My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory. (TikTok screencap)
2005 was the best year: France had a hot and dry summer, so the grapes got a high concentration in sugars and tannins, which gave to most wines of that year an extreme deepness and complexity. Oh, I miss 2005 so much.
Yeah 2005 was good.
It felt like maybe the 2nd Gulf War was starting to wind down a bit, and there was some hope that maybe both the US and Al-Qaeda/Islamic State were going to chill their boots a little.
The internet was at its peak in terms of usefulness versus not having been taken over and enshittified by a tiny collection of megacorporations.
TV was getting pretty good as well.
Yeah, the 90s were still best, but 2005 was the best year since then.
Harambe died in 2016
Miami, the chads hanging.
Shaka, when the votes fell.
Actually that was 1997
June 26th 2015 was the peak for the U.S. It’s been downhill from there.
There’s too many people and the simulation can’t keep up a coherent narrative
Ah youngins
It’s been downhill for quite some time
All these people saying INSANE things like “2015” break my goddamn heart. Like… there’s no way for them to know just how much better it could be.
It’s infuriating that the people making it worse absolutely DO know better.
I second 2015 as the last year things sucked on a normal and bearable Level.
I think it was always fucked. They just hid it better, and many people pretended not to see.
2016 as a gen z i reamber the xanax epidemic of the time and it was bad
Was that when the mumble rapper OD’d on hot cheetos?
This was going on under the surface all this time, growing and growing, people just did not see it as a valid concern thinking “crazy people” or “stupid people” will “come around eventually”. They did not expect there’d be enough of them to pull the carriage backwards.

My ex wife cheated on me on December 28th, 2019.
I took a whole bunch of pills two weeks later that apparently are not lethal in any amount.
However, since then, I am all but convinced we live in hell, because never once in the past 5 and a half years has anything gotten better.
I’m sorry y’all. This might be the bad place.

I messed around with pills pretty bad back in 2012 and ended up with seratonin syndrome one night. Good things have happened since but nothing ever felt normal since then. Ive never talked to a doctor or psychologist about it (really anyone now that I think about it) but I swear my brain never recovered fully. Mix that in with some concussions a few years before from HS football and I feel like my brain is just broken. It might just been depression, but stuff seemed so much brighter before.
Sorry for my own rambling, but I wish you well and understand where you are coming from.

All that happened to me is I was in a drunk like state for 36 hours.
I got a big promotion? I found a new group of friends? That’s about it though.

I am sorry to hear what happened to you. I hope you find out of your personal hell. Sometimes it's better for your health to distance a bit from social media and their doomer memes.

I’m sorry but it’s been hell here on Earth since at least 2015. Your own legitimately terrible events were individual symptoms of the larger pestilence. Either that or a lot of us were already in hell before you got here.

No, no you are right, dicks out man. Dicks out.
