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

Every time I see people talking about Roblox, I feel old because I never played it.

Same with Minecraft which shocked someone once when I told them.

I remember when my friend showed me Minecraft when it was on beta. Told him it would suck and would be nich at best.

Waking up with an achy back.

Another thing that makes me feel old.

In my 20s when I first saw Clerks, I just thought it was cool.

Now at my age I'm like "wow, look at those cigarette prices in the 90s."

I'm also at that age where I actually relate to Clerks 2, and sooner than I would like I'll understand Clerks 3.

I miss going to the local video store on the weekends to rent a couple movies. Streaming has sort of gotten me to watch less movies, because these streaming services ultimately make you scroll through movies, rather than watching them. And with agrorythyms, they only show you movies they think you'll like from what you, or other people using the platform has watched. It's nearly impossible to find something cool, weird, or interesting.

At the video store you got to walk around, and browse, and your choice is critical.

I feel bad that my daughter will never get to experience that.

It used to be fun exploring video stores. I agree, I miss them too.

I remember when N64 came out in the 90s and it was super expensive, and since my family was poor as fuck, some old man who was a family friend bought one for us.

I had a rich friend when I was growing up (he lived with his grandparents who owned restaurants and properties in Glendale, CA) and they got me an N64 for my birthday.

This friend is/was basically my brother, we had sleep overs every weekend, went to basketball and pro-wrestling events together all the time.

Finding a gray hair in my eyebrow.

My hair is completely gray, and it doesn't bother me, buy my eyebrows do for some weird reason.

I generally disapprove of "sin taxes," viewing them as an unwarranted attempt by the government to control human behavior while simultaneously being a regressive tax that disproportionately targets poor people with vices like cigarette smoking and alcoholism, punishing them for not being virtuous.

That said, I kind of like seeing the insane prices of cigarettes when I go into a convenience store. Wow, I don't have to mortgage something just to buy a pack of smokes. I'm glad I quit this shit a couple decades ago.

Today a pack costs more than the last time I bought a CARTON

Quit smoking.

My idea of a vacation is just sitting around at home, all comfy like with no chores or responsibilities.

I'm old enough to remember when Beyonce was black, and Arriana Grande was white.

A grey hair is at least a hair.
