It's hard for me to give feedback on style choices of the Youngs because my reference frame is just different. Have to stick with "looks flattering/unflattering on you."
Just recently realized that my kid upgraded this summer from Malcolm X glasses to John Lennon glasses! 🤣

So my auto/home insurance sent me something letting me know about some senior discounts I qualify for.
I'm fifty. I'm not playing bingo in the afternoons and eating at shitty buffets every Saturday, bitching about my rheumatism.
Although I guess it's not too early to start coming up with really folksy-sounding advice to dish out to the young people.

So, today is National School Picture Day, so I double-dog dare you to BOOST ♻️ this post, and then post your pic, because how could it possibly be worse than this monstrosity?
(Note: I had this mullet three years before Billy Ray Cyrus made it famous. I SET the trends, my girlfriends!)

The older I get, the less I seem to like dark beer, red wine, bourbon, and Indian food.
The odd thing is this. When I was a younger dude (i.e., up til age 50-ish), I loved loved loved loved LOVED dark beer, red wine, bourbon, and Indian food.
But not all is lost. I still love pickles!

| heard some high school kids talking and they said,
"No way Gen X wrote 10-page reports without Al."
"Sweetie...
We wrote them without reading the book, the night before they were due, BY HAND. IN CURSIVE." -
2- how about in other parts of the world? not a perfect fit in Canada, are these generational terms relevant at all in other countries/regions?
My problem with the video is that none of this ever had much to do with my life, while I thought it was very weird I'd be considered in the same generation as people old enough to be my parents (though my actual partnes were a bit older)! I never 'jonesed' for any other generation's opportunities etc.

1 Any Canadian Generation Jones folks here? Curious about your thoughts on common desciptions (between gens, not quite fitting etc) Watching (probably won't finish) a video about the psychology of the generation between boomers and gen x- those born 1954-65. I was born near the end of that- definitely agree that I never felt part of the boom-- I was born in the Summer of Love, not participating in it. Overall probably more in common with gen x.. -cont-

The most Gen X thing ever. "'30 years after their birthday, they didn't have a name...' Previously, the cohort had been called post-Boomers, Baby Busters (which refers to the drop in birth rates after the baby boom...), the New Lost Generation, latchkey kids, the MTV Generation, and the 13th Generation (the 13th generation since American independence)." I remember being called a Baby Buster and a latchkey kid. Just heard a podcast talking about us as "thirteeners." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X #GenX

@andrewt @mistercharlie That looks fantastic, and reminds me when that's all a video game needed to be

In the late seventies and early eighties, we would have keggers in those trees back there, get high on weed, and ride the rusty metal merry-go-round until someone puked or got tetanus.
Ah, youth. -
On a roll this morning.

@EricAlper Millennials are unhappy for the reasons you just explained.
Boomers are unhappy because there are four boys in the entire US playing girls sports.
As for GenX, nobody can say that we are unhappy because nobody has ever seen us or paid attention to us.

Migrating from toot.community to cupoftea.social so here's an #introduction ...
I'm Hilly, #GenX dad. I love messing on with #computers and #gameconsoles #handheldgaming #MiSTerFPGA, and my #ThinkPad . Really getting into #linux recently, daily driving #CachyOS and runnning #Debian and #AntiX on some older laptops too. Music is important to me, lots of #90s stuff like #grunge #indie #britpop #triphop and also current artists like #MagdalenaBay #AmylandtheSniffers and #CowboyHunters . I believe that this is ife and there's nowt after it so might as well get on with everyone and the big roundie under my feet.

GenX is going to countenance its senescence with the same attitude we did our youth. I was just listening to Sirius XM Lithium (90s alt grunge) and heard the station id which included:
“Some of these songs are older than your interns. Deal with it!”
