Being born in the late 1900s sucks. Young enough to remember nature existing, too young to have fully appreciated it.

I miss the birds I'd hear at 6 am after a marathon runescape session circa 2008. I miss lizards. I miss bugs. I miss seeing life during my day but I didn't care about it when I could.

Remember kids, Lenin was nicknamed "Old Man" by his fellow revolutionaries. In his 20s.

yells-at-cloud We had better music and our TV shows weren't breaks between Pharma ads!

[–] MaeBorowski@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Our music was better, yes, but or TV shows absolutely were just breaks between Pharma ads. As a kid in the 90s I remember despising having to wait through seemingly endless obnoxious fucking commercials (never understood why no one else around me really seemed to mind that much). And every single show would make like a mini cliff hanger for the very purpose of cutting to ads at that moment. God that pissed me off, totally destroyed any tension that they might have built. But now, since the advent of adblockers, I haven't watched media interrupted by commercials (at least of the non-diagetic kind) in well over a decade. Maybe the commercials and time lengths are worse now, but I wouldn't know because I can simply choose not see them. A godsend.

you kids talk about the fifteen recessions you've been through so far like you've seen something, but have you heard of 18% interest rates on mortgages?

Smdh, kids too young to have participated in The Long March are posting now. I feel old

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Back in my day you just had to ask to the old man how to catch a pokémon, fly to cinnabar island, swim around near the coast, catch missingno and then you had infinite slurp juice to use on your pokémon

Now I am the old man and none of you know what I'm talking about flattened-bernie
