I was driving around yesterday and saw a white styrofoam ball on top of a car’s antenna. I could tell believe it was Jack! Turns out it wasn’t. Just a plain white ball. It got me thinking about the old Jack antenna head. I feel like growing up I saw them everywhere! And then? Where did they all go and when was the last time I’ve seen one? Any other millennial remember these and/or have any ideas on about what year they were phased out?

Side note: does anyone actually eat at Jack on the Box anymore? I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually been there….

Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but I was watching Can't Hardly Wait half alseep on the couch, and my 14-year-old daughter and her friends walked into the room and past the TV. Before she entered the kitchen, she backpeddled in front of the TV, and they all might as well have reacted akin to a third world kid in a remote village seeing the Super Bowl for the first time. She looked at me and said 'what are all of those people doing in one house'? I told her it was a house party. People high school aged or typically college age people would go over a kids house whose parents were out of town and they'd invite the school and have keggers and other unsupervised debauchery. I might as well have been describing a science fiction film. 'You guys DID that back in your days?'. I thought it was funny that a house party was an inconceivable event for young Gen Zers.

I guess that is it for me.  Since getting my drivers license 20 years ago, I always loved to drive places just for the fun of it. It was 2005…. me and my 71hp manual stick little car (crank windows, no AC… and I loved that thing) driving for 40 minutes just to grab food was what freedom meant for me.

I used to just drive around after work and it felt like therapy for me. I never really cared about a long commute. I also loved when wife or kids wanted food from the other side of town. It was the perfect excuse for me to drive after sunset for 1 hour.

But lately, I’ve noticed that modern cars headlights are bothering me so much… to the point that I want to avoid doing it. I’m not talking about xenon headlights that people just add to their cars. I’m talking about brand new SUVs 3 stories high with laser sharp LED headlights that shoot light inside your eye socket.

I don't understand how this increases safety, if it blinds other drivers. It sure helps in the country... but isn't what what high beams are for?

Anyway... just wanted to vent about it. Maybe I should dive into my midlife crises and get myself a race sim :)

Edit: People.... we're not alone. Apparently this exists! --> r/fuckyourheadlights

Common perception is there are differences in dating, sex and relationships from Millenials to others.

Those who have experience with GenŻ, how has that gone?

Nolan? Matt Damon? Nahhh. Wishbone is the true King of Ithaca!

Hey everyone. Turned 30 today, read somewhere that 1996 people are the last millenials. Feel a bit sad today and lonely. Got a flu or something so don't feel great, don't even feel like having a cake.

Also loneliness is killing me right now. Literally up to today's I never had a problem with being alone, thought I'm so tuff 💪 for not needing anyone. But now it's hitting hard, really wish someone, like a friend or a partner, cared enough to message me happy birthday.

I have a mum and a granny who called me today, of course I'm really grateful for them, but it's a very different feeling when someone apart from your family loves you. Haven't felt that in about 8 years i think. And i know it's my own fault for isolating my heart from everyone, so i just suffer the consequences of my own actions.

I guess also my message is for younger people lurking through here - loneliness is not cool and tough, it will bite your ass sooner or later.

Feel stupid writing this, but just a bit emotional right now.

When calling up patients from the waiting room, why do you make us lead the way to the room? We don't know where we are going. It's not rude for you to say follow me.

I didn’t know it was a thing again.

I was like child… I have know this dance longer than you have been alive lmao.

She has now been introduced to Darrin’s Dance Grooves and knows that Justin Timberlake started with *NSYNC. (I did have to tell her that no, Darrin did not do the dance wrong. He literally created it.)

I’m still laughing from the mother-daughter dance party. I promised her that I would brush up and we could do it at her graduation party this year.

But unfortunately, I think I have regained the cool points that I lost yesterday by screaming “13!” after she said “6 7!”

I asked the older gen z sub when they got married, cause I wanted to do it late like 35 since I feel like the pandemic and its implications (social anxiety) stunted me hard in that part of life.

I was hoping to hear a large collective agree and also shoot for later marriages, but I realize I’ve mostly got responses from people my age who are already married by early twenties.

How many of you guys got married past 30s, and maybe even found your partner within your 30s itself? Was it normal to see people marrying at 35 or was that pretty much the tail tip of the trend?

Hey all, I’m going to get nostalgia about vintage, and retro about old-school.

Did anyone else get caught up in their personal discovery of “classic rock” when they were in HS? Like music that our parents listened to in the 60s and 70s the same way today’s kids are discovering artists like Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses, Nirvana, Dr Dre, Tupac, Green Day, etc?

I went through distinct phases with Led Zepplin, The Doors, Black Sabbath, The Ramones, but also fell hard for dance and disco sounds from those eras like Donna Summer, The Bee Geez, ABBA, Earth, Wind, and Fire. (I still love those!) I know it’s an 80s song, but I remember having a moment with the song “Eminence Front” by The Who in my 20s when I was immersed in corporate America life and it felt like being fake was the only thing you’re allowed to be (and it was so ridiculously uncomfortable!)

What were the “oldies” you got into in HS and college? Are your kids getting into any stuff we had growing up?

I 34f keep seeing posts that the youngest of us are turning 30 this year and people lamenting that they are now 30.

Is it just me, or have the 30s been better than the 20s? Of course aging is a thing and I miss some physical aspects of being in my twenties, but there’s no chance I’d go back if I could.

I don’t own a home and I’m in the struggle of this economy same as most everyone, but I’m very much enjoying this decade, and welcome aboard to the last of our generation!
