This is how I feel whenever Zoomers are nostalgic for the year 2016. The only reason 2016 looks good when you look back on it is that 2016 hadn't finished doing its damage at the time.

There's a meme from some other site about being old and telling the tale of 2016 to an inquisitive youth. If i remember correctly, it goes along the lines of:

Oh you you wanna hear about 2016? Takes 3 shots of tequila Well it all started in 2015 with this gorilla...

Everything since has been a fucking wild ride. Past couple of years have been relatively tame thankfully. But I can't help feeling like that story arc is not yet finished and it leaves me feeling apprehensive about the conclusion.

Side note: Ooo neat, bracketing something with tripple * makes it bold. TIL.

Haven't had this happen yet, but I'm certainly old enough.

For some reason, the one that bugs me a lot is the number of people who can't spell Ronald Reagan's name correctly. Maybe because I remember his chief of staff, Donald Regan.

As in "Ronald Reagan is the reason student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy", that guy?

Oh, you've heard of him? That ain't even the half of it.
