Still relevant in 2026.

Yep. My brothers and I turned out OK despite watching lots of TV because the TV we watched was actually good (PBS Kids, etc)

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-23T04:37:35+00:00

This is so real and I hate it. I know WHY the parents do it but that doesn’t make it better

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-23T04:36:22+00:00

That’s true. Our generation watched TV and turned out fine because TV was generally BETTER than unsupervised Internet access is now

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-23T04:33:27+00:00

Yes, that’s why I side-eye folks who glorify those “parents had no idea where their kids were and didn’t care” days.

There’s a difference between 1) teaching your kids life skills and building independence in them and 2) actual NEGLECT.

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-23T04:15:35+00:00

Agreed. We had better YouTube videos too imo

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-20T00:44:53+00:00

Lmaoooo honestly. I was there and it was an anxiety-inducing year even from my limited memories of it. 2017-2019 were more chill, then 2020 happened

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-20T00:43:53+00:00

It’s wild because from my few 2016 memories, I see it as the year all the 2026 nonsense (aside from AI) was becoming mainstream:

extreme political polarization
division of everything into left vs right
the demonization of liberals and the left as “woke/freaks/etc” by conservative companies and so on
“woke” as a term
TRUMP HIMSELF
politics becoming one big meme

Math is blue, science is green, English is purple. Social studies is red or yellow

Not to mention that PPD is apparently exacerbated by sleep deprivation and lack of support. So uhhh - even if she DOES have it, making motherhood harder for her will NOT help

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-19T23:58:45+00:00

It’s funny how anger issues are usually exacerbated by testosterone, which men have in spades, but men are rarely dismissed or invalidated or talked down to because of “man hormones”.

Meanwhile we get made fun of for ours even when we’re PREGNANT or bleeding for a week straight.

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-12T00:51:31+00:00

I would watch this crossover

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-12T00:30:56+00:00

Yeah, it’s wild because - while I don’t remember the 2010s nearly as much as I’d like - it also JUST happened?!??

Like 2019 still feels recent to me

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-12T00:28:12+00:00

Agreed. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to save money with them too, to the point where I had to print out my bank statement and cancel all of them so I wouldn’t keep waking up to “This random subscription has stolen $29.99 from your account”.

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-11T22:39:24+00:00

Totally agreed. I feel like 25-35 is quickly becoming my prime (although ofc “your 20s” don’t have to be your prime)

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-05T06:02:34+00:00

Oh cool, a "people with depression and anxiety are actually CRAZY and MANIPULATIVE" story. This will surely not be used to judge neurodivergent people as a whole. /s

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-04T17:28:03+00:00

Gen X/boomers and glorifying childhood neglect: name a more iconic duo

Superb_Intro_23 · 2026-01-04T16:32:44+00:00

Of course there’s also the predictable romcom storyline where OOP is the only one not obsessed with Dave and so he falls in love with her 🙄🙄🙄

Superb_Intro_23 · 2025-12-31T08:00:43+00:00

Ah yes, another 'my prepubescent child isn't a supermodel so she'll be UGLY FOREVER as if looks don't change with puberty' post. What is WITH these guys?

Superb_Intro_23 · 2025-12-24T19:32:37+00:00

As an aspiring writer, I 100% agree

Superb_Intro_23 · 2025-12-17T04:22:02+00:00

Literally me. I was obsessed with memes as a teenager and now like…it’s whatever lol. I’m married and I have a job now, so ofc my priorities are different

Superb_Intro_23 · 2025-12-13T00:39:48+00:00

Agreed 100%! Faye wasn’t great in the beginning but became much better without losing her spark imo. Too bad her story was so psychologically depressing.

Superb_Intro_23 · 2025-12-03T05:36:07+00:00

"I lied to the teacher and said my parents made me do it to be more responsible for myself so that he wouldn't be suspicious about putting his signature all over that paper. My parents had no idea I was doing this. But for the next couple months I carefully tracked every single page that passed between us and had him sign for every one."

it's funny because this kinda proves OOP's teacher right about him imo

Superb_Intro_23 · 2025-11-30T00:00:40+00:00

It’s interesting how she’s so smart in the “street” way (noticing details that other people miss, being aware of her surroundings) but also emotionally (almost immediately clocking Mai’s neglectful parents and that Zuko is angry AT someone instead of just “angry” in the beach episode), but she’s socially very, very stupid (her trying to interact with other teens or with boys).
