I'm already pretty happy with now lol

At least we managed to land jobs even if not at good companies, but looking at the job market these past few years, it's frozen solid as a harsh winter, and honestly I'm not even sure if there'll be jobs to find later for real

๐Ÿฐ

wait why is this making me feel attacked? i'm not even korean but the 'put your phone down' advice somehow applies to literally everyone lol

Not even knowing satisfaction is a 90s-born thing wwww

Back when I was a kid, my dad would occasionally bring home Perika or fried chicken and damn were they delicious.. My son eats fried chicken at least once a week. He'll be going to school soon, but now there's no more gift money bribes and no packing lunch boxes. No violence, fewer delinquent kids. Gang members robbing people off the streets are gone. Can always hop on the internet with a smartphone and do hobbies whenever you want. Don't need to boil water and mix hot and cold to shower in the morning anymore, all bathrooms have bidets. Turn on AC during summer and order all kinds of delicious food straight to your house. The world is definitely better and getting better. Twenty years from now when my son becomes an adult, how much more will it change. One thing's for sureโ€”he'll live way more comfortably, happily, and joyfully than me

For real thinking back, eating fried chicken once a month was considered eating a lot... ใ…

Envy is a good thing

Man imagine how much fun being in your 20s would be, plus the new GTA6 coming out

No game since WoW in 2004 has been more fun

I've tried everything but the dopamine from 40-man raids hits different, man. We were wiping on Ragnaros, then heard our realm's Thrall got ganked and 4 guilds used their hearthstones to defend and pushed into Ironforge but then the server crashed

๐ŸฆŠ

as a 90s-born korean myself, can confirm we're all just vibing and telling younger people life was harder back then ๐Ÿ˜‚ it's like a universal parent thing

๐ŸฆŠ

honestly this hit different, my parents are 90s koreans and they literally said the exact same things to me last week ๐Ÿ’€
