We might not be the best but we are the coolest. If you are under 30 years of age or over 50 don't post here, thanks.

The Greatest Generation are a bunch of racists if it wasn't for WW2 their biggest claim to fame would be the Generation preceding The Civil Rights Movement.
Baby Boomers ruined this country financially so they could live better in their Golden Years.
Millennials are just straight up pussy rear end bitches.

It's going to be super awkward referring to these days in the future.

Back in the 2000s?
Back in the early tens?

It just doesn't work.

90s were

as gently caress

i dont see how 2010 has potential top it, its half over and so far it's mostly been ok but not great and mostly stagnant. maybe thats just from a california perspective since we've been in a bad drought since 2010 ruining a lot of fun outdoor activities, and increasing overpopulation from midwest/eastcoast tansplants making everything kinda lovely.

Hence my use of the word awkward, as opposed to impossible.

Never mind the whole neverending recession thing.
As opposed to the 90s booming economy, sure there is a recession in there somehwere but things were still better than during the current "recovery".
Also Russia and China knew their place.
