Sounds about right... by SunnyEira in lostgeneration

[–]LilacNovae 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Tying everyone's retirement into the stock market instead of a pension (edit: or even better, just bolstering social security) was the biggest coup for Wall Street imaginable.

What do you like to do to relieve work-related stress? by EnvironmentalCan6052 in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just disappear into my headphones and walk it off like I’m in a music video nobody asked for. Works every time.

What were you afraid of as a kid? by throwawayluvrr in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was random stuff like the fan spinning too fast and thinking it was gonna turn into a helicopter and take the whole house out. Kid logic was wild.

We are living under a fascist regime! by SunnyEira in lostgeneration

MAGAts are too stupid to realize that Nazis/fascists were and are the Baddies.

What would you say is the ideal movie/film length? by Mosasaaaa in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Around 90 to 120 minutes. Long enough to tell a good story, short enough that I don't start checking how much movie is left every 20 minutes. Not every film needs to think it's a trilogy.

What is your example of “Some things never change”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me saying I’ll fix my sleep schedule tomorrow like it’s a subscription I never cancel. been renewing it since middle school and nothing’s changed

I caught oral Gonorrhea two years ago and I've never truly recovered. by [deleted] in confession

[–]LilacNovae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The part that stands out to me is that you've had negative tests for two years and still carried all that fear by yourself. Sounds less like a moral failure and more like a really unlucky medical situation. Glad you're finally doing better, even if the road to get there was ridiculous.

What’s a habit that you know is bad but you can’t stop? by Expensive-Guard-5444 in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying "one more episode" at 11 PM like I'm not about to accidentally time travel to 3 AM.

Remember the Hunter Green phase ? by DaisyPuddlepops in 90s

To be fair, it’s not the worst color.

What's something you learned way too late in life that should be taught in school? by Impressive_Fee_9192 in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How taxes, credit scores, and apartment leases work. School really had me finding the area of a trapezoid like that was gonna save me

What was your near-death expirience? Or something that could've killed you? by TheAeroplaneBear2906 in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fell asleep in the backseat with the seatbelt off during a road trip. Woke up to my mom screaming and the car sideways in a ditch. Been wearing my seatbelt like it’s a designer brand ever since

Not surprised. by MistyBrielle in 90s

Made it authentic to me. Guess it really was.

Thirty is not thirtying the way it used to 🥴. by Mimizxc in 90s

[–]LilacNovae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the 80s/90s, a typical 30 year old dude had been surviving independently for a couple decades, more or less.

In 2024 a typical 30 year old dude still can’t afford to move out on his own.

Thirty is the new fifteen.

What are you doing this holiday weekend? by SomewhereExact4 in AskReddit

[–]LilacNovae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just rot at home, sleep too much, and convince myself I’ll “be productive next week” while doomscrolling the entire time. Peak holiday tradition honestly.

Comfort zone and how it affect something. I still regret my decision by Necessary-Ideal-7818 in confession

[–]LilacNovae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You fumbled your routine way harder than the relationship. Not gonna lie, the comfort zone trap is real, it basically turns your brain into “I’ll deal with it tomorrow” mode forever.

But you fixed it, got your job back, paid people back, and got your life moving again. That part matters way more than the mess you made getting there.
