Yeah... I visited those, and went to the top of one. My father likes to talk about how nobody likes to work any longer. He's quite old now... But you know that by the quote.

We really are in a different time now. But not because of a bunch of pissed of Saudi's... It's so much more complicated than we were told. The bad people are everywhere, they aren't located in any single country.

The bad people are the people that didn't think past their immediate benefit

Exactly, they live in international territory in bunkers under the Antarctica ice sheets

This pic always gets me. Just an innocuous picture that, if it weren't for the camera quality and the twin towers, could just as well be taken today. However, as recognizable as it is as modern America, this picture can no longer be replicated. Just as life pre-9/11 can never be replicated post.

Something about the soft focus, distortion, and faded colors can make clinical photos feel more like memories. It's weird.

The text plays on that inceptioned memory and turns nostalgia into something a bit... darker

This seems a lot like those "this is what they took from you" fash wave memes

That's because we survived it and used that training to continue surviving in a world that in ever changing.

This picture and quote is amazing, but now I can't sleep.
