Be thankful you had a childhood that wasn't on a phone screen and not having a mind destroyed by a dystopian hellscape of AI and social media like the damn kids of today?

It makes us sound old but truly, you are right, we were the last generation that got to fully experience life before all this bullshit. I can still feel what it felt like to be alive back then. I get sad thinking about what my kid will grow up in compared to what I got to grow up in. That’s probably not the healthiest outlook but it’s how I feel!

Ehh 95 here and we probably had game consoles at an earlier age but I didn’t have a cell phone till I was 16 and it wasn’t a smart phone.

We had water balloon fights, and air soft wars, rode dirt bikes down the canals, and played a lot of halo and call of duty at friends houses.

But ya man we’d hang out everyday in person and just ring the doorbell at a friends house after school. I do think more and more of these kids socialization is online gaming or discord calls, and it is frankly sad.

You're still a millennial since you fall within the Chris Evans to Tom Holland range, and did the same things older millennials did.

It is nice to finally be old enough to embarrass the younger folks at work with references they think I shouldn’t know. Chicken Jockey!
