    Back in the day you could book computer time at the local library in my town. I would walk to the library by myself so I could play Oregon trail on an apple iie. Honestly I’m glad that kids have access to the equivalent of the Library of Alexandria in their pocket, but I do miss the days of pre social media and the 24 hour news cycle.

      When you realize that shit you had to go through as a kid, nobody else will ever have to experience… You’ll be the same.

      No, actually, I won’t. I’m in my 40s, not some kid. If your opinion is that future generations should have to struggle as much as you did or they’re somehow not as good, then a solid fuck you.

        Your quoted reply was from MystikIncarnate instead of PriorityMotif, and it looks like you’re reading hostility into their reply that I don’t think was intended. I believe the point was that every generation will have unique struggles, and it’s not intended to wish that each one should have to struggle exactly the same way or amount by pointing out some of those challenges.
