Y'all are fat as fuck. Period. But I think I know why... bear with me.

I've spent decades watching Americans get fatter and fatter and fatter. I've seen people tonight that were unthinkable in the 70s and 80s. From talking to friends and neighbors over the years I've gathered this, "Yeah. I'm/he/she/ is a little pudgy, but at least I'm not as fat as him/her!"

You see people worse off than you and breathe a sigh of relief. Well... I look at gravestones and think, "At least I'm not that bad off!"

Keep telling my how bad your joints hurt when you hit 30.

Man I miss when concerts and events weren't just for rich kids and people with disposable incomes. I remember going to see Metallica, $40 mid tier tickets. I saw AC DC for about the same. Rob zombie with Ozzy Osbourne. I even saw a WrestleMania for like $80 and that was a lot then for great seats.

Now concert tickets for Metallica are running $400-500 mid tier each. Even smaller bands and events are more than what a premium event used to cost. The development League hockey games cost more than the NHL games used to. Working class people have been priced out.

Just basic supply/demand... plus a little bit of elasticity and profit max.

This is fred durst at Woodstock 99. Decidedly everyone there was not happy, and after this set everyone was less happy . Has to do with 90s generation being not happy generally.

There were def fatties back then too. But time has progressed and things have only got worse.

I visited the US in 1999.
After I left, everything turned to shit.

what I'm hearing, here, is that society peaked at the end of the 1990s.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

I would say the big turning point would be around 2001.

Feel like there's a reason for that, almost like I'm forgetting something...

... the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is, of course, what this is all about.

True, when I see a modern concert recording, all I see are sad and sobbing people, hating that they are at a concert

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can confirm. Everyone hate to be in front of Tailor Swift. They all yell at her at one point.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

and when she comes out they all scream in pure terror. It must be horrible

We could be living in utopia, but those damn youths had to go and break stuff

I don't blame them for breaking stuff. They just had one of those days.

You can't blame the youths, all of their actions were completed only to increase Their chances of procreating.
