here will cease to exist altogether by the doing of our new overlords. This place is a product of a fond past time. Getting into it with someone in the early 2000's over a trivial topic (videogames) felt more compelling. Like there was a motivation to do the dial up shit etc just to keep going back and forth because it was something to do outside of playing the video game itself as opposed to consuming outside media for the expanded experience.

That being said, I think my most insane wish in life would be to experience the early 90's as a well-off adult for a year. I would've liked to know what it was like to be independent, as opposed to a kid/toddler stuck between the same 4 walls for most days at the babysitter. I'd like to know what romanticism was like compared to today, and what people were motivated to persist with. See what people saw, experience the stuff people reminisced about but I only saw from afar.

I remember at my middle school in 2004-2006, lunch was a choice of hot dog or pizza with French fries and a vanilla or chocolate milk shake

There were healthier options too but there was no limit to getting the less healthy stuff. Im amazed at how few overweight kids left that place.

I actually had one of those old pencil sharpeners in my house growing up, in a small transition area between the mud room and the basement of all places.

I think we just it threw out at some point. I never noticed that they went away until people started pointing it out.

Pencil sharpener actually got autocorrect'd to penis sharpener and I kind of regret fixing it tbh.
I had one too, on our computer desk. Fuckin hated using those things

That food looks absolutely terrible.

Also I've never played that particular game, but I'm pretty sure nearly everyone today is in agreement that it's only a good thing PC gaming has long evolved past that kind of tech.

I'll admit that I'm sometimes guilty of missing my good old days, but that sure as fuck ain't it.

It is very highly unlikely that millennials will know how to load up and have the patience to play that version of Oregon Trail and then genuinely enjoy it. And that food is nasty, can't believe some of yall would literally delude yourself of how great the good old days are based on school lunch. Yeah that food is great if you're from a third world country.

I don't hate on boomers. Boomer hate is just based on rhetoric. Sure, statistically, boomers are more like to have right wing views, but there is no real value in saying boomers are right wing. The real value is focusing on people harmful or hateful values.

Actually they aren't. Gen X are. Boomers are actually about the same as Millennials in terms of supporting Democrats.

Why is this a reason to hate on someone? Seriously, some guy either posts an innocent meme or is suffering, and you want to make it like he's some piece of shit and hate in him. You're being hateful and toxic, calling other people miserable. I'm not trying to defend anything, there's nothing to defend. Maybe try being a kinder, more accepting person.

Because you're blindly sympathetic to this particular situation. Trust me if I was judging something you also felt like it's a bad thing you wouldn't say shit. If anything I want people to realize that peaking at a young age is not a good thing, that people should have a positive outlook for the future. So in a way you're actually enabling the opposite of what I'm tryna do

Everyone has an embarrassing past and I'm not tryna make fun of it. I'm just saying it's not the best trait to peak so early in life that your best days are behind you. Being stuck and living in the past is generally not a good thing.

I've been clear that I'm calling you out for being a hater. The mental state of the meme dude is the ambiguous part. I don't think a single meme enough to infer that he peaked and is miserable.
Yes, if a agreed with you, I wouldn't call you out...

Just read some posts ITT. It's reality for a lot of people. And if true, peaking at such a young age is not a good thing and calling that out isn't hating.

And I know the guy in question who shared the "meme". He's definitely not memeing.
