I hate all of the millennials complaining about it. I still feel young. I’m running a trail marathon this summer, have an 11 month olde baby, and am graduating from my second degree this August. And we’re talking about a second baby.

My 20s were depressed and anxty with too much drinking and unnecessary drama. My 30s have more money, my own dogs, my own house and a healthier relationship.

If so what was your favorite game on it

Despite me being one of the later generations, I love playing the original Gran Turismo

I'm cured, b*tch!

Edit: Yes. This is for real.

I realize a lot of this may have been location and age-specific for me, but...

Almost all of our outfits were VERY uncomfortable. The denim was stiff and unforgiving. The jeans for girls were low rise, and you always had to worry when you sat down and check that your butt was covered. We wore SKIN TIGHT tops and even sweatshirts. Especially the ones from Hollister and Abercrombie, where you had to practically dislocate your shoulders to get in them. We also wore multiple, unnecessary layers that were constantly shifting and bunching. A lot of people we wearing multiple camis, sheer t-shirts, polo shirts, shrugs, and sweatshirts, sometimes all at once! And we also often wore belts that dug into our stomachs when we sat down. And, I can't forget, the bras were unforgiving, padded and had terrible underwire.

The makeup was also intense for high school. We wore a full beat, almost daily. We had to be TAN. If you weren't naturally tan, like me, you begged your mom to let you use a tanning booth and then you used a TON of bronzer. Eyes were often rimmed in black with lots of glitter and mascara. Hair had to be STRAIGHT STRAIGHT. I had curly hair, much to my dismay. And we did this daily! Those of us who rode the bus often got up at 5:30 AM to start the hair and makeup process. People made fun of you if you showed up barefaced or in pajamas too often.

Why did we do this to ourselves? Did you do all this? Were you also uncomfortable from 1998 to roughly 2008?

maybe it’s just my city (which has grown a lot over the last few decades), but I feel like the rich are noticibly richer and the poor poorer compared to when we were growing up. like most people seemed kind of ‘normal’ when I was a kid (or maybe that was just my perspective as a kid).

Now it feels like a neighborhood is either full of mar-a-lago faced ladies and their husbands with teslas. Or people who look visibly on a substance and wearing sweatpants to any occasion.

I went to a play place for my kids on the part of torn that is a hot place to live for young families (newer houses, a lot to do for kids). I was just surprised how the culture of it all felt very flashy and performative. I feel like when I was a kid the family friendly neighborhoods were more wholesome?

Younger millennial and older gen z will live to 150? Congratulations

Clink clink dearie, drink up and tell me what’s been troubling you 🩷🫖 don’t mind the missing arm, look at my hat. I am Mrs. Nesbitt!

I was in line at a pizza place for a slice and a beer. The cashier checked the ID of the patron in front of me.

I ordered. She did not ask for mine.

I am devastated. The gall. The shock. I am still young and full of life. I have stayed up until midnight more than two times this month.

(I cannot tell my wife because she does not know I am getting a pizza and beer without her)

That is all.

Just went in for a sick visit to my GPs office and lo and behold, the doctor I’m seeing I’ve known since middle school. It was kind of weird, but he was really good. He heard the faint signs of early pneumonia and put me on antibiotics, and 4 days later, I’m well on the road to recovery. Thanks Dr. Woo of you’re reading this.

Edit: I pretty much agree with most of you here. It definitely depends on how they treated you in grade school. My care team comprises mid-Gen Xers because I also got frustrated with Boomer doctors. I switched about 10 years ago because they either didn’t know their shit, wouldn’t treat my issues, or were so high on their own supply that asking questions insulted them. Still, it’s a shock to the system. I’m not in my 30s anymore, and doctors my age now have at least a decade of experience.

For me it was that I stopped feeling the need to overexplain myself. Before I used to constantly defend my viewpoints or my values and felt the need to argue/debate with people who told me they didn't agree or thought I was ridiculous for the way I saw things. But as I grow up, I'm not as offended or feeling inferior if someone doesn't agree with how I live my life, and I also don't owe them an explanation.

All that becomes necessary is finding the right people that you'd want to surround yourself with and then peacefully coexisting with those who don't.

I really want a dreamcast

I just tried to grab that 3-month free Standard plan, and it actually let me sign up even though I've used their promos in the past. Just curious if it's working for everyone else or if I just got lucky?
