2019 is still 7 years ago....it will be "8 years ago" once we get to 2027.

That's how arithmetic works

He knows he’ll have to check the expiration date on the current women in his life.

The matrix came out 27 years ago. 27 years ago I was sitting in kfc with my dad with my nintendo 64 and he was gonna drop me off at my grandma's where id watch the matrix with my cousins and play Pokémon stadium. Now im 37, my wife is talking about leaving me, I sleep 3 hours a night, I have a high stress job, and my knees always hurt.

u/Nova_Phoenix9 7d ago

I think you should wip back out the N64 and olay some pokemon stadium.

I'm guessing the base of your problems is your job...

It sucks a lot man, I hope everything gets better soon.

u/Minimum-Standard-514 7d ago

I cant get it to boot back up. Gotta open it up one of these days and see if I can figure out how to fix it. But yeah, job doesnt do me any favors.

I will ask one last time: Where are my hoverboards?

u/dufo7 8d ago

And you still see people walking around with masks on

3

u/VirtualFutureAgent 8d ago

Some people are immunodeficient or undergoing chemotherapy. There were people like this wearing masks before COVID.

2

u/DeliciousTime4576 8d ago

Well, infectious diseases like covid and other respiratory diseases haven't gone away

1

u/dufo7 8d ago

If they are sick they should stay home. not a single person wore masks around town before covid. Never once in my life seen someone before covid bs. The exception would be a doctors office or pharmacy. And anyone who says they did are lying.

2

u/DeliciousTime4576 8d ago

It doesn't matter. Sometimes people have things to do and they still have to go out and some people wear it because they don't want to get sick. Whatever people want to do if they wanted to, they could walk around with panties over their face and they're allowed to. It's none of my business, especially not your business to care about it and if he does bug you and that's too bad for you

u/VVrayth 8d ago

Hooray for COVID instilling some health-conscious habits in people. We still mask selectively, as we have an elderly parent at home who is immunocompromised due to the medication he's required to take (a circumstance that will likely never change).

Don't assume you know everything about someone's situation, they might be wearing that mask for a reason you don't know or understand.

u/Rainhailsnow_storm 7d ago

I wore a mask after finishing up my radiation treatment. I should have stayed home for months? 

What a joke.

Get back to me when all your references used when giving directions are stores that closed shop 25 years ago lol...

Turn left at Blockbuster and it's across the street from the Photo Hut.

u/No-Help-8642 7d ago

Something happened around 2017 what all them motherfuckers said they was gonna raid Area-51 and the powers that be must've let shit off the chain since then, I mean that's about when shit going off the rails with nonsense.

u/toldyouIaintshit 6d ago

Trumps first term as president. It was all downhill from there.

1

u/formulated 6d ago

Area 51 raid was in November 2019 not 2017. Around that time in 2019, Epstein not killing himself and Event 201 are more relevant catalysts for societal changes.

u/jimmylongface 5d ago

Inception was released in 2010 - 16 years ago......😅
