I've stopped being 'by default deferential' to people in their 50s and 60s.

- saying that I used to shit the bed in my 20's so may not be all bad.fadein11
- WAT.Nairn
- Not sure what the deal is, just pee and go back to sleep. I always pee at night, but only because I drink 1 liter of water before beddrgs
- If gets up I stays up.Nairn

What terrifies me is knowing that remembering something from long ago partially includes re-writing that memory, so memories become some Basinski-like obliteration of fact.
Every time you remember something from your past, your current context tinges it.
Every time.
Ev-e-ry time.
Xv-r-ry time.
Xv-r-ry t&me.
Xv-r-9y t&me.
Xv-t-9y t&me.
Xv-t-9y t&%e.
Xv-t-9y t&%v.

- Also shorter attention span due to information overload from social media is a form of amnesiagrafician
- This feeds into our society collective memory, increasing the chances of making the same mistakes due to not remembering collective facts, at an alarming rate.grafician
- All I know is that the fish gets longer.
Or shorter.

Today I finally threw away 98% of my college design projects. I was able to salvage these mock up items: 2 pairs of socks, shaving cream, soap, wine (corked?), and CK You cologne.
Has everyone purged these yet?
- Nope. And keeping an archive forever is trivial with cheap storage.grafician
- I helped a friend move a few years ago and he still had his gouache color wheel!fooler
- I do have limited jpgs of them, but these were all printed mock ups.bezoar

- Can’t open my Freehand files.shapesalad
- Nope. Still have my drawings rolled up in tubes and a 5' model somewhere in my parent's place (along with 100 architecture books)formed
- I wrapped gifts with my old drawings. That big paper is usefulscarabin
- I photographed all of my old school stuff and saved a few to an “art school” project in my portfolio archivenoRGB
- Freehand ruled!fooler

Vintage clothing stores are now selling the clothes you used to wear in your twenties...
- It's weird seeing young'uns in multi-colour shellsuit tops. That was a terrible idea last time around. I know. I had at least two.Nairn
- I was wearing clothes from vintage stores in my twenties.fooler
- ^I wore used vintage stuff in early 2000s, but those were 70s clothesdrgs
- Yep, me too. I loved searching through vintage shops in Manchester. I can't stand the early 90s shell suit crap.Chimp
- One of the subdued joys of getting older is watching young people repeat your youthful mistakes while kidding themselves they are being so original.comicsans
- Personally, I'm waiting for the resurgence of prog rock.comicsans

I constantly have to look up video tutorials of game walkthroughs as I can’t progress at even the first levels of games anymore.
- Walkthrough tutorials did not exist when I was young. How do you know, maybe teenagers today use them all the time?drgs
- If you still can read the tinny number and letters in game' UI, you're not that old!OBBTKN
- This is why I never got into games even when I was a kid.CyBrainX
- Walkthroughs totally existed... in print. Books and game magazines did it all the time. Nintendo Power magazine for example.ETM
- i know teenagers, and yes, they too do walkthroughshardhat

I am more attracted to the women on social media that focus on instant pot recipes, meal prep, closest/pantry organization and home improvement than the swimsuit and lingerie influencers.
- weird, i already know how to cook / clean, but look so uncomfortable in lingerie.imbecile
- There's a YouTube channel in that, Imbecile.Nairn
- the vision that popped in my head as i read your comment agrees... O,,oimbecile

Sleep is getting worse. More things start to hurt.
Pinched a nerve the other day and slept like shit past days.
Vicious cycle.

I aerated my lawn and planted new grass seed last night, then covered it with hay this morning as it was raining. I really feel like I got everything done and the right time and hope the grass comes in thick and full.

I went to a general admission concert with standing room only on the main floor and chose to sit in the balcony.
- what band?Krassy
- Guided By Voicesfooler
- that's sad. i'm way older than you but would never sit. standing at the back of the main crowd is my preferred stationhans_glib
- tho you do tend to get blinded by the lights reflecting off all the bald heads :/hans_glib
- standing / sitting near (preferably in front of) the sound booth is the best place at any concert. vip 4th row back from the stage was too close at depeche modeimbecile
- +1 Guided by Voicesoey_oey
- hahahaha @ hans_glib. I did notice a majority of the crowd had bald spots from my view. I would have fit right in down there.fooler
- Guided by voices to the balcony. Trust them!stoplying
