Yeah, I think those memories are to be cherished. Your apartment setup back then genuinely sounds like a setup for a wholesome sitcom xD

It's stuff like that, that makes me have very few regret from my 20s because I full on just wanted to make friends and throw myself into a bunch of scenarios with them while I had the chance and was still young.

When I hit 30, I was like "I'm ready to move forward".

Still miss it sometimes. That closeness and the goofy shit we got up to sometimes. Also just the hanging out on those lazy evenings. Good times ❤️

I know it is popular to shit on Friends these years, but I think that it captures the growing up part of life pretty well as the show is basically about capturing a snapshot in time of a group of friends when they were the closest before adult life tore them apart. Because that is how the show ends. They all grow up, have adult responsibilities, different priorities and they all leave the apartment complex to start new lives away from one another.

In my 20s I had a group of friends for awhile and we would hang out in each other's apartments all the time, sometimes we would sleep over at each other's places and have breakfast together before heading to school. We would go on picnics and excursions together. All pile into the old, rusty car that one of us owned and drive somewhere.

We had a pub we liked to visit semi-regularly and we were pretty 50/50 men and women.

When we got our degrees, most of us packed up and left. We are now in our 30s and some have had kids in the meantime while most of us have grown apart. Some of us still keep in contact and hang out when our schedules permits it, but it isn't like it was when we were in our 20s.

To me, Friends is an idealized version of the friends group stuff in your 20s. To me it isn't as unrealistic as it's being made out to be nowadays, but it is idealized.

I treasure the few years I got to have good friends and classmates that I loved to hang out with and treat as family. No matter how much time passes, whenever we get to meet up again, it is almost like no time has passed at all, and that is such a great feeling, even if we only get to see each other like once a year.

English would be a lot more fun if they did the same as us.

Wait i thought finnish didnt have articles?

Journalism exists in Finland too.

It's a good thing I wasn't talking to you, then :)

I mean, there are some dark unhinged things in the pipeline of wtf memories, but I prefer the funny and lighthearted ones.

Like when my 80something year old dad got into Shawn the Sheep and Bluey and would start babbling on about the lore in the shows and explain character arcs for different characters and letting me know that this or that season is awesome but that the latest season was total ass.

He also named his lawnmower after one of the characters in one of the shows and actively refers to it by that name when he talks about his gardening projects.

Hate to be that asshole, but antisocial = psychopath. Asocial = not into hanging out with people. There is a difference and unless I'm misinterpreting your comment, I don't think you belong in the former category.

I heard that during viking times pink and glitter would be considered very luxurious. Dunno if it's true, but I think it's funny.

Video for reference

I'm glad I don't live in North Korea because I wouldn't want to traumatize their poor government with pics of my face and body in the morning. There are limits to cruelty.

Personally, I don't think GoT was good past season 4. The drop in quality writingwise was staggering and characters like Jaime were being progressively treated like a joke because they cut out significant parts of the plot from the books and flat out skipped a whole book because they got bored. Jaime's arc in the show stopped being good after season 4. Just like everyone else's. His arc in the books was way more interesting. He didn't go back to cersei and go get Myrcella. He was put there leading sieges and shit while leaving cersei behind to her own devices.

It's sad we will never get the rest of the books, but I'm sure George would have thought up something way better for Jaime than what they did to him in the show for the last four seasons.

Meanwhile, Zuko's arc worked because they knew what they were doing with him from start to finish.

What joke? Where am I? Who the fuck are you?

Him talking to a frog is one of the best things in the show.

I love that once he lost his anger, he's just a massive dork.
