Was the past actually better? I yearn for the old world but I'm not sure if it's just nostalgia.
>>537236038Probably not, we were just more oblivious
>>537236038Objectively yes.Enshittification is policy
>>537236038people were friendlier in the past and dating was easier
>>537236038the world was never good
>>537236038>Was the past actually better? I yearn for the old world but I'm not sure if it's just nostalgia.Yes. Born in 1980 myself. Was a great time. No camera phones are internet following you around. Parents didn't give a shit you just run out all day and bike around town from the age of like four. They used to tell you not to come back till dinner time. It was easy to get laid. Even the internet and gaming was better.
>>537236038of course it was better, there were less niggers and more White people. I don't even think you understand how badly seeing a shitskin ruins your day unless you've actually gone out in society without having to look at any. the current era is like being accustomed to constant torture, to the point where your brain is just filtering out most of the stimulus and converting it into an inarticulated stress that our bodies have simply adapted to through exposure. non White shitskin niggers are the worst thing on the planet.
>>537236166There is fucking cameras literally every fucking inch square now. People used to get frightened with tales like 1984, that's how good we had it. Imagine telling people 1984 ain't shit compared to the techno nightmare this shit has become
>>537236038My dad’s office use to have computer workers that had those screen savers. I would play with these toys (pic real) and colouring paper with highlighters on days I had to go to my dad’s work. I want to go back
>>537236038>>537236095Serious people don't "yearn for the old world". We've learned from the mistakes of the past, like democracy, and sexual liberation, and we want to make a new future.
>>537236038>When you needed a home computer and a dial up connection to access the internet (basically needed to be white middle or upper class) yes it was miles better.>When our cities weren't full of surveillance cameras, because the majority of the people were white and you didn't need it.>When cars weren't loaded with useless electronics and your could replace a headlight bulb by yourself in 5 minutes.The past wasn't better,Not having to live around nonwhites is better.No reason the future can't be white again.
>>537236038>every day is worse than the last>was the past betterYou need to go back to your own country before what is coming for you.
>>537236038You'd have less things, but you'd actually own them and be much happier.
>>537236038I think that I used this screensaver at some point.But yes, the past was actually better. It's not because of tech or iphone or all that shit that people tend to circlejerk around. It's because of the brown people. Modern society would've been a paradise if the relative share of brownness was lower. That's it, that's the tl;dr.
>>537236038It was better.
>>537236038anybody remember a screen saver a bit newer than the pipes that was green, radioactive goo dripping into a vat? I've been trying to find it.
>>537236132True
The past was 100% better. Food was better. Machines were built better. Everyone was white, and people were happy. If you were a nerd you could actually get with a hot girl pre-social media if you were just charming enough. Life was normal until 2012ish.
>>537236038I mean, yeah. It was better.
>>537236038yes,privacy existed, things were far cheat, and people weren't all performative NPCs
>>537236244i was playing with those at the dentist's office and the doctor's office, possibly the original Autism Simulator
>>537236038it was easier to get an angle in to real money, land or starting your own business.every market has been fully developed, captured, consolidated now
>>537236521cheaper
>>537236132And people could afford to live on a low wage job. Not luxurious but you could have an apartment to yourself if you worked in the 90’s.
>>537236551>apartmentI lived in Appalachia in the 90s. you could have a house on acreage working at McDonald's
>>537236268What is a “serious” person?
>>537236268This actually made me feel better. Cheers, anon. We're gonna make a great world.
>>537236038it was actually betterits not just cause we were young thenit was better and its not even close. I'd trade high speed internet for dsl or even dial up in one second if it meant going back
>>537236038maze best screensaver
>>537236584I’m thinking of Austin Texas for reference sake. In 2005, I had an appointment in the French quarter and made just a little better than low wage. I couldn’t do that today. Not even close.
>>537236038Everything pre internet or up to 2008 was near close to heaven.Buckle up timmy, the 2030 agenda is to double corruption, demoralization and immigration.And remember this, they only allow people in power because they get something in return, they dont make mistakes.
>>537236038Yes. I was there. The 90s were so fun. We had so much hope for the future and things were relatively affordable still.We still had hope after 9/11, and the early 2000s had some fun times. Good music and movies. You could feel something was off though. 2008 was when it all died. Its been hell ever since. Take me back bros.
>>537236166This. Now no kids roams freely for hours like we uses to
>>537236038It was funnier. Old internet posts were hilarious. I think it’s because there’s too many kids and normies on now
I can't believe how bad it's gotten. As a child growing up I never would have thought I'd someday spend every day hoping for the destruction of all mankind and all its institutions and structures. That's how much I fucking hate everybody now
some aspects were better and some were not
>>537236038Yes, by every standard:Food was cheaper and better quality.Pay was better.You were treated like a human being in public.The social contract was intact. You could expect a decent job, a wife, a house, and a retirement if you worked.There were fewer jeets.You were not expected to be reachable 24/7. Your job ended when you went home.Customer service was performed by people from your country, who speak your language and want to make things right.No AI.Women were shamed for being sluts.Women were shamed for being single mothers.Women were shamed for interracial-marriage.You could expect your wife to be a virgin on your wedding day.Cars and college education were affordable to even part time highschool kids.There were less vaccines, yet everyone was healthier.Things made in the USA used to be high quality and lasted forever.You used to be able to repair your own appliances, cars, and electronics.There were more social gatherings and tradition.There were third places, places you could go and just hang out with friends.It used to be safe. Kids run around outside until the streetlights came on without worry.There was hope for a better future. Technology was an improvement to our lives and not a prison.Gays were outcast, and trannies were a joke.There's a lot more, but you get the idea. In every way, it was better in the past.
>>537236095The old world had anime like the Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star. It’s impossible to argue that the world wasn’t better back then.
>>537236968Right on all points. It makes me so fucking upset to see what has been lost, fren. I was cheated out of a future. Somebody has to pay dearly for this. They HAVE TO
>>537236038it was 100%games were actually difficult and required you to write things down and think about thingsprogramming required White people.computers required 120iqamazing time
>>537236038>be me>1982 millenial>small town latchkey kid>halcyon days>wish every anon could've had what I did2 of my gfs were because we liked the same bands, another was because I pointed at her one night at a bar while playing darts. it wasn't that everything was better, it was more worth it. the effort you put in got serious returns. everything was so cheap- I had 1200 sqft downtown apartments with 14 foot ceilings doing CAD work ~2008 with enough money leftover to barhop 3 nights a week and still have >50% leftovers.everything was simpler. women would be totally cool with you texting them maybe 3 or 4 times a day, unlike now where castration happens after a 1 hour lapse, especially at work. also the 20 something women are fugly compared to previous generations, not even mine. a combination of head meds, bovine growth hormones in the food chain, kiked out culture, the usual suspects.boo hoo that I didn't get to have the family I wanted. it is my fault for fucking off for so long and getting lost in pussy, but on balance I am glad I never had children. if they were anything like me, they would hate being alive in this kiked out shitskin mudblood mutt future.
>>537237322Having kids in current day is basically a death sentence for the boy(unless he's lucky enough to have god-tier genetics and not 1% less than that), and the girls just turn into vapid narcissistic whores. Imagine the pain and suffering you'd feel watching your daughter become a phone-scrolling doodlecunt and watching your son suffer through a hopeless life of loneliness when in any previous era he'd be perfectly successful. Fuck this society to hell
>>537236038Generally, yes. There are certainly things that have gotten better since then, but what we have lost is more fundamental to human and social experience.Many things came to the peak of their art in the 90s and early 2000s. Constraints served to impose creativity and innovation. Connection across humanity was expensive and therefore more local. The human animal is overwhelmed with a direct feed to events around the world in real time. School generally stayed at school - social media didn't follow you around and competition for follower count would be seen as the pathology that it is.Society was generally higher trust, racial tensions were lower. There was an order to how life was to proceed and while it was a bit different from your parents, the pattern was recognizable. We are in uncharted territory. Maybe robot waifus and test tube babies are where we go from here - no idea, the technology is just a few years from being something you can print and set up on your own.That's not to be all glum. We can't return to the past. I wish I could have a little pocket reality of eternal 1999 to take people to and show them what it was like - but hope for the future is not truly gone. We have age reversal in testing phases and it will be widely available in ten years. Fertility windows will be radically expanded and we'll start seeing the chemical signalling system of the cells and tissues understood and interacted with as an operating system. Tooth regrowth being tested is an example of this.Industrially, we are recovering from the effort to destroy the U.S. by agents within and we'll be making strides forward. Computers are so powerful that they can run jeet code without you realizing the performance hit. One of the next big waves in computers will be performance optimization as they are running out of ways to make silicon better and while photonics are interesting, we basically start with that field "maxed" as we are up against atom sizes.
>>537237479>imaginethat was the situation with the one that got away. she is/was perfect and I was a fuckin idiot. her son was part of the zoomer generation, and his father was part of the first millenial generation from the soviet union in Estonia to break into the silicon valley game just by being a decent programmer.poor kid grew up on minecraft. his mother took care of him, socialized him, made sure he was fit, all that, but he still ended up going nowhere and doing nothing. I looked him up recently and he is somehow involved in writing some open source software related to collating and organizing some sort of dragon anime related porn subculture.had his mother and I stayed together, having him around in comparison to me being a world traveling zogbot with a chip on my shoulder and a freak streak always looking for cool work would simply have not worked with a basement dwelling neet like that.either way, my bio sons and daughters would've came out somehow similar. my older brother's children most certianly came out stupid little fat piggy idiots.
it was absolutely better. This isn't old timer rose tinted glasses speak, it was just better in most ways. You missed it.
>>537236450That might have been a game.
>>537236038How are you gentlemen?
>>537236038it was good except for the no internet and all you had was books and tv and other people and like dial phones like pick it up ring ring nigger aint no google aint no talk to siri bull shit. you went "dam nigger i dont know" to everything and that was that
I refuse to consume modern media or buy new games. My desktops 2tb hdd is filled with roughly 2.5 years worth of old TV shows, wrestling, cartoons from prior to 1984 that im slowly watching through, roughly 3 hours worth of assorted shows per night. I refuse to use streaming platforms or pay for cable TV. I'm rejecting as much modern culture as I conceivably can. Fuck this gay modern culture.
>>537236551Also cares. You could buy a beater that worked for what, $750? $1200 if you wanted to get all fancy?

>>537237609I had high hopes growing up and ended up watching my sister turn into a pink-pussy-hat-wearing buzzcut bulldyke-looking tattoo-covered landwhale with an alcohol, cigarette, vape and SSRI/therapy addiction as well. I feel personally attacked by this society and it's shit culture. It literally ruined my family. The only saving grace my father was dealt by dying young was him not having to see this shit
>>537237798>my sisternearly the same with mine. one ended up a wiccan, the other ended up christian homeschool with other peoples kids from church. both get along great, insist on cooking meals from scratch for their kids, and all the same motherly things ours did for us during the peak white era of the 90s.as teens, even their pop culture slop was wholesome. they both loved Hanson, bot into Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls. they even went to a few concerts together and marched in band.the focus of the time wasn't diversity for diversity sake, and it sure as fuck wasn't about putting labels on everyone. it was the opposite in that respect to today. we also only had 2 black kids in high school. the older one was a senior when I was a freshman, named robert. his younger brother in my class was also named robert. one was 7 feet tall, the other 5 feet. of our class of 400, we had 1 black kid, and he was cool and went to boot camp at the same time I did and nearly drowned.I couldn't stand the thought of creating good sons and daughters only to have them live among the deep fried filth of today. no fucking way. I'd kill the first nigger my daughter brought home, and then her. no way would my son ever have to be the 60th in line for some used up pussy to start his family, no matter the ethnicity of the mother.
>>537236038The real mindfuck is 2020-2026 feeling like it passed in 1 year. The pandemic hit a major speed boost on everything.In 2014 or 2015, the year 2012 felt miles and miles away, even tho it was just 2-3 years prior, now 2019 feels like just last year, but was 7 year ago, the whole Biden area feels like a blur, and we’re right back where we were with trump in the white house and no new media or styles or cultural movements that aren’t just carbon copies of shit we already had. Look at ur life from 2020-2026, it was token from you, most people are neet friendless losers, back 10 years ago that was a weird thing only habitually online people were like. Now everyone is so addicted to their phones that everyone is a friendless loser, and us friendless losers can’t go out and find a group of people, cuz they’re not there. Add to this the economy and cost of going out, and zoomers being toxic and antisocial doesn’t help.
>>537238216Back in the 2000s and 2010s you could even be both. I had a legit double life as an online NEET weeb turbo autist and a normalfag who fucked hot chicks and had lots of friends.

Of course. The simplest way to radicalize the youth is by showing them videos of the past. It really doesn't matter what timeframe you take beginning from the 1950s.
We need a new communications network that isn't infested with normalfags. The internet is too far gone.
>>537238873scalar wave internet. it's pretty rad. sort of like APRS, except using scalars/rotation for modulation instead of transverse/longitudinal waves.
>>537236038People that are to young to have experienced the 90's cannot fathom how bad it is now.
>>537236038>Was the past actually better?Was life better without niggers murdering people in my streets, chinks shitting in them, jeets littering in them and ringing me ten times a day trying to scam me, muslims gunning people down on my beaches and jews doing everything in their power to see me ethnically replaced whilst housing prices go through the roof, homelessness goes through the roof and employment becomes pointless?Believe it or not, yes mate, things were better before all of that.
Pros and cons, tech wise, no.
>>537237761OH GAWD BILL!
>>537236038Gen X American LARPING on a VPN as a Nip, yes. Yes it was. People respected laws/ law enforcement and each other for the most part. I am youngest of Gen X at 46, and I miss the 90’s. There was very little propaganda, no nigger president with tranny wives, media told the truth.
>>537236244>that picSomeone made a fortune with those things, they were in literally every hair dresser, doctors office, hospital, dentist, library...literally every conceivable place you might have to wait with a kid.
