    My normie mom sent my techie dad an email in 1982 announcing that she was pregnant.

    Normies have always been on the internet.

    The pattern I see, over and over again, is that “Things really started going downhill right after I graduated high school / college and stopped having enough free time to fuck around, but not enough interest in global news / national politics to be inundated with The Existential Horror.”

    And if you grab names out of a bag, you’ll find people from every generation insisting the Olds Ruined Everything For Me and The Youngs Can’t Do Anything Right. Somehow, they’re always living in the sweet spot of history.
