Ah yes, nostalgia bias is real. I hate those posts that talk about how great we had it 'before'. Yet, I find myself part of the grumpy brigade as well. I don't like how AI is taking over, and we all go everywhere with our phones attached to us, and how propaganda is taking over every aspect of the internet so you actually don't know what or who to trust anymore, and every discussion on every topic reaches fever pitch. I miss the innocence of the 80's and '90's. But there is a lot to celebrate, and if we don't maintain positivity, we'd go fucking mad.

I know what you mean. I'm seeing a lot of those kinds of posts from people my age now on social media—I guess we're getting to that particular age. Lol. I see the danger of AI but I also can see some of the promise in it. People who weren't able to find some semblance of balance in the Mobile-phone Age will be absolutely screwed, glued, and tattooed (one of my pops' old phrases) in the Age of AI. It will be like the Mobile Age on steroids. I miss certain aspects of the 80s and 90s, for sure. I didn't have nearly as much fun as I should of in the 90s because I worked so much though. There IS a lot to celebrate. Every day we wake up breathing and coherent is cause for celebration.
Work and the 90's - nope, just barwork and finishing off my Arts/teaching degree very very slowly haha!
