  • My knee-jerk reaction would be “if you’re happy”, but I had an epiphany a while back:
    I was chitchatting with a coworker over way too many beers and he asked me something along the lines of “were you happy growing up (insert background here)”, and after weighing my words I responded that “I would’ve been, except I’m generally not a very happy person”.

    So am I satisfied with my life? Yes.
    Do I have worries? Yes, like anyone else on this planet. Mine are pretty minor and not debilitating.
    Do I consider myself happy now? See above.

    But yet, I’d conclude that I’m living a good life, even if I’m generally a grumpy guy.




  • Early 2000s entertainment too. A good portion of the edgy jokes could be considered funny because they were made on the assumption that “We can laugh about this, because we all know racism and sexism is bad, right?”.

    And then 2015ish happened and it became obvious that a lot of people weren’t laughing AT the -isms but rather WITH.

    EDIT: Which slur did Ross use, BTW? I haven’t watched that show in eons, and I don’t remember any.
