Do you remember what you were doing on 9/11/2001?

[Хahar 🤔]

I woke up, and saw it on TV with my parents. It didn't affect me in any way; I was six.

I knew, from then, that the world just changed forever.

No, it didn't.

It did for a lot of people.  If you don't care about it at least show enough respect to shut the fuck up already.

Never said that. But the world didn't change forever.

What the hell is your problem? Of course I didn't mean forever, but for a long time. Do you even care for the innocent people that died on this day?

Did I say I didn't? In what way did this change the world?

That's how it changed the world.  It led to two wars and shifted American foreign policy, among other things.

That's a quite broad definition of "change the world forever".

In what way did this change the world?

During the 1990s I was obsessed with skylines (and still am, to an extent), so I spent a lot of time collecting postcards of New York City and drawing the skyline on construction paper. I also remember trying to build New York City in Sim City 2000 and being ecstatic at the prospect of visiting the World Trade Center sometime during the mid 1990s. Had a chance to visit it in 2000, but didn't have the time

oh well, yeah. now the place is a barren wasteland. it's terrible. My brother's apartment in Brooklyn has a fantastic view of Lower Manhattan from the roof; it's the type of place where you blast all those cheerful late 1990s songs, sit back, and drink your favorite beer. but the experience is heavily.....subdued by the constant reminder of omission. Seriously Xahar, go to New York City, go to the top of any structure facing lower Manhattan, pop open some Blue Moon, and then tell me the experience is the same as it was in, say, 1996. And that, amigo, is how the world has changed. You can say it's all in our minds, but our minds are the only thing we have.

You know, you sound a lot like angus these days.

I was in school like 90% of the people on here probably were.

90%? It happened at, like, 6 AM.

As I recall, Ben took Kindergarten twice.

The 90% was an intentional exaggeration but it didn't happen that early anyway.

Really? Well, I know it happened before school, which started at 8.
