Updated for current times for those of us in the US.

Out of all the nostalgia revivals, I feel like King of the Hill's past two seasons have been phenomenal. Star Wars has been inconsistent, Star Trek has been fairly consistent with me with the TNG crew, but good god. I feel like Bobby's storyline has been extremely relatable.

The whole production 🤌🏼

I’m now learning that I might have ADHD. I’m like “yeah, duh” my sister, is almost 40, and she’s been diagnosed for 20+ years. For me, this is huge. I can understand a bit about me. The thing is, I don’t think it’s abnormal. I think I’m pretty typical.

There were so many great ones

I felt like such a badass in these!

Any idea where to get one that's NOT made of that crappy stretchy plastic? I need to return to my roots

I played Green Day’s Dookie endlessly as a kid. Still holds up to this day in my humble opinion.

Damn, what a ride it has been so far… what are we all doing for our 40th birthdays?

Bring back buttons and headphone jacks!

30 years ago today (July 22, 1996), The Daily Show premiered on Comedy Central, originally hosted by Craig Kilborn.

What's the first Daily Show moment that comes to mind for you? Was it the post-9/11 return, election coverage, a favorite correspondent, or something else that made the show memorable?

This is a little random, but after seeing posts like the one yesterday about the late 2000s/early 2010s being a better time, I look back to those years, and while some things were better, I still don't long for going back to those times. It's a bit redundant anyways as the past is the past and I can't do anything about it.

Anyways, without fully trauma dumping, every time I see people talk about how the 2000s or the 90s were the "good ol days", there were some things culturally I miss, but having been raised by a strict, controlling father. I definitely don't miss it for the most part. He raised me to be very anxious and paranoid. And I definitely missed out on a lot of things in my childhood because of how controlling he was. Always felt like I was walking on eggshells around him and when I moved out on my own in 2015, it felt liberating. I have a better relationship with him now that we're at a distance, but I still hear horror stories about him from my youngest brother who still lives with him. Sure, not everything was bad about the 2000s or early 2010s, but that doesn't mean I wanna go back.

Like someone else said about looking back at the past, you only long for nostalgia, because you only remember the good times.

I work at a college, which is of course full of teenagers. I'm really surprised at the kind of music teenagers listen to. Most students on our courses listen to a mixture of very old stuff and more surprisingly are really into early 2000s bands like Lincoln Park, Sum 41 etc. The kind of music you'd get in movies like American Pie.

It got me thinking. Generations and decades have their musical genres that define them. Pop, Punk, New Romantic, Britpop, Ibiza Dance etc. Has anyone post millennial actually defined their own new mainstream musical genres? The closest I can think of is K-Pop, but maybe I'm just out of touch.

I mean I get streaming is pretty decent but I miss being able to pick out a few DVDs, some treats and sitting down as a family to watch a movie together. I felt like there was endless choices and I also feel like me and the fam have watched almost everything on streaming apps

I heard Blockbuster got offered to buy Netflix but refused so maybe if they bought it they may (probably not) still be open

bringing this to Reddit because I really want to know if anyone else my age (44) experiences insults from their parent(s) about IQ.

The important notes:

- my mother was a geneticist for over 30 yrs.

- has a PhD

- very science minded. For example, I call a flower a Black and Blue salvia and she just has to call it by some sciency ass name that I don’t know because I’m a regular person who highly dislikes that form of science.

- she’s very pretentious and believes she is smarter than everyone else except when she has the opportunity to play the victim.

- she’s exceptionally book and SOP smart. she is extremely lacking in emotional intelligence (although she thinks she’s great at it lol)

My challenge: Over the course of my life and my siblings who are both older, we’ve had to hear her CONSTANTLY use the phrases “what’s the average IQ?” or “sometimes I wonder about their intelligence” Nobody is safe from these statements. I’ve heard her say it about her own brother and sister, her mother, her friends and basically anyone who disagrees with her on any given topic.

Yesterday, she said it again about my sister. my sister who is extremely ill from Crohn’s disease, who’s having surgery today to put in a port so she can get fluids into her body. She had to get a ileostomy about 5 yrs ago because she nearly died. So now her body can’t support itself and we all know which road she’s traveling down now. She also finally got up the courage this past couple years to leave a very unhappy marriage so she can find some joy in her last remaining years. Which hopefully, is a lot more years. Also important to note that in high school, our jackass of a guidance counselor told her she probably wouldnt get into college because of her PSAT scores. So she’s already been made to feel stupid. My sister graduated college in 5 yrs, all while she was beginning her journey of Crohn’s. So fuk that guy for what he said to her.

Anyhoozle, my mom made the comment last night again, about my sister. I nearly slapped her up the backside of her damn head. I’ve had it. I swear if I hear her say it one more time, I will break her emotionally.

And that’s the last thing I want to do. My mom is extremely traumatized from her own upbringing so I’ve tried to navigate life with her with a lot of compassion. Emotionally, she’s at about a 15 yr old level in my opinion. I’ve tried to speak to her like an adult about this. I’ve called her out in private. I’ve tried nearly every approach my therapist has suggested. it doesn’t work.

Is anyone else experiencing this with their parents? is it possibly a generational thing? She was born in 1950 in case that matters.

I don’t want to let all my own baggage to explode towards her. but this has to change. I already know deep down, she feels inadequate. I know she lacks confidence. I know she thinks she’ll never be “smart enough”. I don’t want to make the situation any worse than it is. But she needs to grow up.

If anyone here has a similar experience, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Any other suggestions would be great. Also, please don’t bash my mom lol As angry as I am, she has lots of good points too.

And as a side note….its extremely annoying that as I type this, I keep getting little pop up under my draft that is asking

• Are you posting yet another "I'm old" thread? Consider changing the language so you aren't! These "I'm old" threads are getting old and are highly reported by the community then removed for breaking Rule 2. Read the rules of here.

I know it’s generic but I’ve never posted in this community. And whoooooo is reporting people for being “old”? If this gets removed because I broke some ridiculous rule about being old, so be it. just means I won’t come back to this page because how ridiculous.

To me at least, it seems like gen z is becoming the main target. At the very least, Youtube seems to think I'm 5-10 years younger than I am.

I liked swimming, arts & crafts, and music. I went to a day camp for many years before having my 1st job there.

This happened last night and wasn't the first to happen, I had an ice cream push pop and the flavor was "childhood." What do I mean by that? There wasn't a real placeable flavor (like I couldn't say "this is watermelon, or orange"), it was just "candy flavor" that I remember from childhood. I think the flavor was rainbow (the label might have said that and there were some different colors, but they were kind of all melted together), and if it was "rainbow" I remember that being somewhat common back in the day which would explain the "this reminds me of childhood that I can't place."

I feel like I am not the only millennial who watched Kung Fury when it came out and said the same thing. Masterpiece.

The linguists were basically calling Teletubbies “brain rot” before brainrot was a word. It was one of the first for-babies shows with no attempt at being educational, not even trying to teach them real words. But it was colorful, so babies loved it. As for the religious groups, they were saying this particular teletubby was a gay cross dresser, meant to lead children astray!
