| 2026-01-02 11:22 | Calp | the fact people still smoke is wild |
| 2026-01-02 11:22 | Zaffer | *nod* "You must be born before this date in 200X" signs in stores for smokes are really wild. |
| 2026-01-02 11:22 | Kercheef | Hah buncha old people |
| 2026-01-02 11:22 | Stumbles | ohh yeah those born 2008 is 18 this year.... |
| 2026-01-02 11:21 | Calp | i was a senior in hs, and we had it on the tv in shop class |
| 2026-01-02 11:21 | Yowl | I learned about 9/11 by wanting to listen to music while playing ff9. All the radio stations were just talking, led me to switch over to the tube |
| 2026-01-02 11:20 | Zaffer | I remember finding out about 9/11 on here because I had a free period and all I did was mud during it. |
| 2026-01-02 11:20 | Jamsdin | ditoo for udemy courses, just put it in a book |
| 2026-01-02 11:20 | Calp | onlything i watch on youtube is batbro's videos and swaggin shades |
| 2026-01-02 11:19 | Snikt | I like yt for some - but -site:youtube.com is my friend |
| 2026-01-02 11:19 | Jamsdin | that is basically every tech/developer related vidoe |
| 2026-01-02 11:19 | Zaffer | *nod Calp* If you're gonna bs me, at least don't make it a video :) |
| 2026-01-02 11:19 | Amagadon | agreed Calp |
| 2026-01-02 11:19 | Calp | i much rather read my fake news, than watch it |
| 2026-01-02 11:18 | Isxa | definitely Zaf, always hate videos for things that should be articles |
| 2026-01-02 11:18 | Snikt | daughter listens on airpods to spotify, has head phones for her FPS on OVER those, watches youtube on her phone, and is doing homework on her tablet. WAAAY beyond my level |
| 2026-01-02 11:18 | Zaffer | And here I am... basically avoiding anything that's a YouTube link. "Could that video have been an article?" |
| 2026-01-02 11:18 | Innocent | that and the "participants in chat" who think they're making a connection with the caster |
| 2026-01-02 11:17 | Snikt | nod Calp - weird to me also |
| 2026-01-02 11:17 | Calp | my kids dont even play video games, would rather watch idiots play video games on youtube |
| 2026-01-02 11:17 | Snikt | sni |
| 2026-01-02 11:17 | Stumbles | lol been playing since 1999 :P |
| 2026-01-02 11:16 | Innocent | Was about to suggest that :p |
| 2026-01-02 11:16 | Calp | tammo still 12 i think |
| 2026-01-02 11:16 | Martyr | moir is 13, maybe we should ask her |
| 2026-01-02 11:15 | Snikt | anyway, I understand my rulebreaking. I think I get the next gen or 2... I keep forgetting Aqel/Boar/K/Tundra are in their freaking 40s... do we have 12-18 yr olds who remind you of yourselves playing, or can none of them use a real keyboard? |
| 2026-01-02 11:15 | Yowl | my kid is railing against being labeled alpha, he's a cusper like me |
| 2026-01-02 11:14 | Martyr | my oldest is 18 and my youngest is 12, none of the terms make much sense :P |
| 2026-01-02 11:14 | Snikt | hey, question - I understand my gen here..... LOLOLOL |
| 2026-01-02 11:14 | Zaffer | "Surely I won't make that mistake again. I've learned from the last time." ... enter Chantal. |
| 2026-01-02 11:14 | Amagadon | just 6-7 your way to some aura, no worries |
| 2026-01-02 11:14 | Snikt | I know all the gen z terms - alpha confuses me |
| 2026-01-02 11:14 | Snikt | "legit" (@Z) |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Zaffer | Or overconfident that you've learned because of the cognitive testing? |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Tovenaar | truth |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Amagadon | You're definitely the optimist there |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Yowl | slower learning if my brain doesn't like the topic. instant learning if my brain likes the topic. |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Snikt | but even without alimony, the disruption and moves are spendy |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Snikt | I was lucky about the never paying part I think |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Yowl | OoOoo |
| 2026-01-02 11:13 | Snikt | Zaf, I'm either optimistic or a lot slower in learning than my cognitive testing indicated |
| 2026-01-02 11:12 | Zaffer | Can only pay so many of them to leave. |
| 2026-01-02 11:12 | Zaffer | After you see it go wrong once, you try not to make the same mistake again. Or at least not too many more times :) |
| 2026-01-02 11:12 | Snikt | 14yr old daughter... fun times, fun times... |
| 2026-01-02 11:11 | Snikt | ... "when she's lippy..." |
| 2026-01-02 11:11 | Martyr | I tell mine that as well, lol |
| 2026-01-02 11:11 | Yowl | with you, lucky that my wife and I grew together rather than apart. |
| 2026-01-02 11:11 | Calp | as i remind my wife |
| 2026-01-02 11:11 | Calp | one and done for me |
| 2026-01-02 11:11 | Snikt | I've chosen to just stop getting (re)married |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Snikt | "... everytime she gets lippy..." that's not a great sign ;) |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Calp | as my wife reminds me every time she gets lippy |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Snikt | sorry, that was too funny (and soooo deserved) |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Yowl | FACTS Calp |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Amagadon | lol calp |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Snikt | HAHAHAAHA |
| 2026-01-02 11:10 | Yowl | my biggest fear is passing it along to my kiddo as well. |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Calp | id like to say sorry, but im not |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Calp | well i have a 14yr old daughter who is exactly like me, so i know what i put you all through 25 years ago |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Snikt | chu |

| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Martyr | are you even a parent if you don't cause cripplying anxiety in your children? |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Yowl | sucks, love just going along and then bam fight or flight because of a smell. |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Snikt | but I haven't inflicted (most of) it on my nextgen |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Amagadon | thats a win, then |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Snikt | but I haven't inflicted (most) of it on my nextgen |
| 2026-01-02 11:09 | Zaffer | The 'p' doesn't stand for 'post' though. |
| 2026-01-02 11:08 | Snikt | mine is cptsd :( |
| 2026-01-02 11:08 | Yowl | oh and a healthy dose of ptsd |

| 2026-01-02 11:08 | Snikt | damn skippy Martyr - likely |
| 2026-01-02 11:08 | Martyr | why else would we play a text based rpg for 25+ years |
| 2026-01-02 11:08 | Martyr | willing to bet most of us do... |
| 2026-01-02 11:08 | Yowl | same |

| 2026-01-02 11:07 | Snikt | oh, btw... .this'll be a big surprise to some of you (not really). I have ASD *and* significant ADHD which means *SQUIRREL!* |
| 2026-01-02 11:07 | Calp | ill pass him some adderall |
| 2026-01-02 11:07 | Amagadon | I haven't seen him giving out imm enchants for unpublished gazette articles or running alts full of insane twink gear |
| 2026-01-02 11:07 | Martyr | this past month has been pretty chaotic, but in a good way |
| 2026-01-02 11:07 | Zaffer | Maybe he just meant he can't focus on one thing at a time? |
| 2026-01-02 11:07 | Calp | you must not have seen the month boar put on |
| 2026-01-02 11:06 | Amagadon | lol |
| 2026-01-02 11:06 | Snikt | Boar told me yesterday he's "as chaotic as Dizzy". told him to **** off, he's one of the most lawful people I know |
