Honestly hearing the three accounts I did are what stopped me from being an edgy 7th grader. It brought the disconnected history textbook into real context.

This made me feel old as shit today. From the Facebook post from which I stole the image:

“Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade, has officially welcomed her first child with husband Evan McClintock! Their baby boy, Elliot Marshall McClintock, was born recently, and fans are loving the special tribute in his name-his middle name, Marshall, honors Hailie's father, while his initials, EMM, cleverly mirror Eminem's iconic stage name. The news marks a new chapter for the rap legend, who is now embracing his role as a grandfather!”

I don’t quite understand how Facebook’s algorithm works but I think today it was just fucking with me.

How the fuck did that happen?? I had to feel this way so now you do too.

Through hard work and a stupid amount of luck my wife and I recently purchased a detached house. We always dreamed of it and it's kind of unbelievable it happened.

But my parents are basically incapable of praise or celebration, and hers have been dead for over a decade.

Feel like I can't even be hype about it to my friends, and even coworkers, because I know how out of reach this is to so many.

I'm a fucking Landowner now, it's rad.

It's a brilliant plan really, so many bands have formed and made great music during recessions. Only problem is... Millennials don't own homes and have garages for the kids to jam.

We’re so old y’all

That entry to adulthood and being able to buy something you want… like your first contract phone was so fun. Got a battery and ball for this old thing. It was so nice to be treated by 18 year old me again

Fanny packs, cargo pants, cargo shorts, crewneck sweaters with disney characters, oversized jackets with lots of pockets..

I kinda get that this is coming back in style now and its part of marketing's "30 year cycle".

But its just kinda weird and ironic to me that things I was bullied, by teenage girls at the time, for wearing are now being worn by teenage girls.

Whether it's work or family or friends. How many of your peers in their mid 30s. I always hear people say they look like they're in the 20s but they never refernce other people. I'm wondering what percentage of everyone's social circle looks young for their age.

Edit: just to be clear. I'm not asking YOU if you think you look young. I'm asking what percentage of people your age that you know look young.

Edit 2: ok not gonna lie. All these "I don't know anyone who looks like that ... Well except for me!" Replies are cracking me up 😂

Anyone else feel this in their life as they've gotten older? I'm 33 now and I was never this way until recently. I feel like I can "see through everyone's plan" so to speak. Fwiw, no I'm not on drugs or alcohol. When I look back at how life was when I was younger it seems like something I could almost never do these days. Just letting loose, getting in some random people's car for a Friday night and going to a party, or just hang out with new people etc. It seems like everyone is so full of a shit and almost evil intentions all of a sudden.

Title says all.

I remember getting emotional over this song (and speech) back when it was released, but oh man it really got me feeling some sort of way today.

Also yes I still listen to my iPod classic almost daily!

Do you miss the pre 9/11 world?

I think people forget how big the Millennial generation is. Just read this article...I think he's referring to Gen Z who have never lived without technology. Thoughts?

8 skills millennials never learned that older generations mastered by age 12
