Yeah, I've watched quite a bit of his stuff, but he isn't the only one saying these things. He is very entertaining though. It's been a concern for a long time, but it's starting to be proven accurate. But Peter Zeihan is great. Highly recommended.
Anything after the 90s sucks. Really 9/11 fucked everything up. The 90s was the age of innocence. The Cold War was over. 9/11 hadn’t happened yet. TV had an amazing lineup of shows. Some of the best movies ever made were in the 90s. I think the NBA was at its peak. I would definitely say the 90s.
The 90s is the time most people got "online" ever. Brave new world. No internet or cell phones? We had "The Box" to request "Put em on the Glass". We jerked off to scrambled porn. We had beepers and then went to a pay phone at Plaid Pantry to set up a meet up with the homies. Pre-gaming was Coffee People/Starbucks on 23rd. Goldeneye on N64. NFL Blitz. People had bumpin' systems, neon under the cars. People made mix tapes. CDs got popular for the first time. Removable stereos in the car. Hangin' at the Mall. Life was good.
The internet sucked in the 90's. Your mom would call and kick you off of dial up. You had to wait 20 minutes for a nude pic to fully load. The 00's had good internet and a mixture of the AOL chat room days too. The cell phones in the 90's were horrible. The 00's had the Nokia phones which were sweet. Pagers were cool in the 90's and that tells you all you need to know. I liked the 90's. Just not as much as the 00's.
All part of the struggle. I remember the first nude pic I downloaded took all night. The satisfaction was worth it. And you can hit up a rando on AOL and it'd be a real person, not some weirdo trying to steal your CC number.
I met my wife on AIM. Before there were any dating websites. Or at least, before anybody knew about them.
Tijuana wasn't dangerous. Or as dangerous. Didn't need a passport to go across the borders by car. We would sometimes go there on a whim to drink and party.
Saw half way decent tickets for these guys and Def Lepard are $300! That's a hard pass to watch some old guys wheeze their way through an hour long set. I will say that me, the wife and some of her cousins went to Garth Brooks a couple weekends ago. I'm not a country music fan and really only knew one song of his that I could sing along with but that man put on a show. 60 years old, running all over the stage for 2 1/2 hours, never skipped a beat and had great interaction with the crowd. Same tickets that are 300 for MC/DL were 125 for Garth. Well worth the money and seeing at least once.
Having been born in 1980, I'm very partial to the 90's. For all the reasons mentioned above, coming of age during that time that was really the transitioning to the technology boom was awesome. Not sure there's another decade that I would have rather come of age in.
Where are all the Trumpers? Figured we’d have a lot of votes for 2017-2020. Maybe even they realize that things were better before him haha.
