Poll: Would you rather be living 2025 or 1985?

[VinnieBoomBah]

Starting to sound more like the question is "what year would you rather die in?"

Probably before 9/11/2001

The world changed that day for the worse. It got us the Patriot act (surveillance) and a 20 year totally unnecessary war which bankrupted this nation. Then 2008 happened, which made the economy even worse and finally COVID which cut the femoral artery of the world economy. Now we have Iran.

I would like to have died before all that when this country still worked more or less for the average person

Yeah. Once the Hackers get ahold of AI and wipe out everyone's bank accounts we will be back to the stone age.

Stock up on Preps.

Well, it'd be the same scenario if they used AI to make everyone billionaires too. Money would be worthless is as bad as having no money. Then again with decentralized crypto currency, *maybe* it wouldn't be as bleak as we think, or people just return to bartering for goods and services.

1985 without a doubt

Also when the Oregon Coast wasn't much of a tourist trap, when it was mostly sleepy fishermen towns.. lumber industry was good...Portland wasn't as dangerous... Most people were fairly conservative in Portland....though that era was also full of cocaine fueled promiscuity parties

At least it's pure cocaine, and not Fent or some other wack sht

I was living in N.C. back in 1999 and I remember reading in The Charlotte Observer newspaper commenting on what goods folks were hoarding for the Y2K worldwide meltdown, if memory serves the two top of the list items were toilet paper and rice, tons and tons of rice...

No cell phone interruptions or distractions. I didn't even get a pager until 1991.

First pager in '91 also. First cell, company phone in '96. Carried a flip cell and a BlackBerry, so I could respond to emails…

Rather be living my 20's in the 70's than my 70's in the 20's.
