Lol GPS is not accurate enough in rural areas, but so many people, mostly east coast city, refuse to prepare themselves properly. Age is unrelated, lol but everyone over 40 knows that maps are handy when there's no service or the GPS is wrong lol

If I could afford to, I would

I'm Gen X and the last time i read a newspaper is 20 years ago. Tv too, why should i watch news? We have Internet now. :D

Oof

1968 (Me) UCLA = $300 per year. Min. wage $1.60. 188 hours of work covered 1 year at UCLA. 2012 (Son) UCLA = $14,460 per year Min. wage $7.25 1,994 hours of work to cover 1 year at UCLA I'd work part time over the summer vacation and have plenty for college. If I worked fulltime for the summer, I'd have a LOT left over. https://www.dailycal.org/2014/12/22/history-uc-tuition-since-1868/

Work hard play hard lol.

OMG for F's sake everyone!!! Yes everyone of us had had it hard. In our own screwed up generational way. Every generation got screwed by the one before it and got made fun of by the ones coming after it. We ALL had to walk to school. uphill. both ways. with crappy shoes okay. Everybody sucks. I'm still trying ok. Jesus people, try to suck a little less today than you did yesterday. We are all in this thing together and we all have something to bring to the table. Have a good night everyone

I wish I could be around when you guys are 70 and trying to keep up with technology that changes as the speed of light. You'll see then. But just keep laughing at the older generations. It's cute.

More like software that makes you have a password that's 15 or more characters using every type of character and have to change it every 2 weeks without repeating anything.

This is just bad whatever age you are.

Pretty sure the companies didn't want to pay for anything either. Something about a profit margin.

So glad I don't have kids.

Must be nice being able to find a career and afford to have kids.

Had to walk up the hill, both ways, in the snow! LMAO always loved hearing that one

So glad you're not my kid, SC rap L! Believe it or not, many elders have this thing called wisdom, that you will realize about five years after you lose them.

You know that you are even less!

Or just say f**k you you woke piece of s**t and see what happens

I'm 29 and make fun of anyone who buys apple. Doesn't matter the age, you buy apple once okay I can let it slide, you buy apple frequently knowing you're device will be updated in a few years to run slower when it's already considered dated by apple standards, yeah imma laugh at you.

I ask for a hot water, no whip, extra ice.

Shared :D

I've never seen an elderly person do this.

Fine.

I know, right? Like who's got time for that? Man, it reminds me of when I was growing up in a small farm town. We didn't have much, but we appreciated what we had. Everyone didn't agree with each other on everything, but we all got along and let each other be, you know what I mean? Billy, Jim and I used to ride out bikes every which way. On the hit summer days you'd find us down at the creek where someone had tied a rope to an old tree branch to swing into the water. Other days we'd be exploring the woods, finding new hiding spots or building forts. One day Billy climbed to the top of a really high line tree, so high the branches couldn't support his weight and he had to cling to the top of the trunk because he was afraid he'd fall if he tried to get back down to the sturdier branches. Jim stayed with him and I rode like the wind to find Billy's pa who had an old time fire truck with the extendable ladder. Man, we still joke about those days sometimes. Anyway, I agree, freaking boomers

Weddings are expensive and I've seen elderly people working. Not great jobs they aren't qualified but jobs nonetheless. Why do you think boomers just stop working. Rather shortsighted don't you think.

i know right 🤣🤣🤣 (i am NEVER doing that again.)

Some language just sticks. I still "dial" a number and "hang up" a call to end it but use a smartphone. I'm an older millennial.

They just don't want their privacy invaded. I know people like this at every age.

Okay, here's my confession. I'm a millennial and I have never used a QR code because I don't care enough to learn how.

Whut? Has that happened? For real? Is the iron still there? What about the thimble?

I'll be honest, everytime I'm trying to rake leaves there's always a hour where it gets windy. It never fails.

Sending people to Facebook jail is a multigenerational hobby not specific to one

Yep

nEVER DONE THAT!

Muscle memory. I do this on my phone because it automatically adds the full stop and I can type faster and more efficiently.

I'm not a boomer and I'm confused, can you please explain?

Its an excuse for bad behavior saying one should be forgiven for all excesses because we only have one chance to enjoy ourselves. Many of the bad things in this world, from climate change deniers to anti-vaxxers, boil down to I deserve to be happy even if it means others are hurt because we only have one chance at happiness.

Hey, I do that. I like dinner, but I also like quiet.

I mean - it comes from the latin term "libra pondo" which means "weight in pounds." It was abbreviated to lb (with a cross through the l and b) in the 14th century. The lb typeface was developed by printers in the 17th century. Handwriting that symbol eventually evolved into what you know today but the symbol was still called "pound." It wasn't until Internet Relay Chat (Yay 90s!) that anyone ever used the term hashtag, and that was mostly just used by the software engineers. The use of the octothorpe in Twitter came about in 2007 when a Gen Xer named Chris Messina suggested it to Twitter - and he called it a pound sign even then. Just saying, 800 years of it being called pound vs 25 years of anyone even knowing the term hashtag and really only in common use for the last 10-15 years.

I'm confused. "From a friend" is not how the internet works at all. 90% of the memes I share come from total strangers. (Or am I missing more context again?)

What are we calling it now?

What exactly do you hang up?

I don't know everything yet, so I listen.

Dementia is a horrible, A neurocognitive disorder. Please don't use it in this fashion.
