    I’m so old I remember downloading porn pics (not vids) and waiting like a minute sometimes to see the whole enchilada… and had to make sure it would suffice cause having to look for another could waste tons of time

    kids don’t know how easy they got it now 🤣
    I remember printing those pictures out

    ^Mildly amusing, boys. Guess internet can go in the positive column.

    You're so old, you can probably read cursive!

    Went with Mrs FMe to her 30th high school reunion.  Some of her friends we pre-partied with had significant others who were born the graduation year of the returning class.  
    Made me feel old but also made me feel like my spouse could be 18 years younger?  :lol:

    Well...in the late 90's printing became a good option as you cannot set up a whole PC on your toilet, right?

    Unfortunately I have heard of Rizz...although I am not 100% certain what it means.

    I think Swiftie is kind of common now...also unfortunately.

    Rizz was the one I haven't heard.  Kind of dumb though as its a shortened version of the word Charisma.

    When I havent thought of an actor or musician or something from the 80s, 90s, or even around 2000... and they make an appearance (or die) and I see they are elderly now, it depresses me.

    Also, Ill watch something from my childhood and figure out everyone or 90% of the people who are in it are dead.  Its sad and makes me feel ancient.

    Time has gone too fast.  I feel like it was reasonable from 1978-2001.  But since 2001 it has taken off like a jet and it makes me dizzy.

    I'm not about to refer to myself as old.  Older... maybe.  Besides, you, the Pearl Jam community, have kept me young.  All I can say is, thanks for that!

    THIS.

    It is the worst part of getting older to me.

    Think about how loooong the school year felt when you were in 5th grade or something. 6th grade felt like a million miles away.

    Nowadays February of this year feels like a few weeks ago.

    When you're a kid you only have a limited amount of life experiences and trips around the sun so life seemed liked it was moving at such a slower pace. It was much easier to live in the moment. Nowadays February of this year feels like a few weeks ago  to me.

    At age 45, this is what I'm having a difficult time grasping. It's also one of the reasons I hate how people want to start celebrating Christmas in fucking September. Don't rush a third of my year!! Let me at least try and savor the Fall.

    Not knowing what vapes are when I find em in in my kids friends backpack. These are vapes, right?  Hopefully just tobacco??? Or better if hooked on cannabis imo?

    Fuck your old when you don't know how to use legal drugs.

    And, do I see a Pez-Dispenser? I think I do. (Do you kids know what a Pez-Dispensers are? I do and that means I'm old?-HA)
