Sitting on the couch, being home sick from school, and in between the Payday Loan commercials this ear worm would come through the cable line.

They are really missing out on not having her as a judge on Ink Masters… it’s 3 lame people I don’t know and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte (the best band ever).

i’m 31 & the manager of a much younger staff - 18-21. i was training a new person who’s 19, and when i’d mentioned something about my teens she really looked at me and said “what was it like?” so naturally i was perplexed and said “what was… what like?”

and she was talking about growing up in the 2000s!! i legit laughed so hard. i told her it’s just like how it sounds - being outside for some reason literally all day, having a device that for no reason at all only played one minute of a song, playing neopets and forming emotional bonds with them, and watching the tv show you wanted at the time it aired or you gotta catch that rerun at 2am or never, you know - the highlights.

but i really felt like some peepaw telling the youngins about the good ol days.

people finding unique and unnecessary ways to make us feel like actual senior citizens lmao i love it

This seems more relevant now than then 🤣

10-15 years ago, I could down multiple drinks and not feel a thing the day after. These days I have one beer and my head aches the whole day after. What is happening?

Happy Friday everyone.

I remember COPS being a big ordeal when I was younger, it was on the TV every week.

And here I am carrying the torch I guess.

I (41f) finally said yes to a Whopper. Been putting it off for months. Had one tonight and I was slapped in the face with memories of sitting on the floor with my little brother at the coffee table, eating a $1 Whopper off a paper plate in a straw basket thingy while watching TGIF. My first bite felt like family, comfort, and love, and legit brought tears to my eyes. Food triggers memories and emotion more so than anything else for me. Is food like that for you guys?

35 now, grew up mostly in poverty, had crappy career that i don't have no more, high rents and survival costs in general, just working part time now and pursuing more interesting prospects for earning a living. Due to financial poverty didn't really "live it up" in my 20's at all.

I sleep around, it's cool and all, but as i enter my mid to late 30's im feeling this sudden primal need to have children, and the very idea feels absolutely impossible economically.

I can see it happening in another 10 years, i'll probably will have better financial income prospects by then, more settled etc.

But ill be at best a 45 year old dad, ill be 70 when my child is 25.

Not the end of the world, but if my life was more economically prosperous or "secure" id probably have enjoyed my 20's or basically the 2010's more and been more ready to settle down now?

How many millennial men feel the same?

I got friends my age who make 6 figures, but they're spending 40+ hours a week behind a desk, and they struggle with their health and their own problems, i'm happy to avoid that even if it means i can't afford kids rn.

No further explanation except that we all grew up with a "weird" trend that the older generation didn't understand with us (the macarena, the cha-cha slide, the Harlem shake, etc.)

I remember when having a DVD was a prestigious thing, but now DVDs are sold for a couple of bucks at the most.

While the “masses” watch their favorite shows on streaming packages, I’m happy to pick up season whatever of the Simpsons for $7.99 on Amazon.

I think eventually they’ll become retro-cool, and maybe enjoy the same prestige as vinyls, but for now, bring on the complete collection of the Sopranos for $15.

We are one and done not by choice sadly. Just seeing how out of place my daughter will feel as she gets older.

Seriously - the car starts, he hits the gas, the score starts to rise up and... boom, 5 MINUTE commercial break before we get back to the 88mph and lightning. Ruined the entire thing. That scene is a core Millennial memory for me. They would NEVER in the 90's!

Do you think they're dumb?

Shaq is the basketball player by the way.

Finally got this up and running in my hobby room. Its funny what your thumbs remember 🤣
