ugh this one time i was visiting a friend in nyc. maybe like 2010. she takes me to this party and i see this guy there wearing a limewire shirt. so i go up and ask him bro do you work for limewire? he says “naw man but i used to” and my mind is blown so i ask him what it was like and he thinks for a sec and then he says “it was wild man” and i didn’t even know what to say after that.
The '90s were a lot of fun too. As I stare down the barrel of my 60th birthday next month, and watch the U.S. collapse and the world unravel, I can’t help but be nostalgic about the mid-90s through about 2015, which in my opinion was peak America.
That was basically my childhood and it was pretty cool. I got to grow up with a lot of the crazy cool tech before it was [fully] inshitified. I was poor, so i didnt really own it, but experiencing things like the progression from gamecube to, the wii, xbox kinect, and then oculus vr and google daydream was incredibly cool.
Imagining the progression of the US as a chart, the post-2015 era would not be so much a slope, rathee a cliff. It’s absurd how rapid thing have declined.
On a positive note - good luck on your 60th, hope you have a grand one.
Thank you so much! I’m having a bit of a renaissance. After exiting an unhappy marriage and spending several years recovering my mental and physical health, I’m in the best physical shape of my life and am having a lot of fun. While the state of world affairs is depressing, I’m moving forward with my plan to exit the U.S. and move to New Zealand for a fresh start.

The nineties were wild.

I’m 31 but I agree
