People my age complaining about stuff that kids like or find funny.
It sounds exactly the same as all the bitching I remember about the things I liked as a kid: that this stuff is stupid, harmful, will rot my brain and that the next generation has no future because some of them laugh at something that MATURE ADULTS don't find funny. Imagine someone writing off an entire generation of people because of a couple of videos about a man sticking out his head out of the toilet, absolutely deranged behavior.

I used to have seen this shit all of the time within those mountains of starterpacks on Reddit when nostalgia and childhood is the theme. No, the PS2 was not released in 2006, that was when you discovered it, retard. Just an example.

This is why whenever I cite a year on something, I actually try to look it up first. Because it's fucking embarrassing to base some argument on what year something happened and because of impending senility it's totally wrong.

I find alot of dumb shit funny but a lot of things Gen Z or Gen A find funny just doesn't click with me on any level. Like on some universal level, people of all ages and backgrounds can agree from a certain merit that a joke or scene from some movie or show is funny. Stuff like old Looney Tunes skits or songs or jokes from animated movies. My dad used to rarely laugh and never smiled in photos but he actually softened up a bit on shows I watched as a kid. I still remember him wheezing from the pie explosion scene in Spongebob, after anticipating it for the whole episode or finding slapstick in shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy funny. Like I genuinely don't know if kids have an equivalent of these kinds of interactions beyond shit like Tiktok, youtube shorts, internet celebrities etc.

I find the pearl clutching over Skibidi Toilet retarded. It's a singing head in a toilet, not a nuclear explosion. I think some people are too engaged with internet's various hiveminds to think about what they are mindlessly reacting to.

I've watched some of it and while it's definitely not for me, I respect the way the creator started with a cheap shitpost and ended up spinning it into a media empire. And honestly, many of the complaints against it are rather similar to the ones I used to hear about shows like Aaaahhh! Real Monsters! when I was a sprog. The more things change...

$10 or even $20 for a REALLY REALLY GOOD burger isn't unreasonable, but not much goyslop is that. Like a Culver's Deluxe triple is a bit over $10 but well worth it and basically a whole day meal. You don't need to eat too much else.

Just make sure to get it without the pickles. I usually love them, but there's is something truly wrong with their pickles.

I experienced something similar. It seemed time moved very slowly up to the age of 12 with days and weeks dragging on and summer vacations being an awesome period of extended downtime and fun adventures.

I've read that time flies when you're not being challenged. And workplace challenges aren't challenges: Being forced to suffer PE as a kid or having to learn a third language at school made every tuesday fucking miserable. Your day went up and down. Regardless of your job, chances are it's the same shit every day. The only way you'd experience something as up/down in a workplace is like, your first month as an international something-or-other consultant being tossed around, and in that case you live it around the clock. Facing hardships in schools you still had to live a normal life outside of it. Suffer, reward, sleep, repeat. Most jobs have no ups and downs, it's a constant dull.

Went to a cafe recently and wanted to say how they play popular music, only to realize none of that music was popular for years. I wonder what the music topping the charts in the early 2010s will be called, apart from garbage marginally better than garbage we have now.

There's a decent subreddit called like, zelennials for this kinda blogging. One guy said he went to a frat house and they play the exact same music as 10 years ago: MISTA WOH'WIDE, Beyonce etc. Sure, we too played old music but this is like.. music way past its 'oldies'. Classic Rock doesn't include 2017 songs. It's still 90s shit. It's as if we collectively stopped moving on 10 years ago if not more.

It's somehow even worse here. I joke that some clubs act as if the world ended in 1991 instead of just Yugoslavia with how they exclusively play 60s-80s rock music. And the saddest part is that there's a lot of good rock music since, but because they aren't topping the charts and played on the radio every other hour nobody cares.

That's another thing that infuriates me, whenever I talk with people how bad modern popular music is they usually don't know anything about new small bands that still make good stuff. None of the alternative / rock cafes or bars or whatever help promote them by playing their songs. It always ends with them saying old thing good and just playing whatever 70s/80s playlist they find online. And I'm not judging people for liking old stuff, like half of my favorite bands / songs are old enough to be in a midlife crisis, but good music doesn't grow on trees and succeed on its own. What if for every 3 clubs that play crappy techno remixes of nigger music you had one that plays any of a number of current and active metal bands throughout Europe, or new bands with 3 digit subscribers on youtube trying to bring back something good, or making something brand new? Yeah the billboard and other charts would still be suicide inducing, but at least there would be some pushback, people would experience a wider array of genres, they might acquire better taste, and it will encourage people to make more music that isn't just noise slop.

Thread tax: while talking with some newbie to a community I'm in I thought how much funny shit he missed out on, entire drama sagas about things that literally don't exist anymore. He surprised me knowing some meme from 2019, at first I thought he just randomly made it up on his own but someone sent him the thread that started it all and he got to experience it at least by proxy. Some kids are alright.

Something I'd advise anyone to do is start from some thing you like. Learn about who made it. Who influenced that person? Who did they consider worth emulating? It's kind of amazing to do one of these deep dives over a several year period and realize you started with some currently living novelist and going back to their influences, and the influences of their influences, eventually you're reading some ancient Greek from two thousand years ago.

Does your city have noise ordinances (eg - improperly maintained exhaust)?

If so please stop encouraging him to be a mobiles nuisance. No one thinks it's cool or awesome, and most would rather run him off the road.

Fortunately for him, most of us have impulse control.

Unfortunately, some don't...

my dad's coming into town this week, and I just got done pirating a copy of new Last Of Us for the wife
HBO logo comes up and it reminds me of how when I was a kid our cable box had a dial. over thirty channels!
and if you stuck a bend piece of cardboard into the box it would trip the switches inside if you wiggled it JUUUUST right and get you HBO/Showtime,, so my parents had a library card stuck in it 24/7
they also had piles of reel-to-reel tapes of pirated copies of music, decades before spindles of mp3s on CD-Rs
