Shit that reminds you that you’re getting old - Re: Fwd: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fwd: Damn young’uns

Was working along with a new start who is early 20s, I crack a joke and he responded with "lol"

I mean, I've seen people of all ages do this, it's not age, it's just cringe

While I grudgingly acknowledge the passage of time, shall never acknowledge growing old.

I note the passage of time largely by reading obituaries of people I knew or knew of. 50th high school reunion is this summer, many I went to school with pushing up daisies, some for decades. Haven't attended a single reunion, see no reason to go a couple of thousand miles to hang with a bunch of old people I have literally nothing in common with.

The body ages, but inside I still feel much like a little kid. Wearing the Gumby sweatshirt today, a favorite.

Had some teens and their mother stay over one time. Most of them were boys pretending to be girls, or girls pretending to be boys. One was a munchie with a wheelchair. She would walk when she was sick of sitting down. One of them was obsessed with BTS and she wanted to be a male Kpop star. They rarely showered. On their phones half the time. When they got onto the console in the lounge room they would watch some VR comedy roleplay series on youtube. The rest of the time they were playing fortnite. They spent all their money and their mothers money on Fortnite, sometimes they wouldn't be able to afford food because of it. None of them went to high school. One earnt some side cash training 12 year olds in Fortnite.

I've recently seen people posting "GTA 5 nostalgia" unironically.

When you're a pall bearer three times in a single year and two of the times, the dude in the coffin was younger than you.

Napoleon Dynamite was made in 2004, which was 18 years ago

Getting eyes from women who are clearly mid-30s, approaching 40 on the street. I'm early 30s myself, but don't feel like it at all. Blows my mind sometimes.

When just having a normal bowel movement feels like a gift from God. Laugh if you like, but you're not too far from this yourself.

I was obsessed with the Spice Girls when I was little and I played the Spiceworld album nonstop when it came out. I still have that CD for memories and it’s over twenty years old.

My daughter was rooting through a pile of my old stuff and when we found my Gameboy Advance SP.

She thought it was a broken Galaxy Z Flip and when I showed her how to turn it after charging it. She commented that the lower half of the screen was broken.

i feel old

Pretty but painful. Like most UK pop from that era.

By the year 2025 half of the 1990s will be as far away from us as the 1950s where from the 80s. And the 80s will be even further away.

1955-1985 30 years
1995-2025 30 years
1985-2025 40 years.

yes I was thinking about/watching back to the future when I realized this.

I'm seeing jackass forever in theaters and was reminded that I was in the same theater watching the original in my teens back in 2002.

I found a receipt for a Gateway desktop from Circuit City.

Remember that chain?

I found a receipt for a Gateway desktop

Our family's first Windows PC was a Gateway 2000, back when they still went by that name. It was Win 3.0 so probably around 1991.

I remember sitting near the desktop for warmth with those big towers.

When I had to get an ebike. Normally I'm a pretty regular hybrid cyclist (but not quite CRAZY LYCRA PSYCHO) and I had to go for a 30 mile ride with some younger friends and they then seriously said, "perhaps you should get an ebike"

(On the up-side I then built an ebike that was powered four times the legal limit and now I fly past them....)

When I overhear some new music that I hate, then I look it up and learn that this new music is over 10 years old and the singer is dead.

We used to have an old Hewlett Packard. Goddamn those things were loud.
