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

A guy referred to my carry gun as 'old fashioned', it's a Sig P226R.

You need a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

This has likely been said before. But hearing music I listened to in middle/high school being sued in grocery stores

(Idk how the grocery store got my playlist but they need to give it back)

I'm old enough to remember when mothers kept their children away from pedo-trannies, instead of feeding them to Trans Moloch

That 90s Show., which I just heard about. Hope it dies a quick and ignominious death.

 

[Bepis]

Every time somebody online calls something "old" or "retro" or "nostalgic". I end up thinking to myself "It's not THAT old, is it? It came out pretty recently" and then it hits me it was 9-10 years ago.

You'd think they'd have learned their lesson from That 80s Show...

 

[TV's Adam West]

I was listening to the fucking radio and it was playing hip hop and played a song I remembered blasting in school and it ends
The fucking DJ says "that's a classic right there. Rap from your daddy's era!"

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

If I want to be reminded that I am old I just think about how one of my cousins is married with babies and another just got married. Time goes by fast.

 

[Sharkbait]

A supermarket chain I grew up with closed down over a decade ago and I still miss some of their store brands.

I find that it's getting harder and harder to extract even the slightest joy out of anything

Yes, although schadenfreude at Alec Baldwin's latest misadventure has made me extremely gleeful for now.

 

[Speakeasy Electric]

My first memory is my dad and I on our couch and him telling me that it was the year 2000 at midnight and that we were lucky to see it.

I also remember 9/11, we got sent home from kindergarten.

I’m 25.

I miss Adult Swim. Home Movies, Dr Katz, Cowboy Bebop. I miss 90s Startrek. I miss Married with Children. They just don’t make em like they used to.

I'm just living for revenge at this point.

I missed that one. I did sit through half of Joey. Although, even on Friends, the character seemed to be getting a bit more flustered and clumsy towards the end, which carried on into the spinoff. Total lobotomy.

Brad Jones reviewed both shows. He is pretty charitable toward Joey but barely makes it through 80's Show.

 

[TV's Adam West]

Fuck it. Got a few more.

I was talking about GTA 3 getting remaster and one of my coworkers says that he never played it because it's too old.

Not getting carded for buying cigars is a big one. I don't look that old. Do I?

Going through my old stuff and finding my fucking Zune.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

I also have a few more:

I just felt old just now by seeing the mention of That 80's Show and remembering that I used to watch that regularly (and actually enjoyed it) when it was new.

Sometimes I forget my age, I don't know if it's a sign of getting old.

Hearing people talk about how they were 4 years old, babies, or little kids when my favorite movie was new and being one of the few in the group who was old enough to see it in the movie theater as a teenager. Nothing makes me feel older than ''I was 5 back then.''

Me talking about something random I grew up on or enjoyed and them having no idea what I'm talking about.

When you stand up and your body makes a noise you've never heard before and you say to yourself "What the fuck was that?!"

 

[SITHRAK!]

I've got a tiny area two inches right of the tip of my tailbone that starts hurting if I do too much lifting or merely just moving around for whatever reason. I have about five minutes to heed that warning. If I keep doing what I'm doing, the pain radiates all the way across my pelvis, and also up into my back which seizes up, down my buttock and into my thigh, and I spend the next ten hours in intense pain before everything starts to loosen up again. I'm only just shy of forty, but this shit makes me feel sixty.

That’s called Sciatica (after the nerve affected, the sciatic, longest nerve in the human body) and you should talk to your doctor about it. A Chiropractor may also be able to help.
It can also indicate a number of other issues so don’t fuck about with it.
EDIT: added link and last line.

 

[Haltmann]

I now understand the appeal of golf and fishing.

 

[AnOminous]

The fact that there are people now walking around as adults with no real memory of pre-9/11 life or understanding of its historical significance and how fucking fascist everything got overnight. And we're catering to these ignorant fruitcakes.

Also when taking a shit feels like an actual accomplishment.
