Posters are saying today is way better than the 90s. Is that true?

yall over doing the "we talked to each other" bullshyt. LMAO. It's more like extroverts had it good because people were forced to be around yall everywhere. Extroverts cry now days because more people don't have to be forced to be at the club with them and shyt like that. :dead: We see yall crying about "people heads stuck in there phones and they don't talk to me" bullshyt.

Again, yall would go back to 1995 and soon as you needed to google something, you jumping back in that time machine. :russ:
Y’all overdoing the computer in your pocket when it’s not essential to living. The stuff that’s actually essential to living was better back then and/or already available :yeshrug:

Introverts didn’t have to go out they still had stuff to entertain themselves indoors :mjtf:

The so called extroverts on the phone majority of the time in social settings it’s awkward a chick can’t even be on a dinner date without checking her phone every few minutes :mjlol:. Imagine paying to take a bytch out and you don’t even have her undivided attention :hhh:

If you have no life and no bytches I understand searching on google would be so important. People these days have no idea what it’s like to actually own a physical product, ask an elder about knowledge, read a book

Also explains why Gen Z the weakest minded and fragile group in history

I once went about a year with no phone.

I had never had a cell phone and I didn't cop a home phone.

I LOVED that shyt. I was in a tiny college town so it was pretty easy to just go to the person you wanted to call.

But no one could keep track of me and I wanted it that way. See ya when I see ya.

HD cameras everywhere. Internet activity monitored.

Here's the big diff tho: women are so uptight and offended by male behavior now. The cold approach wasn't some debate. It was literally the only way to meet women outside of someone setting you up with their friend, or knowing someone from school/neighborhood.

And women were allowed to have sex while drunk. Or. Men were allowed to have sex with women while the woman was drunk (NOT TALKING ABOUT UNSCONSCIOUS, JUST REGULAR, SEVERAL DRINK IN, DRUNK). And frankly that's where most of the ransom hook ups occur anyway. Inside a few cups.

And just look at the music. For Heaven's sake no one can deny that.

And dare I say: the racists were way quieter.

again, knowing what we have now...having a computer in your pocket is a deal breaker for the average person. LMAO. Having internet at home in every household is a deal breaker. 1993 is 30 years ago.


"Introverts didn’t have to go out they still had stuff to entertain themselves indoors"
this statement alone is pure bullshyt compared to 2023. :pachaha:the choice of going to the club/bar vs staying at home watching Saturday Night Live. compare that to online gaming, streaming, all kinds of other shyt we have now like Top Golf, escape rooms, etc...and some of yall are skipping over how big online gaming is.

In terms of technology yes

In terms of communicating among each other face to face no

nikkas today could know what’s going on in different cities quicker than the 90s

I would have no idea what’s going on in NYC, MIAMI, CHICAGO, DMV, etc in the 90s because of lack of technology and all we would know is word of mouth from someone we might know from other places..

Tupac and Biggie case would be solved if both was killed in this era, because of social media,, because it doesn’t matter what decade,, nikkas love to gossip

No point responding to you again. You can’t fathom a world without a pocket computer

It was obvious even back in 96 2Pac murder was retaliation for the incident at the casino

Things were so much affordable. My uncle bought his house for 80k in the 90s, same house is worth 600k today. He done a bit of work to it though

Rent was $700ish when I was in high school, $500 back when my sisters graduated.

Couldn't even enjoy those "cheap years" like my siblings did because I graduated one and a half years before the Recession started then housing costs shot up exponentially afterwards. They did us dirty :smh:

anybody that wasn't around in the 90's would time travel to 1995 and when they need some kind of information or if they need to make a phone call, they would reach in their pocket and pull out a hand full of lint. then immediately be like..."nevermind send me back. :huhldup:"

Yeah people gonna find out they gonna have to carry a cd case and some batteries for their Sony Walkman cause no iPhones were created. Yeah a mp3 could only put like 20 songs on there :mjlol:

If you got money all that costs shyt in negligible.
But how? If you have money, you would have even more if shyt didn’t cost so much; which would mean more money to invest which in turn creates more money. I don’t HAVE to look at any account I spend from when it’s time to spend, so the money is there, but even more money SHOULD be there.

Not one wealthy person on earth thinks the way you’re thinking. Wealthy people get upset over a missing penny of interest and get pissed about taxes going up .00001%
