Getting a bike for christmas, and just spending hours and hours outside on it with my friends, and walking deep into the woods that surrounded our neighborhood, climbing trees and doing dangerous shit out of the sight of our parents. then coming home to my Atari and playing some Congo Bongo or Pitfall - back when games were good, you know?
Kids these days with their snapchats and their face swaps and their crushed candies don't know what they missed.

I had to mute this goddamn news station until they start airing the thing I'm waiting for. It's just nonstop talk about how Prince died like I'm starved to just learn every ounce of detail and speculation on the manner of his death.
pretty sure >= 1985 is millennial anyways, 80-84 are considered the tail end of "gen-x" since we were the generation that still did stuff outside before the internet showed up.
I remember the Cold War
I remember seeing on the news once that they pushed the doomsday clock forward by one minute and I flipped out.
Oh man, upcoming video game Cosmic Star Heroine™ from Zeboyd Games (makers of C'Thulhu Saves the World™, Rain Slick Precipice Episode 3+4™, forum posters™) looks super rad. I'm glad my past self Kickstarted it at a point long enough ago that the money is like ghost money that never really existed anyway, free game for me soon.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

BC is the same age as my friend's daughter and my friend is almost exactly the same age I am.
So I guess I could be older than Spool, but that would mean BC would have been born when Spool was like, 15 years old.

Yup. I remember the Berlin Wall falling.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
disabled people that don't milk the system baffle me
I'm fully abled and I'd milk the fuck out of the system, what are you all doing, jesus.
There's a couple of wrinkles:
Stigma over the use of disability money is huge. Like, I almost certainly would qualify for the subsidy, but I am absolutely not sure that said money is worth the stigma (and I don't mean just getting dirty looks from people - I mean losing out on tangible opportunities and having work go from 'difficult to find' to 'impossible to get').
Because of the afore-mentioned stigma, it's possible to become wholly depedent on the subsidy, which is always going to be one bad election away from being revoked... and then you're up shit creek.

I was 1987
I remember getting the internet as a kid
we had it a few months then got rid of it
since there was nothing to do, it was kind of a waste of money
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I think the text message thing and TV thing killed me.
But the TV was netflix just a TV show (Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown) and my friends aren't texters we use facebook messenger. Curious if I change that.
Messing with those answers, if I count my facebook messenger use for texting I am a 77. If I don't count netflix as TV, even though it was on TV through my xbone, I am an 88.
I a cusper though. 83 is technically millenial but has a lot that overlaps with X. Because generations are fluid things.

Man, feels like that game fell off the face of the earth.
I still get a paper, sadly its the Seattle Times as the PI went defunct, but I used to get the PI prior to the Times. Yeah yeah Bowen I'm old.
Also I wonder if in the Nice Guys (spoiler for the opening part of the movie)
If Russel Crowe knocked out a woman who was creeping on a young boy instead of the man doing it to a girl, if the film would have been decried for horrible violence to women.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

In answer to your previous question I'm not certain that uncracked iphones actually exist
I use the Otter case, and mine is as new as the day it was made, basically. I recommend strongly against nice phones without cases.
I've been really hard on my S2, S4 and S6 phones and they've held up without cases. It's the reason I've generally stuck with them. But since work is issuing me a phone, I figured my work phone should be different so I don't confuse the two.

In my world all grandparents suddenly and instantly age to their mid 60s, start wearing sweater vests and gambles on horses down at the track.

Information is starting to come out regarding the 1070. Looks like it, too, is faster than a Titan X (By a small margin), but is gonna be half the price of a 1080.
Fuck it. I'm saving $400 and I'm just gonna get the STRIX 1070 when it comes out.

Alright. So the company is giving me an iPhone 6. Does chat want to form a betting pool on how long it takes me to crack the screen?
@Thomamelas do you remember that company in the 90s that would offer to "slab" your comics, entombing them in a solid block of lucite to keep them mint forever?

I remember Reagan demanding it be torn down.
I'm just old enough to remember that timeless line: "Read my lips: Tear. down. that. wall."

yeah, the 1070 is going to be THE GPU for some time.
I am pretty sure they will have to discontinue the Titan X; it makes no sense on the market once these cards hit.

If either card puts my PC into viable VR land as a standalone upgrade I'm shelving my plans of buying a TV at the end of the year and going for that and a Vive.

I recommend this for the phone
I could see that working.
I have my cell phone on deposit at my bank.
they issued me a certificate certifying the deposit which I just show to people when they want my number

I never met either grandfather and the one that guy was referring to once pushed my pregnant grandmother down the stairs, so, fuck that guy
My dad told me he almost blurted out "you should have fuckin' shot him instead of the moose."
edit: This ridiculousness is actually a lot more fun than it should be.
the power is out in the store.
Just play Raspberry Beret or something, Jesus.
What was the universe like before heat?
So I guess I could be older than Spool, but that would mean BC would have been born when Spool was like, 15 years old.
EDIT: I guess 16 or 17 would be possible to.
