Daily reminder that you don't actually like Pokemon anymore. You like the feeling of nostalgia it gives you. Pokemon reminds you of the peak of your life at childhood. A time where you didn't have responsibilities and your parents still had hope for you. A time when there wasn't a black president and you could say whatever you wanted without getting canceled. A time where you actually had friends who wanted to be around you as you weren't a lonely, bitter human being yet and your autism was just seen as cute. You want to go back in time just far enough where you could have MAYBE changed your life for the better if you made one or two decisions differently. Just take a second and compare your early 2000s self to what you are now. It explains everything. I know a few of y'all will cope with "muh society is collapsing", but this isn't the case at all. YOU'RE the thing that is collapsing. Most of you have no marketable skills, have no meaningful investments and call memecoins your "investment". You're ugly and have not worked on any of your social skills. You can pretend your inherent failure is due to an implausible roundtable of wealthy Jewish people...or whatever boogeyman scapegoat you've picked this time, but it's your fault. Even if it "wasn't your fault", it doesn't matter because no one of value will accept this excuse on why you're such a joke.
It's time out for you to live in this fantasy world where everyone but you are mindless drones while you're this ebin trench coat-clad, wannabe anime Protagonist. You're just a normal human being that can't get over his childhood. Somehow you got it in your head that this would transport you back to the past. I am here to tell you that this is not possible. Scientifically speaking, it is impossible for you to go back in time. Variable t will always be positive. The past is gone. All things that happened have sunk. I know this realization hurts as your favorite havemind shows suggest a different reality, but it's true.
