[00:43] twenties were simply the most disgusting years, it seems to me, in general, for the last 50 years for every person. From this position it is 100% objective. And from the point of view that everything is, yes, everything was better before, because in our

[00:58] heads we draw more colorful memories, well, yes, each of us will everything was wonderful there, but if you start remembering some individual moments, you will be surprised that it turns out that back then it wasn’t cool at all.

[01:12] Especially if you read some of the news from those times, and you realize that there were a lot of funny things there too . But the twentieth plus is [ __ ] up. Here's just a specific pin. I did my makeup, got ready to film another

[01:26] reaction, and at some point I wanted to turn on the recording and express my thoughts twenty-fifth was: "Yeah, cool stuff. A global pandemic." It was awesome.

[01:38] I agree completely. What's so cool is that millions of people were dying, and we stayed home to avoid dying from the virus. Such a vibe, yes, which has been in my head for quite a long time now. And if earlier we could hear this phrase from

[01:54] eighteenth year, how are you eighteenth year? Fifth. Well, guys, for a person who lives in Russia, 2018, just from the World Cup, is a [ __ ] awesome year, to say the least. And there's a

[02:07] shitload of other stuff there. Grandfathers, now we, in our 20s and 30s, and some even younger, think about this. You must admit, this is quite strange, but also funny at the same time, because usually a term like

[02:23] nostalgia, in general [music] is a phenomenon inherent to old people, when they are phenomenon inherent to old people, when they are 70-80 years old and have no relatives left, or they have unfortunately, has become less than. How many good games came out in

[02:36] Earlier in general, probably yes. Here are the seventeenth, nineteenth, just the very best, the very best . They take out an album with . They take out an album with old photographs or VChty with old

[02:49] recordings and look at what they were like in their youth, what their children were like. cool if not for the pandemic. Relatives who, unfortunately, are no longer alive. But due to the fact that so much has happened to us over the past few years

[03:06] , it seems to me that the phenomenon of nostalgia has become much more widespread among the younger generation. head office? Nostalgia. It was about 30 seconds ago.

[03:20] Yes, that was the time. Nostalgia, you're up here a bit early. We still have about 10 years ahead of us. Two graduation parties. Best friend's wedding. In short, we'll call you, I promise. keep updated. Recently, a virus appeared on a liner,

[03:34] and some zoomers began to rejoice about it. That is, you see, it was like, wait a minute, this new ago, there were really idiots who were happy that a

[03:48] new pandemic was about to start. Alya, we will stay at home. How cool, we have a virus that promises terrible consequences. We went through this in 2020, but some people,

[04:00] bring back my 2020, glory to the virus hunt. Let's revive. I never would have remember the pandemic with warmth, that I would miss the virus that almost put me in quarantine . [ __ ], you dumb idiots. No, are you idiots or something? No, I understand

[04:15] that you were having a great time sitting at home, not going to school, and you were like, "Damn, I going to school, and you were like, "Damn, I don't have to do homework, how cool." Well, actually, this is [ __ ] cool. Many people from those times in general, well,

[04:28] I won’t even mention the fact that a shitload of people died . It's obvious, it's a tragedy. About the fact that many people have never leave the house. Because, well, when you sit at home for six months, in general,

[04:42] when you have an introverted mindset, for example, it’s even more difficult for you to return to society. I won't say anything Let's do it one more time, no [ __ ] way." We miss Covid and self-isolation.

[04:54] And it’s not that they are some kind of monsters, disgustingly horrible people. No, it's just that amidst all the chaos that's going on in our lives, we try to cling to something bright and good. And the brain can very often

[05:07] erase some negative memories. The activity and development of many Twitch streamers, YouTube, the videos that were released at the time, the TikTok trends that were everywhere, films, TV series, games, distance learning.

[05:21] Okay, 8:59 class in a minute. But, in principle, you can go and eat. Yes. Yeah, I'll go make some tea, anyway. Op, 9:20. Well, okay, just a little late. Okay, we'll make it now. Well, let's go. What kind of lesson is this? And algebra. No, man,

[05:33] all. In general, trash [music] has already connected. Yep. OK. Camera, damn it. Don't you think that the majority, well, in short, these problems that now terms of their education and outlook in general, is, well, the fact that it is of

[05:48] poor quality, this is the consequence of the fact that they simply drilled in schools. There is no see yours. Just a joke, in short, for understanding. Well, for me, school has always been about broadening my horizons. That is, you can, for example,

[06:00] be a complete [ __ ], get Cs, but you will still get some banal things into your head and use them even after many, many, many years. [snorts] Well, here they are , well, they are needed, you understand? They are

[06:14] needed. And in the case of distance learning, in essence, many missed a year. Sometimes it’s key for them , having forgotten about an important part of the material, which, well, really, well, needs to be remembered, for example. And I don’t have a camera, it broke the other day.

[06:26] Yes, yes. Yes, the cat ate it. Cat. So, what's next? Fizra nere. Well, imagine that you lose one year of your education. There is 100% a lot of . No, guys, what are you doing? Fine.

[06:42] Good morning, colleagues. Can you hear me? Has everyone connected or are we still waiting for someone? I've had Covid several times and overall it's been difficult. But remembering the year 2020, I remember my first trip to Thailand with my husband. I remember the tube

[06:57] streams, I remember the creative fervor I had. And we also have Melissa. But at the same time, for example, I don’t know when I remember my childhood and generally feel nostalgic for some reason. My first thought was, "[ __ ], I

[07:11] was young, and now I'm going to die soon." This is roughly how I think when I feel nostalgic. The thing is that before nothing hurt, everything was fine, but now I'm 30, which means I'll die soon, but then I was, let's say, 15 or 10. Then

[07:23] I probably wouldn't have died soon. This is the first position, if we recall what cool about my childhood. There were these chips. We collected a lot of good Shrek cartoons on TV, yes. But would I want to go back there now? Yes, to be

[07:37] honest, no. Not at all. It's a cool, cool feeling that things were easy back then. But I understand perfectly well how much bad stuff was going on at that moment. I was dependent on my parents. I couldn't watch these cartoons

[07:50] all the time. And that's why, in essence, I valued these moments when I could actually now, if I limit myself to certain things , and then I get because I get what I like. In fact, in this same location,

[08:04] some chocolate bar that I bought because I am constantly on diets. This is it, you understand, right? This [ __ ]. things. Well, for example, seventeenth, seventeenth, nineteenth year. For me,

[08:18] because I moved to Moscow and I met Nelya. Overall, they were quite comfortable, not counting some isolated tragic events, well, that's just for the country as a whole. Ah, there was the World Cup, a holiday,

[08:31] by the way, I would like to remind you that the World Cup in Russia was one of the best in recent times. In terms of how people came, fans from all over the world, and traveled on planes for pennies, these free

[08:43] train tickets, it turns out. Listen to the fans, everyone who invented here. By the way, I always found these funny. Here, our people, our authorities really love, when they organize some kind of global event, to make it so that

[08:56] everyone has a great time. Why the [ __ ] can't we do this to citizens? Like, [ __ ], let's make one of the best [ __ ] Olympics in history. Like Sochi, the Winter Olympics. Awesome. One of the best football players in the world. Eighteenth

[09:09] year. Guys, of course we were with ourselves . Should we blame I think not. Do you have this thing where you remember and think about how cool it was? This is a very popular problem that

[09:23] because Americans need it better. So, the currently having a World Cup, it's, well, in my opinion, I think many World Cups in terms of overall watchability. Questions for

[09:36] the court, for the court judges. These aquapauses are useless. I'm at the World Cup final, due to the performances of such and such artists, because this real grannies there. That is, that is, this

[09:49] football, more about money and advertising, past. We can regularly review photographs, [music], and perhaps films. We hear music. In general, everything reminds us of

[10:01] this. Oh, and 42 more teams. [ __ ], I'm talking World Championship. I'm like, "[ __ ], when will this end already? When will the really interesting matches start? When already? When will they [ __ ] play? You know,

[10:15] surprisingly, by the way, was an interesting match. Well, surprisingly, but in fact, for the most part, it's the signs there that are [ __ ] boring. From the category of Uzbekistan, Portugal. [ __ ], I always want to watch. No, by the way, no

[10:29] offense. The Uzbeks were probably really interested in seeing how they played against Ronaldo. But we are talking about a general sign there from the Portugal-I category. This is the sign. This is so cool. Is this what you want? France, England, Argentina

[10:43] England. As a rule, many Argentina-Portugal embellished. [music] And even those, ko instead, yeah, Germany, Curaçau, what the [ __ ] is this? Moreover, well, this policy of

[10:56] Infantile, damn, or like Infantina, I just call him infantile. Sorry, this is my personal joke. Here you go. Guys, let's increase the number of teams, yes, to sixty, so that everyone can take part in this world championship,

[11:09] yes. Let's just maybe then increase the quota for the strongest region, like Europe, because there are a shitload of strong teams in Europe, damn. That is, it should have looked awesome, the strong teams in Europe, damn. That is, it should have looked awesome, the

[11:24] Ukrainian national team would look awesome at this championship. It would look [ __ ] awesome . It would be nice to see who else we have there? Who haven't we had yet ? There was Switzerland, there was Austria. Well, and Ukraine flew in easily. Calm down, [ __ ]. No, Ukraine is a strong team, damn.

[11:38] It's just a [ __ ] fact. Ukraine [snorts] has a strong team. Well, it would be easy to see Georgia. Russia didn't get in for other reasons, guys, for other reasons. Well, overall, I think that our team is not that

[11:50] Thanks a lot to our government's policy regarding the RPL and sports, turns out, story for football players, so that they literally rot in bless them, [ __ ]. We only have a few football players who left

[12:05] somewhere, and only after the war started, until Golovin left, and even then he became just an like. No, with a policy like this, our football is [ __ ]. This is 100%. seemed like some kind of dramatic story. Ukrainian League, Ukrainians at least

[12:20] had some footballers abroad who won the Champions League there, like Zinchenko, for example. So you were just sitting there like, "Awesome." half of the teams. There was this guy playing at Westham, what was his name, Yarmolenko or something, I

[12:34] also forgot, half of the team was already running around the leagues somewhere there. his last match was in 2014, I think, or in 2012, I don’t remember. It's wait, and the twelfth. In the year twelve. In the twelfth year. In the twelfth

[12:47] story from some [music] country, this is absolutely normal. In short, [ __ ], if you want to increase the number of slots, increase Europe. because this is [ __ ] [ __ ]. No, just [ __ ] awesome.

[13:00] Well, well, there are strong teams in Europe that are the majority of, let's say that are the majority of, let's say , tough ones from Central because you [music] remember something that you have already lived through. And if you are still

[13:12] here and with us, then you have lived through it successfully. Plus, often represent [music] some kind of mega super interesting content. Even if you are now in the center of some events, you cannot

[13:24] therefore they do not seem so interesting to you. But even if you some incredibly interesting events, it may be very difficult for you to at them from the outside. Therefore, the things you have already experienced seem much

[13:36] more global to you. When I watched the cartoon Inside Out 2, I was interested in analyzing all the new feelings that appeared there. I also noticed nostalgia and decided to dig deeper. Just out of curiosity, I

[13:48] googled the definition of nostalgia on Wikipedia and looked at various reviews. And you know, I was quite surprised when I saw that this feeling was mostly described as negative. If we look at the typical

[14:02] standard definition from Wikipedia, nostalgia is a longing for one's homeland or syndrome, then it seems like something terrible. At first I didn’t understand why the definition specifically mentioned

[14:16] homesickness. In general, nostalgia can be about anything, whether it's fashion, movies, clothes, or friends. The whole point is that the I remember my time when I always used Avrilavin as my Steam avatar. Even VK, I

[14:29] I appeared again. I was a total fan of him. It was invented by a Swiss physician in the 15th century . I those, you know, fans of streamers or K-pop, who put avatars everywhere and

[14:42] turn on music. Only I am Vrillavin. Am I supposed to be a fan of Asian mukas? I describing diseases? Because I'm straight. [ __ ], there is no homesickness among soldiers [music] and students. But it seems to me that it is

[14:55] completely irrelevant. And the feeling of nostalgia itself is much more complex and multifaceted. At that time, nostalgia was believed to cause insomnia, loss of appetite, anxiety, depression, and decreased performance.

[15:07] 100%. 100% 100%. Nostalgia, when you sit, you essentially start to get upset at the moment, because things were better before. Because of this, you just what a piece of crap is reality, how cool it used to be, in some kind of crap.” Uh

[15:19] , yeah. Yes. So nostalgia is a cool tool. If you talk about him cool it used to be in terms of analysis, but he still makes you tilt. This is obvious. And

[15:34] it was treated as a disease. Today, psychologists are looking at But at the same time, an interesting fact is that people still really love nostalgia. They really get hooked on it. And if you look, most companies in general

[15:47] Disney, that's why it's the Urals. Maxim, and our You deny our masculinity. This did not happen. This did not happen. This did not happen. Disney actually built his career on this. Just a reminder,

[16:02] Disney has been pushing the nostalgia trend for the last 15 years because it sells like crazy. Other companies too, all sorts of gaming companies, instead of releasing something new, release sequels, endless threequels, and so

[16:18] on. Those same sequels of legendary franchises from the 2000s are returning. It's remembered, we had a game that went viral. The remakes are endless." This is

[16:30] literally all the nostalgia that is being resold. That's all, dear friends. Nostalgia is different, and I can’t help but be happy about it, [music] because nostalgia, besides the negative aspects,

[16:43] guys, even I sold on nostalgia, if anything. Let me remind you, I'm a reviewer of old games. Shitty, good, but old. You understand that this is essentially also aimed at an audience that is going to come in for some nostalgia. Hm.

[16:59] Mentov helps you feel connected to your past, survive difficult times, and feel connected to loved ones. And even at some moments, nostalgia can support your self-esteem. Nostalgia seems to

[17:13] combine the joy of pleasant memories with the sadness of the Poseiga has been feeling nostalgic for classic Sonic for 10 years now , without asking anything new or expanding the lore of the old Sonic. Well, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[17:26] Why is this being sold? It is impossible to return everything. If you decide, you can stand. Production.

[17:40] with us. Kumoto, the meaning of the phrase is like this [music] I'll blow away all my energy again

[17:52] imperial throne is too [ __ ] much let me finish watching. Have you ever noticed that in recent years we've been seeing not new films but remakes of old ones, even the same Harry

[18:06] Potter. The creators say that for the first time, S.E. S.E., a piece-piece forward, in turn, they want to make a series for a new generation, so that the atmosphere of the wizarding world can shake them up just like it did us in childhood. But it seems to me that everything is

[18:19] I think nostalgia is a bad feeling because the brain could forget the shitty moments in life, leaving only the good ones. Because of what? You think it was better before, even though there was a lot of [ __ ]. So why do people get stuck in the

[18:31] past? Partially, yes. Partially, yes. But people become more sentimental as they age, so it's just, well, impossible to completely eliminate. some people actually feel better thanks to nostalgia. Someone is

[18:45] [ __ ] right now, now you remember how it was before, and it seems to make you feel better, because you go back there for a second in your head to those very days." Some people, on the because why the hell is everything so crap now , and it was good before. It depends

[18:58] on the person. Nostalgia works completely differently for each type. It's just, well, that's part of life. Each of you is subject to nostalgia. Every. It's in Thinking. After all, in addition to attracting a new

[19:12] similarity. And [sighs heavily] I had these books, I had them. I had every single one of them. And, by the way, they are no longer there, . That's why I don't have any more of these editions, but I did have them

[19:26] books, they play on the feelings of nostalgia of millennials and late zoomers. So no matter who criticizes, I remember when I was given the first Harry Potter book, I was extremely disappointed when I first opened it, because I

[19:40] unfolded it, looked, and there were no [ __ ] pictures. I thought it was bang. I go up to my mom and say, "Mom, where are the pictures? Why is the cover so cool , but there are no pictures?" It's, well, some kind of corrupted version. says:

[19:54] "Maxim, you'll be shocked, but there really are a lot of books without pictures." I discovered a new world for myself then. Literally everything fell apart for me. I, like literally the began to come together again. I forged a series that will be released in December of

[20:09] 2026. Everyone will go see either it or reviews of it. Agree, it’s just a separate new project about some wizards. A world of magic wouldn't have attracted the same attention as a series based on a series of books and

[20:21] films that many people have loved since childhood. In addition, a couple of years ago and to this day, the 2K style became relevant again, even for those same smartphones. Back in 2020, Samsung released a flip phone that takes me back to my

[20:35] childhood. Apparently, eh, I don't know, actually. Heh, heh, heh. eh, I don't know, actually. Heh, heh, heh. Here. This really takes me back to my childhood, the 1910s and so on. These are

[20:48] really the kind of sliders, the products that Motorola is making now, trying to bring back that hype from the Razer V3 or Samsung - it's literally an attempt to simply occupy a market that doesn't exist, because phones

[21:01] have really moved to that obvious canon, namely bricks, everything where the only thing that changes is the position of the cameras. That is, this is simply an attempt to move the market a little somewhere. Again, referring to what was before, that is, sliders,

[21:15] clamshells. Do they resemble old phones, for example, no, only in concept. They still don't give that same vibe. They don't give any at all. Not at all. Visually, when they are laid out, they are still the same bricks, one to one.

[21:29] These phones, even in their clamshell format, looked unique, you know? My first dialer was exactly like this. That 's why I've been thinking about getting myself this folding bed for many years now. And all this is not because of

[21:42] some kind of functionality. No, but simply because of the nostalgic phone. I do n’t know, it’s as if they are nostalgic for cool if I knew when I was 18 and 19 years old. I'm 21 now, but when I was

[21:55] 11-12 years old, I would have had time to learn so many masterpieces during this time. I recently bought the omniscient reader collection and I'm still thrilled with it, even though it was very expensive. thrilled with it, even though it was very expensive. And this, by the way, is possibly a fact. Perhaps it is a

[22:08] fact, because there are a lot of things that you simply don’t want to read or watch because, it would seem, there is no time. What conclusion follows from everything that has been said previously [music]? It's all quite

[22:20] simple. Marketers have long since figured out how to monetize our nostalgia. By the way, it was better before, right? Let's put on glasses. I can feel nostalgic very often And I didn't write any comments. After all, then these people start to think that the past was

[22:33] better, and now they do everything badly. Became faces. Fallout fans still think the first two are better and can't accept the new ones. Well, this is essentially a little different. This is people's inability to analyze, you understand? If you

[22:47] use nostalgia purely as an emotion, that's one story. If you happened back then and perceive that it was better back then, even though it's purely physically impossible for the most part to be so, well, you're most likely just a fuck-up

[23:00] who's stuck in time. Do you see what the joke is? This is roughly the same story about football players. There are these really popular TikTok discussions going on right now, especially among the biggest idiots who sit there and argue,

[23:13] for example, that Yashin is a crap goalkeeper, overrated, because his Golden Ball is completely unfair, and so on and so forth. The same Pele, the same Maradona and a huge number of other football players

[23:25] who, it turns out, at some point in the last century became legends. And you sit there thinking: "[ __ ], you are such [ __ ] idiots. All the awards that are given out are time-based." That is, if you go back to those times, you will be shocked by the

[23:41] fact that by those standards he was a truly awesome goalkeeper. Can we say that awesome goalkeeper. Can we say that he is the best at Noera, conditionally right now? How do you compare? Two periods of time. That is, from the point of view of,

[23:53] if we put Noer and Yashin in our time now , would Noer win, for example? Yes, most likely. And if Noera , without the knowledge that they have now, thanks to the development of football, were to remove them and return to the times of Yashin, who do you think would

[24:07] win? But here is a huge question. After the fact, it’s easy to determine the level of football is rising and the players are becoming much cooler. But this does not mean that it was better then or is better now. This means that during that

[24:21] period of time, specifically during that period, this player was playing his best football. Everything, only from this position. And it would seem that this is an obvious they simply cannot analyze it. It would seem like such a simple thing that this video just doesn’t

[24:36] , based on my nostalgia for running this channel, because before now the norm, but back then there was no norm. It's the same thing if you translate it there, I don't know, into the language of people who are OK, let's

[24:49] translate it into a simpler language. Once upon a time, physicists who were the first standards they would probably have been at the level of seventh-graders. So, it turns out that these physicists are idiots or something? Well, it turns out that way

[25:02] according to your logic, doesn't it? Turn on the camera and express your thoughts on it and then upload it to YouTube. Now I'm very afraid of it. I'm not even scared to imagine that I'll take a camera, set it up, and start

[25:15] recording something. I find fault with myself, with my appearance. One cannot judge any individual in history outside the context of the time in which he existed. It's just [ __ ] wrong, you know? Now you understand why the [ __ ] a

[25:30] billion [ __ ] on TikTok aren't buying this. Which one? I don't understand. I look forward to my speech. This happens all the time. I've already filmed two videos for this channel with Rusya, and you won't see these videos. Everything used to be simpler, even in this, you see, it was

[25:44] simpler. For example, I was involved in running this channel and could express what I thought. Now, when there are so many show-blogger projects on YouTube that have reached such a level, you look at them and think: “What can I bring

[26:00] to YouTube?” Yes, I have contributed thousands of reactions that you may come across years later, but I am well aware that this is not exactly what I wanted to share. I would still like to reveal other topics from my life.

[26:16] and be nostalgic. Damn, today's average schoolchild is more versed in philosophy than he was in the old days. There are no brackets. [ __ ], by the way, seriously, I don’t know, I don’t know, it’s complicated. It's difficult to discuss anything with you. Nostalgia

[26:31] , well, the fact that, say, our modern generation, there, if you were to send it back 10 centuries, I’m sure you would look like some kind of geniuses . I am 100% sure of this. Simply the smartest people on the planet. Although, it would

[26:45] seem, b, you idiot. If we take you guys, do you understand what the at least me, you will be burned because they will think that you are scenario is, in principle, realistic. By the way, well, I suspect that some of

[26:58] you, just like me, thought about what would happen if you, let’s say, found yourself, fifteenth or fourteenth century. What will you do? How will you use the knowledge you now have? But in fact, you, well, don’t have

[27:12] know what will happen in the future. This is also such a cheat. Yes, at that time it would be super knowledge, by the way. And in fact, you know some basic things in science. And for that time, he was just a [ __ ] genius. Well, well, well, well, well. You are the

[27:26] brain. You, you are a legendary figure. You are the absolute worst know what will happen in the future. You know some basic science, basic things. You were well- read, more or less, for those times , a [ __ ] genius. It

[27:41] king or the king himself. And a huge you are now a C-grade student. I am now thinking about many of you. We remember what we were like. And they say that you shouldn’t compare yourself with

[27:54] other people, but you should compare yourself with yourself from the past. And I, connecting this nostalgia of my own for myself from the past, understand that yes, I was you won’t even be able to communicate with them, since the language was different. Well, by the way,

[28:09] yes, there are these jokes there that the language has changed over time, so purely technically. Okay, let's add a conditional condition, that you can communicate. can communicate, or the language hasn't changed that much. Well, you were so lucky,

[28:21] some place where, well, it’s roughly the same language. Here is a condition, for example, to butterfly effect. I don't think you'll even notice it because you'll probably

[28:35] I think you're a [ __ ] and they'll either eat you up or humiliate you. Okay, then additional conditions. Vovik, you find yourself in the past with a gun, because then strength decides 100% they will believe you in any case, because force decides. He who has the gun is

[28:49] cartridges. Obviously with cartridges. When I talk about a gun, obviously you have a running out of ammo. Infinite ammo. Infinite ammo. [ __ ], then I'll capture all the people on the planet. I'll just go

[29:01] somewhere with a gun. I will beat everyone to hell and I will unite everyone. I will make one great state with a pistol. endless ammo. This is imba. You just come there, I don’t know, to Rome, and this guy comes to you

[29:15] half-naked, wrapped in a towel . You just, he says, like, pistol. And you shoot through the straw, you have an army budget there, you screwed everyone. They are still f*cked up, they don't cover their faces. They always have a hole right here,

[29:27] just bam-bambam-bam or in the neck of each one. That's it, what will they do? And they can throw a spear at you. Fine. Addendum. Addendum. You're in power armor that can never be pierced by a spear. Here. Here are the additional words. Addendum.

[29:42] You have a pistol with finite ammo and power armor that will never be fantasy of taking a couple of phones, going back in time and then from that time skipping to the future and seeing how the world would change.

[29:55] And I know what would have happened, well, in short, the same theory was carried out in Griffins. Then I went, it turns out, into the past or something like that and found myself in a world where there is no religion. And it turned out that they are much more advanced in development than

[30:08] our time. And in fact, it’s all well and good to laugh , but, to be honest, there is a certain logic to it. This is laughter, laughter. Because if you look at history, it's hard to deny the fact that, uh, religious movements have

[30:22] slowed down development in one way or another. In 1543 in Holland, what will happen in the next 100 make, honestly? Maybe we should discover the steam engine or electricity? I doubt I discover the steam engine or electricity? I doubt I

[30:36] electric light bulb? [ __ ], I got it. I'll come up with a grammar exemption. Lightning rod? How to do it? Come up with it. Well, what is this one called? I have a light feeling. In the past you will become an artist. Dot dot dot. Grow your hair out. You'll lose a

[30:50] testicle. Uh, no, no, no, well, there's nothing to do with lightning rods. The railroad on this, what is this thing called? On a video is this anyway? About nostalgia. About nostalgia. In the 15th century, a man was

[31:03] other planets like Earth. But he didn't have a gun or an infinite force shield, so he died. It will make a huge difference to me. I'm not... Well, I'm more more ve. We still need resources, but we'll go in with a

[31:18] problem? You had more motivation in yourself, you had more purpose. I came up with an idea. In short, I'll come with a gun to the regions that will be super profitable in terms of resources in the future. You can easily say

[31:33] create your own rules and Bible. By the way, it's an option. And then, after some time, I will sell resources to other countries, and my children will become billionaires. This is absolutely brilliant. I'm going to go to the UAE, take their place, I'm going to go to Saudi

[31:48] Arabia, take their place, I'm going to go there, I won't say where, in short, I'll just take all the resources. That's all. Awesome, just awesome. aspirations. And the world, the events in it, the events in my personal life. There were quite a few of them.

[32:02] . The main thing is that there is also a power shield. Few. There are some things I share with you , and some I don’t. All this seemed to break me inside and out over the course of these years. And I literally see a puzzle that was previously assembled or was

[32:19] close to being assembled completely, and now it’s broken. And the puzzle is missing pieces. It’s as if you can’t live like before, but you also don’t understand how easy it is to just take and strive for this ephemeral bright

[32:33] future. You seem to be an adult, but you feel like a blind kitten who doesn’t understand where to go next. What kind of person am I? What do I want from life? What will I do next? These questions arise in your head, but

[32:48] you simply cannot answer them. I do n't understand what to do with this. And I see la, I have such thoughts after I want. By the way, I begin to analyze the world around me in much the same way. Yes, I'm not the only one. I go on TikTok, and

[33:01] I often see videos of young guys and girls who are Adulthood probably unlocked new emotions. That's right. Hi, I'm depressed. But we already had sadness. Yes, but I will not be with you for a

[33:14] day, but for a couple of months or years. Oh look, it's an existential crisis. Hello. Hello. What does this mean in the grand scheme of things? Why do I live and who am I? OK. What about our social battery? And now she is like this for us.

[33:28] I'm done. We also began to fear for the future. homeless. Who will I be in 5 years? Hippochondria. What is this point? We have And who is this? Apathy. Is there anything

[33:42] good? Certainly. Hey, come in. Okay, now move away. Hey, unhealthy love for those who don't deserve it was caused. she gets cancelled for this. It did n't sound. I'm glad I'm not alone,

[33:56] because the whole world is going crazy, and you're going crazy in your own way, and you okay. What happened to the srtkeeper? [laughter] understand, unfortunately. That's why I'm turning to this, it's

[34:11] local. to you. Here I am conveying my feelings. And if you feel something like this, then everything is fine. Let's shake hands and realize that we are all in the same boat. While I was looking for materials for this video, I accidentally

[34:25] came across a video by a psychologist, and I felt a little calmer after her words, so I want to share it with you. Yes, you are not afraid of the future, you are afraid of Yes, you are not afraid of the future, you are afraid of your reaction to this future. The

[34:39] I'll die. How can I be afraid of my reaction to this future? Well, like, I'll die, but I'll die and I won't give a [ __ ]. Or I'm afraid to die. Am I afraid of dying? I guess I'm afraid. Is this what you mean? Well, yes, I'm afraid of dying.

[34:53] You control, analyze, try to find a solution for any problem . Yes, yes, I was looking to see if it was possible, in short , to freeze me until I died. I really, in short, have an

[35:07] option. I found it. They might freeze you and then thaw you out someday, but thaw you out, my dear friends. Do you understand? There's a chance they won't unfreeze you because you don't believe that the version of you that finds yourself in this situation will be

[35:21] able to withstand it, endure it, and not break. But, b, it is impossible to foresee everything, it is impossible to be prepared for everything. And yes, bad things can and will happen because that's just

[35:36] part of the contract with this young life. Well here's what you can do. You can start to cultivate the belief that somewhere in the future there is a version of you that in the future there is a version of you that can sort out any hoo [laughter]

[35:50] can sort out any hoo [laughter] that's impossible. I swear, every time you think: "Well, that's it, I've seen such [ __ ], it ca n't get any worse than this." 5 years go by and you're like, "Okay." It turns out that things can be worse. Dear

[36:02] friends, life is a funny situation in this regard, because every time it gives you performances that you couldn’t even imagine in the plot of some complete nonsense. This will become your support. Well, you say:

[36:15] well, could you imagine, for example, 5 years ago, what is happening now?” Well, even if we take the political aspect into account, it becomes a moment. No, of course not, [ __ ], you were sitting there like, I don't remember, you know what I was doing 5 years ago, dear friends,

[36:28] I clearly remember, I was sitting at karaoke with Lex, drunk as [ __ ], and we sang, I want to go to Thailand. But basically, [ __ ], nothing has changed, by the way. I also difference is that I'm not drunk now. Well,

[36:44] . How do I know I can handle it? And I'll tell you about this. Nothing. The fact that you are scrolling the feed right now probably means that you have already lived some life on this earth and probably at least one

[36:57] pizza has already happened in it, and you somehow survived it. And in terms of resources, you [music], access to information and knowledge that there are psychologists who, if anything, you can turn to for support. [music] You don't

[37:12] have to be prepared for everything. You just have to remember that no matter what happens, you will cope as best you can. On my own behalf, I would also like to add that you can always turn to friends and family for support . It’s just that very often we think that we are

[37:27] left alone with our problem, although there are people nearby who can support and help. When we live in chaos, we must bring at least a little bit of order into our lives . That is, to influence what

[37:40] . That is, to influence what we can influence. And with this video I influence myself. Damn, I sound like some weird girl. Although I don’t know, not post anything. I thought for so long about whether to post this video or not

[37:53] that I filmed it a couple of months ago, [music] and you are only seeing it now. But I want this video to encourage myself, [music] and you, and to understand that nostalgia can be used as something good. Understand that if you

[38:06] can change something, then change it. To what extent is it possible, and what ca n’t you change? As sad as it may sound, sometimes you just have to come to terms with it. This is pi,

[38:19] So I don’t know. It seems to me that, in short, this video could have been made twice as short. Here is my opinion. It's like they short. Here is my opinion. It's like they choked me a little bit, as if.

[38:31] Andryusha, my dear, tell me, can you do something about this problem? No, I ca n't do anything. Have you done everything to solve it? Yes, I did everything I could. Well then why the [ __ ] are you bothering? What? What? [ __ ] happens. Well, should I

[38:46] position. Many people, when something happens to them , they find themselves in this trap where it feels like life is over. Although in reality, well, nothing special happened. You just screwed up somewhere, some

[39:00] situations happened that made you feel shitty, but life doesn’t end there, unless, then try to kill you. But that's another story. That's another story. We're talking about some banal, everyday things, you know?

[39:14] No, the sun is shining, so there is something to eat. Okay, let's go enjoy life. Be the same positive. This is an interesting topic. Some people go to the surgeon to go under the knife, while others accept themselves as they are. I don't

[39:26] see anything wrong with plastic surgery. I'm thinking of fixing my nose myself, maybe something else . Well, as you can see, I have n't decided on that yet. But at the same time, some things, both in oneself and in life, seem to need to be accepted. Here, for example, is a

[39:39] family. We choose it, right? Right. Some people, of course, refuse it, but at the same time, from my own experience I can say that if you currently have a bad relationship with your family, then in the future everything can be corrected and

[39:51] nine years ago [music] that I would have a good relationship with my parents, I wouldn’t have believed it and would have been pleasantly surprised. And now, yes, we live at a distance, but at the same time our relationship is much warmer than it was before.

[40:05] , I see such feelings, such an attitude from my parents towards myself say, a note. I have never seen anything like this [music] before. Although there are many negative things in life has some positive aspects. [music]

[40:20] not notice them. That is, we pay attention to the negative, but very looking back at mm, this is true. It's true, general negative emotions are much stronger than positive ones. That's why they

[40:36] bother you more. They take you out of this position of comfort, returning you to stress. And that's why you consider her, as it turns out, in short, you perceive her . And positivity, well, on the contrary, it adds comfort to you, so you

[40:49] attention to it, because it’s, well, it’s supposed to be like that. Actually , that's how it works. How I weighed 5, 10 kg less and considered myself fat. Stupid. Even though I'm not super fat now

[41:01] , I've gained a little bit. It's funny how we can sometimes blame ourselves for something in the past, but in the future we think how cool we were. You are the most [ __ ] awesome. You [ __ ] understand,

[41:16] nostalgic about in our future old age. I don’t know who will be where, but I wish for everyone to be [laughter] somewhere on the seashore or somewhere near a you would like to spend your retirement [music] in the comments. I wish this for everyone. I

[41:31] understand that this is unrealistic, but I still want to wish you this bright future and, accordingly, motivate you right now to create cool nostalgic memories that will haunt you in your

[41:44] now you can go have fun, have a great time, make a video, take photos in order to remember this moment, capture it and then years later look at yourself in the past. I have this, by the way, yes, there is

[41:59] a certain joke in this. [snorts] Sometimes I watch my old videos and I'm like, "Wow, cool." Dear friends, in my opinion, from the age of 12 to 17 there are almost no , they say, "Please

[42:13] the past, but I don't have those photos. I simply don't have anything to publish works much better when you attach some kind of bright photo, advertising integration. And I attached the same photo several times. Yes, I

[42:27] really, really didn’t like myself back then . It was a difficult time, a transitional age. But now, years later, it would be nice to look at myself, unsure of myself, unkempt, not having yet found my style and my

[42:41] turned out. It's very random. Surprisingly, I had few splices. I stutter. No, by the way, from my old videos, scumbag. To be honest, I don’t understand. And you know, I

[42:56] recorded half of my videos with this kind of presentation. Alya Hello everyone, dear friends. Today can’t even repeat it. In short, I somehow suppressed my voice too much and it looked like this, as if I was a positive voice. That is to say, it is very

[43:10] strange. Wait a minute, I'll even try to show you. Just a second, just a second. Shrek is a don’t even show us anything unique here . As a result, all control ends up on moving, jumping and hitting. Although to this gameplay

[43:23] little doodads - these little doodads and stuff like that. Dear friends, I can say that here I behave more confidently. And I just set up a camera, brought the people into the room, they might have been walking around in the background,

[43:37] Miliska seemed to be visible, and I just said what I thought. In general, write what you think, is this relevant on modern YouTube. Also, please Yes, write a comment, like, subscribe, that's all, dear friends. That's

[43:51] all. You wanted to sit big with the Cuban fashion night wai. [music] I thought I found my paradise. Well then why are you so lonely? You wanted to run Sitil. Ah

[44:05] lonely? You wanted to run Sitil. Ah .
