I know generations are an artificial concept in a lot of ways, but is wild to me how much this forum's age curve cuts off at the very bottom of the millennial age bracket
Like of the small handful of forumers who are still under 30, I don't think anyone is under 26

I spent a lot of my younger days on the internet capitalizing on the digital anonymity and trying to hang out in spaces/communities with folks who were a lot older than me. And while I turned out okay, by certain definitions of "okay," it's almost certainly a good thing that the youths of today aren't... Doing that.

This is exactly what I did and how I feel about it looking back.
I've thought about how I would feel if I ended up having a kid who spent time online the way I did, and honestly I'd be concerned
I always wondered, what does the ++ stand for/mean?
Just in case (and this is oversimplification)
"++" is a programming short hand in some languages that basically says "increment this variable by 1" so if you're doing a loop you can program the counter to just do "counter++" and it's the equivalent of "counter=counter+1"
Is it also that SE++ kind of sounds phonetically like C++
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

This forum was the first place I encountered this shorthand, and then I became a programmer so now I lean toward using "counter++" over "++counter" and think of this place every time I do.
Considering "++counter" has a more intuitive effect and small performance benefits in some languages, what I'm really saying is this place guided me down the path of being a sub-optimal programmer well before I ever wrote my first line of code

I was trying to figure out why I can’t seem to find anything to watch or listen to while I work.
I ran out of my normal Ritalin!
Usually I take a 30mg time release then I have a 10mg to take later in the day if I need a boost.
All I had today was the 10mg…that’s most likely my issue with focusing and depression today
I haven't had any Adderall since, like, January or something and it's been hell for me. The four or five months I was on it were like magic, I could actually get shit done and actually think clearly for the first time in my memory. Then the shortage and me not being able to find it anywhere was like having the rug yanked out from under me. Couldn't do anything, couldn't think, I'd do nothing at all on my days off but I couldn't even enjoy it because I was so scatterbrained that nothing sounded good to me. I'd start a game, quit after 5-10 minutes, scroll the internet for a few minutes, walk around the house, then start up a different game for a bit, etc. Just a living nightmare

I associate the ++ with DC++, which was a popular file sharing thing back in the early aughts
Why does my mind associate these things? shrug emoji

I have three, and let me tell you it was both very concerning and also pretty OK. But they're all in their 20s now and today's internet is quite different. I would be a lot more concerned about the shitshow we currently exist in, than the one happening in the early 2000s.
My daughter, like all 9yos currently, wants to watch tiktok. Unfortunately for her, she is getting a smart phone when she's, like, 18. So she gets to watch on my phone. With me.
I am curating the most mundane old-person tiktok right now.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Just nothing but TikToks of Jimmy Barnes, the singing cowboy ghost towering above the mountains?

Accountability, whatever shall I do?!
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Excuse me but I am only 23*

I've got mine still! I do wear it to PAX events even if I've only been to two of those in the last decade

I have one, but we're both starting to show a bit of wear and tear around the fringes.
I’ve got mine! Though the shirt is still in good condition there is now a bit more of me so it doesn’t fit as comfortably/fashionably.
Make a shirt out of your favorite EPYC.
Naruto Fucks, after all.
::slosh::
I would love to say I created that specific piece of art but I did not.
I would wear it on a shirt though. My wife would never allow herself to be seen with me when I have it on but that’s ok!
