How bored were millenials? What the fuck did they even do lmao?https://x.com/groyper_quant/status/2104262291453845947
>>543422856
>>543422856Being bored is a good thing sometimes, retard.
>>543422856NOOOOO NOT THE CONTENT OF MY OWN MIND DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!!!!!
>>543422856Yes it's called thinking. It's something you can do even when no screen is available to show you somebody's tits
>>543422856plenty of e-celebs besides just nick- https://rentry.org/Deus_Vult
>>543422856If only you knew how much better things used to be
>>543422856It was substantially less boring. Everything sucks now so even when you are engaging with some form of entertainment it isn't actually satisfying. Just thinking to yourself about things that were actually good was better than scrolling.
>>543422856There were no wait times for doctors back in 2007 or minimal wait times. If I wanted to see a specialist I got a spot in 2 weeks not months. Same with workers.
Spic Feuntes also forgets theres was socializing and imagination.As a millennial born 89 AND an only child i found some very fun ways to keep preoccupied.Today that would be labeled as adhd and whatever make believe mental conditions they came up with
We did this great thing called reading a fucking book.Zoomers should try it some time.
>>543422856But spic Fuentes isn't old enough to remember it. He never had a Walkman nor discman.
I feel like a good chunk of society's problems would be solved if people were forced to spend a month in jail.
>>543422856Bypasses motivation. Fails to realize the roots of motivation. Wonders why younger generations have gone to shit due to lack of motivation. Ok, sounds legit.
>>543422856>"hey guys it might be an hour or two">one guy pulls out a book>another guy goes to sleep>another guy pulls out a Nintendo DSAlso that faggot is 28, he's too young to really remember the time before smartphones. Straight up larping idiot
>>543422856Boredom was a bigger part of life before the internet. I'm not sure why chudcels romanticize it so much. Alienation pre internet meant you weren't invited to anything. You were completely shut out of an important aspect of development. Now if you're ugly, short, and disagreeable you can still find a kind of pseudo social circle on social media.
>>543423959Shut the fuck up, Mumkey Jones! Reading is fucking boring. READING SUCKS!!!!
It was a better time
>>543424125You can really tell a zoomer typed this post.
>>543422856Always do opposite of what controlled opposition says
>>543422856>What the fuck did they even do lmao?whatever we wantedsomething you'll never know
>>543422856play pokemon red (later silver) bought by my grandadplay football in the street with frensplay pic rel to get adrenal rush
>>543424535indeed the golden era of humanity
>>543422856Oh man you had chances to stop and think about your own life and goals instead of filling your head with other peoples slop the horror it must have been awful
>>543422856>born in 1998>remembers pre-smartphone worldbull fucking shit, I was born in 1990 and I barely remember itt. childhood was walking around with sony discman in cargo shorts pocket
>>543424125The best ideas come to you while you’re bored. It’s essential for creativity
>>543422856The brain is actually very good at producing its own stimulus and entertaining itself. The more you subject it to screens and flood it with external stimuli, the more you saturate it and prevent it from growing in that regard. The more you subject it to the algorithm. the more it becomes the same as all the others enslaved by it.
>>543422856listening to scary stories to tell in the dark audio tape made road trips peak
>>543422856>What the fuck did they even do lmao?talk
>>543423296fpbpThis twink faggot was alive only after all these things were developed and on the market. Not only that people carried books, puzzles, walkmans, cellphones, and pagers long before the smartphone arrived.There were plenty of distractions by the time this homo was born.
>>543422856Went outside and played. Used to do ghost in the graveyard with the neihborhood kids. Like 20 kids playing a type of hide and seek game where if you were found you could run to the graveyard, a pre selected location, you would be safe if the guy finding you could not tag you first.Also this when it came about >>543423296
>>543422856Used to fingerbang goth chicks, play cs 1.5, and skateboard alot
>>543422856Didn't he read books as a child? We had long car trips sometimes and we'd listen to music or read books.
Its true. It was BORING as shit back then. When all you got is a pocket calculator for entertainment to make funny words out of numbers, you know it's gonna be a shit time.
>>543422856That was when you played your GBA or DS
>Nick Fuentes is 28 years oldanother zoomer larp remembering a time he was too young to be part of
life was more boring in 2003. begging for mid games like runescape to run on your piece of shit pentium 2 processor 350mhz with 128kb ram. i don't miss those days one bit. now we have unlimited access to about 100,000 videogames with relative ease and work very well even on modern OSes
>>543422856>>543426132
>>543425069Based, yes you nailed it, sex and adventure, the drugs were better quality back then too.
>>543425213We used to get this inside cheetos. I got mewtwo in my first pack. I traded it for some 35 or 33 of these things with a friend's older brother
>>543422856we had CD players or Walkmans that could tune into the radio. that's how we developed this thing called "taste" that zoomers completely lack. we listened to entire albums all the way through and got the full experience the artist intended instead of just picking out singles to play when getting drunk.
>>543422856>There was literally nothing to do but read a magazineBring a fucking book. Puzzles. Knit. Origami. Everytime I think this retard has said the stupidest thing ever he keeps talking. Do zoomers require constant stimulation exclusively provided by their phone?ls?
>>543422856It's pointless explaining. You'll never understand just how good we had it.
>>543422856Nick fuentes is a fucking retard who doesn't even know what meditation is. Thank you Nick for derailing the patriot movement into a brick wall. Not a single groyper can name 1 accomplishment he has done to this day except "welllll he's entertaining!". Nick Fuentes is the biggest narcissistic loser in politics, "storm the capital!" Absolute fucking cult for 80 iq losers.
>>543426205Smartphones weren't ubiquitous until around 2011.
>>543423296I was outside playing tetris 1989. My girlfriend asked what the port was for and I explained that its for the multiplayer link and that is why I own two copies of tetris 1989 and that I would own anyone in tetris 1989 because it doesn't do that pussy shit where you press up to drop down instantly, nor let you slide beyond 1 smidge and it requires an frame perfect input and doesn't let you slide infinitely. Games were better when they didn't pander to a broader base, this game is still better than almost anything on a smart phone because I actually have to pay attention.
>>543426639The iPhone was finally unshackeld from AT&T in 2010.
>>543422856People's company was more important and valued.If you were bored, you'd call your friend(s) to hang out.
>>543422856This retard went places without carrying the book he was reading at the time, because he was never reading a book at any time.
>>543426639i'm talking strictly computersbut you want to talk about phones? how about 10 cents a text message and minutes, actual minutes per month you had allocated on your expensive phone bill. minutes were free after 9pm. now a days phone bills are cheap (before inflation adjusted), unlimited data, text and calling is the norm and people are pissy if youtube DOESNT load up in seconds. we just have so many more options available. you can avoid your globohomo shit relatively easily.
>>543426205Wait what?In 2003 was boring because video games were less modern ? Wasting hundreds of hours playing runescape and not going to music festivals and huh just spending most of your time outside? kek
>>543422856i used to skateboard but i never got very good could only do a few basic tricks like kickflip and such
>>543428042It was more about getting into mischief and fucking yourself up like the CKY crew.
>>543422856we had a lot of fun without worrying about someone recording something and posting it on the internet and ruining our lives. Drank, hung out, played cards, went to bars and restaurants that were dirt cheap. Tech is pure extraction now, it doesn't help people's lives it's more harmful than tobacco. One that is especially shitty is what doorcrap and uberjeets have done to food delivery. I could order a pizza in 1995 for delivery and it would be less hassle (no app signup needed), cheaper, delivered faster with no delivery fee, and no bullshit pre "tip". Just pick up the phone, call dominoes or whatever, put the order in, 30 mins later guy knocks your door and you hand him a $10 and done. t. late X'er
>>543422856Vidya and anime. I been playing WoW since 06 and plenty of ps2 before that
we had friends and we used to talk to them. It was great.We also used to get more reading done.
>>543424125I'm bored on the internet. It's just this annoying mixture of boredom and stimulation, so that I can't look away from the boredom and do something I actually want to do.
>>543422856creative people are never bored. those who lack imagination suffer from a mundane existince, cell phones have nothing to do with this.
>>543422856Those places always had a bunch of magazines of different topics, now they don't and I miss that. I never even look at my phone. Being outside and doom-scrolling without paying attention to my surroundings? I hate that everyone operates like that now, even old people. You go anywhere, look around and EVERYONE are on their phones. Even at a party or concert. It bothers me so much. Makes me feel so out of place.
>>543426339That rare mewtwo is now worth millions of dollars
Why do so many people worship these worthless ecelebs?
>>543426418>listening to the radio>developing tasteJust lol.
>>543428872>we had a lot of fun without worrying about someone recording something and posting it on the internet and ruining our lives. Drank, hung out, played cards, went to bars and restaurants that were dirt cheapSo real, life back then was made to be most of the time outside and socializing, and not just in the weekends. I would finish dinner at a Monday or Thursday whatever and leave house to chill with the people in the local bars and coffee joints, or we would gather in someone house to play board games and drink some wine and smoke some joints and going home late even if I had to wake up early to go work .Like there was so much stuff to do even without much technology, like back in the day who the fuck would care about internet , even when it started to become popular for home usage, nobody gave much fucks about the internet , we wanted to just go out and enjoy life not spending more than 2 hours looking at the computer screen
it's ancient lost technology
>>543423449woah there, cool it with the antisemitism bro, that's how revolutions start.
>>543429561I still listen to radio this days, when I'm preparing diner I always put radio on .Radio is cool as fuck specially when it's good hosts
>>543422856Childhood in the 90’s was good, upon reaching adulthood in the early 2000’s I played in bands, went to music festivals, got laid, explored abandoned buildings, went camping, went canoeing, shot guns, drank, did psychoactives, partied, made a lot of great friendships. I would just show up at friends houses unannounced, hang out, I had a sequence of friends houses that I would go to in a path when coming home from work. There was live music most nights of the week, would often have to compress multiple shows in one evening and bounce from venue to venue, then go to an after party or two, hook up with some girl, do the same thing the following evening. I am now a father of two, I don’t regret many things within my life as it was largely pretty enjoyable.
>>543422856Also, this fucker never heard of bringing your own book, or having music to listen to on your discman or mp3 player?
>>543422856Hes not even in his 30s. No way he actually remembers anything pre smartphones.
>>543422856To be honest i don't think the difference was that major. I think patience is mostly innate and frankly there's not much benefit to long periods of time day dreaming. At the same time you just got good at day dreaming so long waits weren't overly awful. I could tank 10 hour car drives as a passenger all in my head. Planes however are majorly improved with smart phones. People lament these things as if they represent a fundamental change to human behaviour that will lead to ADHD and schizophrenia with associated brain tumours but I honestly think it's all pretty equivocal in the end.
>>543429875Honestly, most towns or cities that have college stations play excellent music. I absolutely love the local college station, it’s like maybe 30 mins of music uninterrupted with a public service advisory about smoke alarms or seasonal depression like once or twice an hour. The music is pretty eclectic and it’s possibly the only good thing about this region apart from the gun laws.
I didn't even get a cell phone until 2008 at the age of 25. Becoming inaccessible and disconnecting was a valid motivation to leave the house.
Well we almost died a lot more from doing stupid shit outside, but it did mean there was a high chance of getting to see one of your buddies almost die doing stupid shit which was good times.
>>543429909Yep , that was the norm for 99% of young people back then. Even for people that were not some much into adventuring with recreational highs outside of drinking booze and smoke some joints, going out and being out there in the open was the norm even for the less adventurous and less extrovert
>>543430011ThisHe's just making shit up he thinks people want to hear. He is, and always was, a conman.
>>543425445Welcome to the midnight society
>>543422856Zoomer men are faggots and their women are disgusting sluts so your precious internet really did a number on you worthless pieces of shit.
funny, i was thinking about this yesterday, and i think i came to the conclusion. i'm 37 years old (oldfag i know) and lived through the beginning of the endi think it's all about introspective (Introspective means looking inward and examining your own thoughts, feelings, emotions, or behavior). think about it. before smart phones you had to sit there with your thoughts more often than not, and that made people more rational and better rested. a lot of sleep issues come from not being able to relax when laying down. all those thoughts and memories you have to compile during the day through retrospective are simply pushed back until sleep time because of phones. we do not give our brains any time to buffer before we try to sleep, thus causing our brains going into overdrive to try and organize everything that's happened since the last time we slept.i've done this "experiment' and went 3 days without touching my phone and actually sitting there and being bored for a few. slept way better than i had beennow we bury our thoughts away and don't want to be alone with our thoughts, which makes us more emotional and less prepared for any conflict. the results is what we see now a days and it is clear phones are the culprit.>How bored were millenials?sometimes we were bored yea. but it is important to be bored and i told my son this). progress, growth, innovation, and lots of ideas come from when we're bored, so before you pick up your phone after 8 seconds of shutting off your pc, go ahead and just sit there, bored, and be a menace to the jew, as they don't want us to think
>>543423526This is literally zoomer's greatest fear. They have panic attacks when confronted with their own thoughts in the absence of stimulation
>>543422856I, personally, liked to contemplate the meaning of eternity
>>543423296naturally zoomers don't know about pokemon red/blue and how huge that shit was
We had sex
>>543430068There are alternative music stations with very good hosts and nice talks in between the music with guests and interviews, personally I like that format of radio, and if they are good hosts makes it even better and familiar . I have hosts that I've been listening for like at least 15 years. But I'm a big fan of radio since early age.
Its a pretty common thing for zoomers to lament the fact that time is seemingly moving too fast post covid. Maybe time seems to be moving so fast because they're glued to their phones 24/7 which give them constant stimulation?
>>543430782I grew up in a world before hideous disgusting poos. It was glorious.
>>543430718I was 23 when it finally came out here in the states. I've been tryna become a Pokemon Master ever since!
I don't care what some zoomer who was born after smartphones were commonplace have to say about life before smartphones.
And this- >>543422856 is why the jews call Nick Fuentes a goy. Stupid animal.
>>543422856>kids today will never know the anticipation and excitement of the trip back home to pop in their new video game, only catching glimpses of the back cover or manual to read when passing a street light, gently illuminating the world in soft orange for a second at a time
I also remember before the widespread period of smartphone adoption. There were maps in the gas stations which could be purchased. I do remember this. And also, you will never be a millennial. The millennials don't even want you. You will always be a zoomer because TIME says so. lol
the pioneer staring at a horses ears for thousands of hours as they crossed the country probly wishes he had a smartphone.
>>543431633Maybe and also Our degeneracy had class, it's not the degeneracy of this days gooning to some onlyfans streamer and giving her money to be noticed on chat and she did not even flash any boobs, while also buying a jar with farts or dirty underwear from her.Amway I'm not here to point fingers at this new generations, they were born and the world was already changing to become more of a mindless soulless world.It's fucked up
>>543422856Gen Z is an Abomination. Lmao.
>>543430011smartphones were not everyone until 2014. a 20 year old can remember life before this plague
They're all dead as well.
>>543422856He's not wrong but we weren't THAT bored, since you can't miss something you never had. Activities outside the home were stepped into knowing it meant you had to create your own entertainment or go somewhere to be entertained. How do you think consumerism exploded in the 80s and 90s? It was the age of nickel arcades and window shopping, forming cliques and adopting genres of music as a outward look, it was peak but for a dumpster diving society. The 90s saw some newer things, mainly on the nerdy end of the spectrum because people were tech starved by then, the internet was too much for the jock-obsessed normalfags who adopted every fad. By the mid-2000s tech was the new Gucci, when smartphones dropped everybody had to have them because they became a symbol of prole wealth, you were a gutter rat if you didn't have one.
No art from post ~2012 has as strong of roots
>>543422856We had these things called books, they were kind of like smartphones but they didn't use electricity and they were made out of very thin pieces of wood.
>>543422856I read a lot of books and always carrried one with me. This guy is being faggoty
>>543422856this faggot wasnt even alive when smart phones were not a thing
>>543422856lol this faggot never knew a world without smart phones
It all resumes to this Nightclub discussion in 2026 :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev430oF9sckNightclub discussion in the 90's :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyntZ2CXs5c
>>543422856The funny thing is I still don't really look at my smartphone. After an hour I might but otherwise I'm content to sit and talk to my wife or daughter.
>>543432595It all resumes to thisNightclub discussion in 2026 :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev430oF9sck Nightclub discussion in the 90's :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyntZ2CXs5c
>constructed entire novellas in the waiting room>Practiced for a test while waiting in my car for something >Would take a walk when bored>Would lay in grass and talk shit with buds for hours>Would watch a movie with friends>Grab random newspaper and read about local little league or some shit It feels so weird that these activities are considered old and a relic of a forgotten world. It was just what you did.
>>543430718This. 1998 Tae Kwon do summer camp every one of us had red or blue. Most didn't even have gbc because it was still very new
>>543432767>talk to wife
>>543422856You are a certified zoomer if you never attempted a game of travel monopoly in the backseat barrelling 80mph down a highway
>>543432443Nah dude 2010 was the year after the blackberry phones went out of fashion.
>>543432751God take me back.... The only thing you'd have is a potato quality picture from some shitty Nokia.
>>543423662Sometimes you sit there and think about shit. Sometimes you just randomly chatted up other people sitting there bored. Sometimes you recruited a friend to come with you to hang out. It was way better and way more human.
>>543432767Get a load of this fag
>>543432970You could say 08 but those days not everyone had a smart phone
>>543423296You would look weird using one of these once a teenager. You would be bullied on the bus. This kept the nerds somewhat socialized.
>>543422856>it’s another millennial derangement syndrome thread
>>543433088Yeah, I forgot how much video games weren't always mainstream until xbox made first person shooters easily accessible and fun. Before that, it truly was a domain for the nerds.
This is what I was spending my time doing between age 8-15: >reading a ton of books>helping in the house and the garde>taking care of pets>hanging out with friends>playing with my siblings>doing homework>going on family trips>picking my skin>listening to music>watching TV>playing instruments >chatting online as a teenager >looking up things on the internet>spending time in the forest That's actually pretty much what I still do today. Interesting.
>>543432971As I clicked that video to post here a deep chill runs down my spine as I watched it, like a slap in the face and at same time a immense feeling of joy in the memory Truly sincerely take me back please
>>543432751Clubbing in the 90s and 2000s was such a vibe.
>>54342366>Yes it's called thinking.It's gotten so bad that zoomers call this "dissociating"
>>543422856I met several GF's by talking to them, during a bus ride, in a queue to buy shit, that sort of thing. We called it socializing, it was great, you didn't need to pay anything, it never went offline and it got you laid, but sure some 30 year old virgin twink thinks playing candy crush is better.
>>543424122> that faggot is 28, he's too young to really remember the time before smartphones.The first iPhones came out around 2010. He would have been 12 then. He likely didn't get one till he was much older.I don't know how retarded you are exactly, but I can re-call my life as a child and teenager.
>>543433628It was unique in my opinion, I don't like to simply say to zoomers that I had it better in terms of living the youth years. It was just something that is hard to replicate this days, life was so much simpler and more genuine. Not this dystopian npc world we face now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6_EIooawQshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6162GAgCSA
>>543434123Dude I have said this before, but there was really a time when people would hook up who otherwise would not have been attracted to one another. You used to hear older people say it all the time>He wasn't really my type but we went in a date and he made me laugh so much that I agreed to a second date and we were married for 60 yearsThat kind of shit happens all the time. I remember a girl teasing me relentlessly for being shorter than her and how she liked only tall guys and after a few weekends hanging out we ended up dating for a bit. We actually got to know each other. Now, shed likely see me as NOT 6 FT + in tinder and completely ignore me. But because this was 2005 and she had no choice to converse with me (we ran in the same social groups so we ended up being around each other all the time), we actually got to know each other. Absolutely unreal that this is a thing of the past but it's how human society performed for tens of thousands of years.
>>543434359Don’t you remember how things were when you were twelve?
>>543422856Read books, watch movies, listen to music, play videogames. All the same stuff was available just not on a phone.
>>543434386I think part of it is that not everyone had a damn camera in their pocket at all times. You could just get lost in the moment without having to fear that someone might record you and post it online. Maybe what we've lost is being able to not always have your guard up in a crowd. I miss how it feels when a lot of people enter this state of mind together.
>>543433628clubbing was always a chore, spend hours wasting away to the same top 40 garbage and buying well liquor to get enough courage to find a mid to bring back to your apartment. and when you got lucky the sex was always underwhelming.
>>543422856>How bored were millenials?This is the crazy part, you actually talked to the people around you.
>>543434359nta but youre just as much of a larger, disingenuous faggot. we had cds, gameboys, mp3s for two decades before iPhones
>>543434629And this kind of shit is exactly why precious generations grew up to be mostly functional adults. Awkwardly trying to bang someone through effort is a time honored tradition. I bet some ancient Roman teenagers were swigging cheap wine to work up the courage to talk to some German barbarian chick with a mustache at the summer festival, just to bang her unshowered pussy in a smelly alleyway.
>>543434629I don't doubt that not everyone was having fun, it probably also greatly depended on who you're there with and your overall mood.
>>543422856It was shot. I was out playing and ignoring how by doing that till my 30s would leave me with nothing and no chance at life. Nobody even tried to course correct me and my mother kicked me out at 12
>>543422856ive noticed brown shitskins and low-iq whites need constant noise/distractions to keep them from being left to their own thoughts.
>>543422856We were too busy fucking to worry about the news. Often times it was right there in the doctor's office. Sometimes you were doing Dr. John Story himself. Or he was doing you.Books, dumb cunt. They were cheaper too.
>>543422856things people had before he was even born that filled in for mobile phones in waiting rooms:>various versions of gameboy>portable cassette/CD players>Tamagotchi and various other electronic toys with primitive screens>video game magazineswhy is he trying to stolen valour life before mobile phones?
>>543434591>You could just get lost in the moment without having to fear that someone might record you and post it online.You could make a absolute goofy ass figure of yourself and nobody would care a single fuck .90% reduced judgement A time where being goofy and clumsy was highly accepted and enjoyed
>>543422856>borednigger, I have no time for your satanphone shit, too many things to do>old Nokia user, cannot say model as writings got erased from age
>>543422856really showing himself to just be an npc with knowledge but no understanding. Nick as fallen hard
>>543425368I remember it clearly cellphones existed but they were pieces of shit you could play snake on.Finished high school in 2006. Nobody was using cellphones for anything but making a phone call and that was rare as you had credit in those days and parents would give you enough to call them once and that was basically it.
>>543433088Not in the period immediately before smartphones. Even chads had a DS in 2006.
>>543435077I once tried to go to a club again in the 2010s, it was horrible, absolutely soulless. Or maybe I've just gotten too old for it.
We talked. The internet has had such a terrible influence on shaping the younger generations value system. You all have the same programmed responses. You could be from anywhere in the world but because enough people on the internet have repeated it, you're petrified to go against it. There are normal, apolitical 13 year olds parroting talking points without any further insight or ability to provide context. Its really noticeable and it's really creepy.
>>543422856why are zoomers so deathly afraid to be left alone with their thoughts
>>543425368Cell phones and smart phones were different. Even when smart phones came out, they were expensive and basic browsers/calculators. Remember the beer drinking app? One of the first viral apps was a app that looked like a beer when you tipped it. Or talking Tom? Fucking retarded shit. Not like today where you can get lost doom scrolling or YouTube rabbit holes. This current hell scape did not become modern place until about 2015 or so and accelerated after COVID.
>>543434359The iphone came out in 2007 and smartphones that weren't just touchscreen blocks were already a thing for many years before that.
>>543422856In school we had been fucking around da hood all day, waiting for someone's parents to go away or lets us in to sit at a pc for an hour or two, then the parents were booting us back into the street. At the one hand it was natural socialization which modern kids lack, at another it was such fucking waste of time.
>>543433088Absolutely ridiculous. Never ever have I seen anyone being bullyied for playing Gameboy back then.t. oldfag
>>543433088It wasn’t so bad being friends with the other weird kids trading Pokémon on the DS
>>54342536820 years ago feels like 300 years ago now cuz of these dystopia smartphones
>>543425396This. I remember stuff like waiting in the hospital for hours as a kid when my grandpa was sick. Had a great time scanning all the magazines for quality boobs, checking out the building and talking to other kids I met there.
>>543435459The Internet was a mistake but at least in the 90’s and 2000’s the internet and society were 2 separate worlds. Once society became tied to the internet it eas over.
>>543422856Must really suck to not being able to function without a goyphone telling you when and how to breathe.
>>543422856we skateboarded outside.
>>543436503I’m on my smartphone tons, everything sucks so bad now that it does a good job of occupying your mind and not having to participate in this awful society now. But I’m a very fun affable personable person cuz I was born in the 80’s and got a good 30 years of normal life. So it’s easy to turn on cuz we got that world. Problem is younger people don’t know how to do that cuz the screens were there from the beginning
>>543422856no one had to go to the doctor back then and if you did you had to wait a little bit but then you saw a white doctor and guess what, they didn't try to shove xanax and other ssri's down your throat, and road trips were family occasions where you had fun and got to roam around without being murdered or kidnapped
>>543422856i didnt have a smartphone till 2014i miss not having one lolwas nice ignoring the internet besides youtube
It was boring as fuck.
>>543422856The most terrifying thing in the world to a zoomer is to be left alone with nothing but their own thoughts
>>543422856There were things called books you’d read if you weren’t retarded
>>543422856Nick Fuentes doesn't remember shit. He is a zoomer through and through.Things are about as boring today as they were back then, if you let them be.
>>543422856I actually enjoyed things back then, my dopamine receptors weren't completely fried
>>543424125Except now the internet is dead and meaningless and you might as well be back to reading magazine ads in the doctor's office again. It's the same waste of time, just with an international flare. If you were going to read back then, you'd be reading now.
>>543437339You can still go read any manga or book ever written or watch any anime or classic movie ever made or download any rom of any retro game. Internet won’t truly die for another couple of years
>>543436835That webm says it all, before the smartphone era we did not had people being like this complete unhinged militant nutjobs with the most dystopia ideologies ever created by humans so far
>>543422856We made our own porn at home with sticks and a tub of mayonnaise. Game consoles then became porn. It was setting the stage for the generation who produced furries. We also came up when shit got real, in the US a guy who thought Lara Croft was porn went straight into GWOT from 2003 and might have had to come home to the housing crash and ensuing culture wars. That's the same timespan as the Trump era starting with newly established smartphones 2016 up until today with crises in between much in the same way but it's broadcast in such massive volume and with non stop action giving everyone a tiktok ADHD crisis brain and you can't sit still. Asmongolds streams have calls to violence and overt authoritarian themes while he plays a game. Shits twisted as fuck. I just spent an afternoon reading, went to meet my friend by the beach on my bike until I got a car and drove out to my girlfriends over the years. I guess all in all I should have stopped taking chinese pain medicines I ordered off a forum.
>>543422856>omg...i have to preoccupy myself for more than five minutes....>I'M GOING INSSANEAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEnot a good look zoomerbros
>>543422856We had mp3-players. We had PDAs. Only retards need a smartphone..>>543423296And gameboy of course.
>>543422856>iBook
>>543422856I'd play snake on my nokia.
>>543422856Doctor never took that long, there more people now so it takes longer with fewer good doctorsWe had car games and booksHighlights magazineFuck
>>543422856two hour doctor waits weren’t really a thing here pre smartphone era. Ironically, things ran a lot more efficiently back then. Not necessarily because of the lack of smartphones etc, doctors and hospitals were just more efficient
>>543422856Fucking 4chan, let alone SA, started before smartphones flooded the world.
>>543422856I still do thisPhones are not entertainingIt's all slop on there
>>543423296This is how I basically spent my entire first adult-style job as a highschooler
i can think of about a billion videos where young people come across happier pre-smartphone. https://youtu.be/RYbe-35_BaAhttps://youtu.be/5yBvP3616Wchttps://youtu.be/8mps0LTpIBE
>>543422856>How bored were millenials? What the fuck did they even do lmao? Pretty fucking bored. And parents would get annoyed with us being bored and complaining about it. They'd chase us out of the house and we'd ride bikes or something and find property to damage. We'd get our hands on firecrackers and blow stuff up. I once leaned in to see why a firecracker wasn't going off and it blew up in my face. We'd chase each other around the neighborhood with toy guns and swords and stuff. We used to know each other from school because the schools would typically be populated by children who lived down the street or at least in the neighborhood. Neighbors would talk to each other and hang out. Even in communities with apartment buildings. People actually trusted each other to act with basic civility. I remember it like it was yesterday. We didn't know how good we had it. You didn't need to be anybody's boss just to get by either. You could actually work at McDonalds and afford your own place. You were actually considered a loser if you lived in a one bedroom apartment instead of a house with a wife and kids. Now that studio apartment is like water in a desert.
>>543422856They watched talmudvision.
>no ""smart""phones everywherethey were better times for sure
>>543422856This guy is such a faggot which PR firm keeps posting his gay retard takes? No one with an IQ greater than 4 listens to these influenzas
>>543422856dont care what fed retards think
>>543422856There is no reason to care what Nick Fuentries says about anything. I would have never heard of him if I didn't frequent this Nepalese satire comedy board. That being said, I cannot imagine anybody would care what that guy had to say. How does he even have an audience? How do any of those grifting dickwads have an audience? I do not get it.
Played outside, built forts, skateboarded and rollar bladed. We still had video games and vhs tapes.
