Kinda like what Europeans did to the native populations of the Americas.

Women's health concerns are always dismissed. They ignored my mom while she was in active labour off-and-on for a week. Only then, did they bother to check and her water had broken a week ago. I mean, at least I'm not dead ๐Ÿคท

I hate what Carney is doing tbh. I lean a lot further left than liberals do but voted liberal out of complete fear for my safety. It was my first time voting tbf

As in the century, obviously. The same way people don't literally mean 1800-1809 when they say the 1800s

Only because I was shown the movie on Netflix or something in like... 2020.

Someone who's 46 is old enough to be my dad. Actually, my dad isn't much older than that.

The thing is, I am still a young adult. I was only born in '04 and turned 22 a couple of months ago. Can't believe I'm lumped in with people who are nearly 50 years old. I have nothing in common with people who are old enough to remember some type of technology called floppy disks.

As a teenager, being shown a cassette tape for the first time was a history lesson. Even being shown a rotary phone felt like looking a piece of technology from the 1800s.

Edit: people born in the 1980s are literally old enough to be my parents.

Can't believe I'm now old enough to be lumped in with people born in the 1900s ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

Edit: I'm only 22 years old; why am I lumped in with people who are getting close to 50 years old?
