Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Oh for sure reddit is mostly under 30, and that likely leads to questions such as:
How do I mail a letter? What was the great depression? Who is Seinfed? 3 questions I have seen recently, does make me feel old though. My last job too most of my co-workers were born in the 1997-2001 range, boy oh boy is a workplace isolating when nobody around your age. Forums in general always seemed better, more interacting and generally friendlier and moderated, but forums seem to have largely died, of the ones I went to for years, just 2 are active still, some are still online but have like one post a month...lol

I find Reddit has a younger profile, high school kids up to around thirties, and then it drops off quickly. Lots of bozos on there for sure. BE is good in that people do kind of know each other. I can't believe I've been on the site for almost ten years. I remember when I was up to about 600 posts thinking that was a massive number.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Youngsters today don't seem to watch the older TV shows of 80's and 90's. My generations equivalent would be shows of the 60's and 70's and I watched a lot of those shows growing up.
Maybe that is why I found it not difficult to talk to my 40 something co-workers when I was 20, I watched a lot of the same shows as they did so we had things in common, oh the joys of getting old.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I dont remember too much of the 80s. Up to 1985 I have little memory of anything except some traumatic ones I would rather forget.
1988 onwards I have more memories but not a ton. But I remember the 90s pretty vivdly still but I do wish I had normal teen year experience instead of more traumatic events.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Most of the 70s and 80s are a blur for me!
We didn't have a TV until 1974 when OH bought one ready for me coming home from the hospital with a new baby ......... I do remember watching some horrible showers around 2 am in the morning!! I remember watching most but not all of Dallas, but people at work were raving about Dynasty, and I hadn't the faintest idea what they were talking about! I also watched most of Mash after 1974. Never watched any of Seinfeld or Friends. |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I never cared much for Friends. Seinfeld was one of those shows I didn't watch mostly until re-reruns and the later seasons, I was only 10 when it first hit the airwaves and it came on after my bedtime, and I doubt at 10 I would have had any interest. My grandmother who watched us after school watched MASH reruns each afternoon as Golden Girls which is why I was watching those, but I don't think I paid much attention to either until later 90's when I was older.
Used to Watch Young and Restless in the summer too as my Grandmother liked it, and who could forget Price is Right, and those days home from school sick. I know my parents TV when I was really young was black and white, their first new TV and in color was around 1984 but we didn't get cable until early 90's.

About the first time that older women were shown smartly dressed and going out with boy friends :ohmy: . They were all great actresses, and were so funny. I watched Star Trek starting with The Next Generation, then Deep Space Nine, and Voyager I have never watched afternoon TV, and daughter was only allowed to watch it if she was home sick, and then strict time limits. I know of the soap operas but have never seen more than the odd excerpt, usually when some actor or actress who's been in it for many years has died! |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
My parents didn't let us watch a whole lot when we were younger, my grandma did, but nothing was gonna stop her from her golden girls and MASH lol.....
By teen years we watched more, well I did, my sister was social butterfly and always out with friends, I tended to go to the Zoo, museums and watch TV as I had no friends...
