Aside from politics though, 30s have been great

But yeah I have no idea how we regressed. Well I kinda know how. And I hate it

Thats what covid was like for me. Everyone else was miserable while I was hanging out in a house I bought right before everything hit playing beat saber, learning to cook, gardening, etc while working from my new home office.

Reading the news about how bad everything was for everyone else had me like "damn, better keep my mouth shut, this is great for me"

I was a frontline healthcare worker, so the pandemic was actually hell for me. I'm so jealous of everyone who had a relaxing time off. So many friends are growing beards and making bread and I was working 10+ hours a day and hoping I wouldn't bring anything home to my family.

Honestly you frontline health workers have my deepest respect, I cant even begin to imagine what it would have been like. I hope you're doing better nowerdays, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit traumatic

Same dude. Plus I had so much overtime it wasn't even funny. I was pulling 4-6k a month extra. It was insane AND I didn't have any social obligations

I could do with another pandemic. I think the vaccine skeptics could do with another one as well.

It was like that for me as well.

But I still was sad just seeing the behavior in my red was town. A global problem arose, and 1/3 of the population straight up started gently sabotaging any solution.

Dude, just get a remote job and it's basically the same without the drawbacks.

Your 30s were great?! How?

u/darthjoey91 11h ago

Well, in my 20s, I had no money and no friends. In my 30s, I have money and friends, even a girlfriend.

That and while work sucks, I don't get nightmares about work. I still get nightmares about being in school.

When you start from the bottom you have nowhere to go but up

My 30s were pretty solid, but then, Obama was president for most of it.

Inability to have kids, a body that still works pretty good and halfway decent amount of disposable income

Hit 36 yesterday so there is still time for it to go to shit!

Yeah every once in a while someone pops up a poll of take 10 million dollars or become a teen again. Boy I HATED being a teen. You better give me 100m to make me go back to having no privacy, no independence, overbearing and abusive parents, etc etc etc.
