As I've gotten older, I find myself doing the old ughs and groan while getting off the couch or say things to my kids that my parents told me. I also truly appreciate the coveted chair or spot on the couch which is "Dad's Spot!"

Everyone's favorite Gen X edgelord teenager finally gave our generation the visibility it deserves. We now have our very own branded shitty alt-right social media space.

While being feral had its own pitfalls, I think most of us ended up with life coping skills they the generations after us seem to be lacking.

Uhhh, sure about that figure? I mean, social media certainly doesn't rank high but I don't think a plausible majority would do without the internet entirely, and few would roll back every benefit they receive from it.

As in no internet, cell phones or computers. Being born in '74, I was lucky enough to know what it meant to go outside, build a fort, play and mess around. Getting the exercise without knowing it. (riding a bike for example, or running to a friend's house). Drinking out of the hose on a hot summer day after running around in the heat. I swear! there's something extra tasty about that!

Then, being sick from school and laying on the couch watching Bob Barker on the Price is Right before the soaps came on. BORING!!! lol

Don't get me wrong, I'd probably be lost without all the technology we have today since it's gotten so ingrained in our lives, but I am thankful that I will probably be one of the older folks which can survive driving a manual car, reading cursive, and operating a soon to be antique store item, VCR with the VCR + capability. :)

Adulting is hard. We may have had an advantage as the “non-computerized to computerized world” beta testers lol

How are you doing?
