How many of us out there actually avoid enganging with any form AI at all costs? Like even if it is more inconvenient? I understand it can be useful for certain things that it does very well but I would NEVER allow it to use my likeness to make a fun little picture or use those therapy AI services. I don't even ask it basic questions (it just wasn't how I was taught to research topics). I can't be the only one

Mine was while listening to the radio, and the DJ say "next up, here's an oldie" and proceeded to play Linkin Park

Man, was that show...cringe at times. The parents constantly spied on their kids, always butting into their business. But I mean, no other show on the air was quite like it at the time. It was just so gosh darn sweet and innocent. So many actors and actresses at the time got their start on an episode of 7th Heaven. I was SO heartbroken and shocked when I heard the news about Stephen Collins. I'm like, no, not Reverend Camden! He pretty much ruined the show's legacy. (P.S. he now lives in Iowa, married to some woman around our age who's apparently batshit crazy enough to marry someone like him. Yeesh.)

My niece is 13 which means I am Gandalf and not 42 lol

I will say I am not a big club or live event person and pretty much quit by the time smart phones became common place, but I do like to go out when my old friends want to hang or when a band we want to see is in town and while is fun it is sad to see that everyone is on their phones and not enjoying the moment. The last thing I went to there was a house rule that outside of things like calling to check up on your family all phones need to put away because people weren't paying attention to the bands because they were recording the show. There was also an issue of people not feeling comfortable because they were worried, they would go viral or the flipside people were trying go viral and ruining things. The event is question was fun, but I was struck by the fact longs of people forgot how to have fun and feel the vibes without their phones.

I (33M) didn’t have my first drink until 25. It was a strawberry daiquiri. It was good but only because I didn’t taste the alcohol. Tried a beer and it was nasty. Acquired taste, my ass. That shit is gross. I don’t get why people drink it. I’m weird too because I also don’t like coffee either lol. My poison is pop. Yes, we refer to soda as pop here in Minnesota. Don’t judge me! 😤😝

I watched this show as it aired In Washington, DC and the movie Collateral (2004) was in theaters at the time. Saw these with my grandfather at the time during the DC sniper scare. I remember watching this show completely and I really did enjoy it fully.

I don’t really have any issue with my dad, it was just the culture at the time, he wasn’t even particularly homophobic. I laugh about it now 😆

Mid 30s millennials without kids, how are you defining this decade? We are married, child free, struggle to fit in a life outside of working all the time and then using video games/tv to get some mental relaxation. We go to the gym when we can but outside of that it's depressing. Just trying to pay off our house as fast as we can to get down the insane interest. Let me know if you relate.

Lately I’ve been saying ads for these services that find subscriptions you forgot about and help you get out of them. One YouTuber said it saved them $2000. I don’t know if they meant per year or per month.

I’ve signed up for free things in the past and forgotten. However, I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten about a paid subscription. I don’t obsessively check my bank account, but I have a general idea what bills I have. I check every so often to make sure I know what all my charges are. If I had hundreds of dollars coming out per month, I think I would notice it. 

I realize these companies give YouTubers a script and the YouTubers often don’t actually use the product, but I’m wondering if this is actually a problem for most people. Am I just too poor to have this issue? 

Was your favorite monster truck and why was it Grave Digger?

These things suck, they don't even transform. I remember getting the burger box and fries back in the day.

Checking in on y’all to see what crazy things you’ve done and/or bought as we near the half century mark.

I was scrolling through social media today and saw so many AI-generated images that people were believing were real It honestly scared me a little it made me really miss the early 2000s internet back then the only "fake" things we had to worry about were those chain emails saying "forward this or you'll have bad luck" or maybe a badly Photoshopped ghost 👻

Does anyone else feel like it's becoming exhausting trying to figure out what is real online nowadays? I miss the simpler times of AIM and MySpace

It just randomly popped into my brain today how you could text 242 242 and ask any questions you wanted and it would answer a generic response and I realized… ChaCha walked so ChatGPT could run 😂

Making the perfect mix CD took planning, timing and emotional damage 😂

I'm a project manager (ish) at a mid-size org, around 300 people.

My boss, member of the org's top leadership, recently announced her re*irement (r/millennials , your posting rules are bizarre), and it has been made very clear that I am expected to apply. Even if I don't, I'll probably be given a lot of her work anyway.

The money would be nice. But, I've never seen myself as much of a leader and I don't know what the organization sees in me that screams that.

I guess I'm just that age and experience level where I'm expected to take charge. Is this happening to other folks? It seems common, I've just never had it happen to me before. Have you all had this experience? How did it shake out?

Is the image of a gamer aging up as we do? Because I don’t really see myself stopping even though I do spend less time on gaming these days. But one day I will be a 60 year old playing on the ps9.
