[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My life was so easy then. I was 22. I lived in a studio apartment on 16th Street near Mount Pleasant, before it got gentrified.
I worked in Tenleytown and would often stop at Guapos to do takeout -- [b]a hefty styro container[/b] of chile relleno smothered with shredded lettuce and a heaping plop of sour cream. 
I worked out at the gym nearby too and shopped at Fresh Fields.

On weekends, we'd go dancing at Rumors or maybe Chief Ike's Mambo. Late night empanadas from Julie's, was the name?

Life was so simple.[/quote]

Aren't you disgusted by the amount of environmental waste you caused by all those stryo containers? Gross.[/quote]

This quote makes me think "wow, I wish your mom and dad had been more concerned about the environmental damage of reproducing and chosen not to have you."[/quote]

:lol:

The 20 something and all their angst and trauma are definitely not having as much fun as we did. [/quote]

+1, that's what I'm seeing and hearing too[/quote]

Apparently there's been a significant decline in dating and sexual activity among youths.

We thought we had our own angst and trauma 20 years ago but it's nothing compared to what today's kids must feel coming from all directions. It does seem like there's a great deal more peer pressure to conform to a new prudery in the name of the righteous side of history rather than the let and live mentality we had back then.

And smart phones definitely impacted everything. [/quote]

Big time on dating. Throw on COVID and the isolation, young people moving home with their parents and/or losing work (or having trouble finding that first job), etc, it’s a mess. [/quote]
