  Hey now, 1995 will always be 10 years ago. Always.

    Funny how time works.

    • 1995 was ten years ago.
    • 1997 was three years ago.
    • Every year of the 80s was 20 years ago.
    • 2010 was 10 years ago.
    • 2016 was two years ago.
    • 2018 was two years ago.
    • 2019 was one year ago.
    • 2020 lasted for six years, but ended three months into the year.
    • 2021-2022 didn’t happen.
    • 2023 ended just a few weeks ago.
    • 2024 still hasn’t ended. We also invented time travel. Consequently:
    • 2025 takes place in the 1960s, rapidly progressing towards the 1940s.

      My tinnitus can negotiate a V.92 handshake.

        were it not so sad… that’d be impressive…

        nrmally tinnitus is a constant sine wave right? I’m lucky that mine is only audible at a noise floor of “super quiet” (my dB meter crapped out on me a while back and I’ve not had the money to replace it sadly)

    I finally was able to readjust my brain into believing 1995 was longer than 10 years ago. I’m now convinced it was 20 years ago.

      This is borderline acceptable.

    I first played Doom in 1995. And SimCity 2000. It indeed feels like 10 years ago.

    Damn, I’ve got the heaviest drinking pattern of any 10 year old you ever seen then.

    Since this was true when I was in primary school, it’ll always be seared into my brain. I mean, I realized this when I was learning to count and spell, of course it’s saved as one of the most basic facts of life. Like, 4+4=8, 90s are 10 years ago 70s are 30 years ago etc was stuff learned at the same time, so it’s like it’s saved in a similar way.
