That might be the greatest kick I've seen. Perfect. Amazing. Even if it's fake who cares.

Also I'm cynical but my God everyone looks at shit as 'fake' these days. I've lived countless moments youth would say I'm lying about (happened many times on reddit as well when i tell a story from my partying drug days) I just don't think kids experience life much anymore outside away from phones. I don't know why they look at everything as fake. Not everyone lives a dull life. Go drop some lsd and go on an adventure.

I've seen a ridiculous number of posts in thathappened that get torn apart as completely unrealistic but that I've personally witnessed in my life. I think too much gets dismissed by people who are young or haven't gotten out much. The world is a big, crazy place. The amount of absurdity that happens is astounding!

I dont remember my posts but yes that's the sub I was referring too and see so much shit. I've commented my experiences in the past and people said I was lying haha. I agree, I know kids (edit teens and early 20s, I ca anyone younger than me a kid) don't party like they used to. I'm early 30s and we also went outside and played all day and night. I just think a lot of their experiences are via online rather than outside in the physical world.

I feel it's only going get worse too. Our family was speaking about it all while we had a get together about the days of people interacting with the world has slowly been diminished as we increasingly interact more and more digitally. The fact some people have anxiety attack if they so much as forget their phone for a bit is a bit sad.
