      Well your main mistake was getting married at 26 you complete frickwad. Assuming you were together a couple of years before the marriage , it’s safe to assume she was one of if not your first serious partner and you just went and got locked in. Dude, your 20s are for screwing around . It’s a cliche I know but you need to get all that shit out of your system. Now you have a fresh slate, treat your 30s as if they were the 20s you missed out on. Men luckily can have kids at a later stage in life and we still look good well into our middle age so don’t worry about any of that shit. I’m sure you are a decent looking guy, you will be fine.

        Modernist moronic thinking. 30% of women say they would get back together with their first love, if they had the choice. The more partners a person has, the more likely they are to have a failed marriage.

We also have stories of a hermit who lived in the nearby woods who adopted children and raised them as pagans. Every old building like an inn or church or mayor’s house has stories attached to it of both the lords and regular folk. All remembered for hundreds of years by old people and a dwindling number of young local history autists. That’s real culture, and in a real culture you can be remembered

I have to wear a wacky tie once a week. IM GOING INSANE. Compared to today its sounds like heaven to my zoomer ass. Given the current state of the coperate world. The only film from this period that has any honesty is Swimming with Sharks. It sets itself up like this kind of movie. But completely flips in the second half and calls genX out on a lot of its bullshit and self-righteousness. Really good, underrated film. In a fair world it would be the Kevin Spacy movie everyone talks about with the long ass wiki page. But it isn't.

        There were no "issues". Gen-X being slackers is a meme. It's more that this ethos was simply the natural reaction to having boomer parents. It's not like we were all wandering around in this apathetic malaise or were miserable. It was a meme that was mostly forced on young poeple from the top down because the boomers that were established were still sucking up all the oxygen in the room. You have to understand how narcissistic the boomer generation is and that's something we're STILL under to this day. In their subconscious minds, when they die, the world dies. That's why they're subconsciously trying to leave the world in as shitty state as they possibly can.

      Literally this. The 90’s were just so prosperous that homosexual artist types couldn’t handle it. So they kept trying to make edgy cynical depictions of suburban life or high paid office work to make it seem like hell on earth.
      That’s why gay directors and producers also glamorize the 70’s so much when it was one of the worst decades ever for average Americans. Kids getting snapped up against their will to go die in Vietnam, horrible hairstyle and clothing, gas crisis, repeated hostage crises, the rise of international terrorism, everyone on drugs, explosion in divorce rate, crime, etc. That’s what israeli Hollywood thinks is cool. White families with high savings rates, a good standard of living, and stable employment start making israelites sweat with fear and panic.

          I don’t think, I know. You’re clearly a zoomer so you probably can’t understand but the 90’s were like a israelite nightmare. Country was still 80% white, everyone was rich, College and healthcare were super affordable, nobody was on SSRI’s yet, nobody had heard of ADHD. The TSA didn’t exist. Nobody had heard of a Muslim. Everyone was nominally Christian even if they didn’t attend church regularly. Nobody liked gays. Drugs were seen as something only losers do. The only big crisis in the 90’s was people getting divorced a lot which is why every 90’s kids film always started with the parents splitting up.
          The scandal of the decade was Bill Clinton getting a blowjob from his secretary. That wouldn’t make the front page today.

      The frick are you babbling about? Are they weak or are they not? Weak people don't struggle and break free. Also, Millennials didn't all have Gen-X parents, just some of the tail end and zoomers are the way they are because boomers STILL control society and our institutions. Zoomers are the result of boomer grandparents who "spoil" the grandkids, so to speak. Gen-X, true to form, are playing the passive role as a generation in the shadow of supreme narcissists.

    the point of the movie is that he should have banged the teen and divorce his wife to get together with her before he got shot. his daughter ran away anyways with her bf.
