    I remember when I was a kid, I got down on one knee and prayed for a more interesting world like those in my hero comics.

    I wish I could go back in time and strangle that little shit

      When I was a kid and learned about the fall of Rome I was like “Yeah, but how cool would it have been to have been alive then and witness the history first hand?”

      Smh

      We both got what we wished for, we should join forces and wish for something amazing 😂

      When as a child I would complain “I’m bored”. My parents would reply “Ancient Chinese curse - may you live in interesting times.”

      Nothing Chinese about it, but it was meant to blanket it in perceived mystery and wisdom so you thought about its meaning before dismissing it.

    Remember this last year when Charlie Kirk was shot in the fucking neck? That was pretty eventful.

          Ha. Not many places for me to go. I’m disabled and can’t afford to rent a bedroom in someone’s house like I did after Hurricane Katrina bc the economy. I’ve checked cities all over the US. When the elderly aunt I live with now dies I’ll be homeless again

      That’s the exact sentiment MAGA is founded on. “Make America Great Again”. They obviously don’t mean it either.

      The problem isn’t that times are now more interesting than they used to be, just that we’re more aware of them. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. As long as you’re not black, gay, trans, hispanic, or a woman. Or any other number of demographics who’ve had shit piled onto them for no reason other than it makes someone else feel more powerful.
