Depends so much on the kid. One learned about negative numbers when he was 6 and understood it immediately, including using them in sums, and absolute value. The other is this meme exactly in 3rd grade.

It's like a big bang theory joke. Only funny to those that barely grasp the neediness.

Not to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but gnarly was at least a decade before rad. Also, epic is nearly 2 decades later.

Pwn, pwned was so specific to gaming it shouldn't even be on the list.

It was sold as reducing cavities, but really just for money.

My teeth make pretty good retainers. It seems like a weird nostalgia thing. There must be far more pop consumed in a bottle than in a fast food cup, and I've never seen anyone put a straw in a bottle (except on tv).

I was going to be nice. I want to. But you have your head up your ass. I don't even know where to begin if you think this way. Wages vs. Inflation, access to debt ballooning, housing is a corporate commodity. You are lost.

I was raised without religion, but read religious texts. I have always wanted to touch my closest peoples feet or wash them. It seems so humble and real.

Oof. Yes. Repressed abuse and early traumatic friendship (schizophrenia was his diagnosis). You become an "old soul" when you've seen/experienced some shit, even if it's early on.

Gen X to Gen X: we probably should have stopped saying whatever and done more.

Maybe it's always been a gambling addiction, i dont really know. My kids (and their whole school) don't play, but they buy and trade like they think they will make money. Some look up prices on TCG, some don't. They think alt art, misprints, and the one good card you get per pack is worth gold. I only let them buy with money they make.
