    A lot of the people I grew up with are dead now. It’s not insignificant either, it’s like half my friends. :yea:

    I’m in my 20s. Drugs, depression, car wrecks (social murder) killed them.

        If I ever lose my SO the capitalists will know. Pretty much the only bright spot in my life. All these young people filled with hopes, dreams, and a promising future died for nothing. I won’t let it be for nothing at least for my SO.

      My childhood friend I had a falling out with died in 2016 from a heroin overdose. Most people I graduated with are barely getting by. No one I know has actually “made” something of themselves, just subsistence living. Millennial btw.
