 Basically this omg. r.i.p Ice cube btw qwq |
| I don't think that I can call myself ancient when I'm only 22 years old. |
 |
| I'm 20 so I don't feel that ancient. Most teenagers today have probably never used a VCR. |
| I grew up with stuff like dial up internet, laser disc players, VCR (we still have one) and going to Block Buster on Fridays. |

| I don't feel ancient, but having my children discover a cassette tape and ask what it is does not make me feel very young. When I start to reflect on the fact that many kids now will never know what it is to have a corded home phone, play games with a joystick, and have to roll up the car window by handle, it is a good reminder that times have changed haha. |
| "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." |
| the bastards. Speaking of God cards, yugioh is something that makes me feel ancient. In my day the standard card looked something like this  Nice and simple, attack something for 1200 defend 800, and the mammoth skeletons defends the grave or some ish. Awesome Nowadays this is a thing  Like, the fuck am I even looking at? |
|
| Well, i'm only 20 but i'll go for it anyways. - knowing or recalling ps1 games. Ps2 also sometimes. -vhs tapes -childhood movies - the families on facebook like u said, its unbelievable really. Most married right out of high school. -early 2000's trends/memes i remember, for ex. the "don't taze me bro" clip. Also yugioh, was reminded of it by another post |
| I'm 18, but I feel more like a kid than "ancient". I'm not even allowed to drink yet, I got my first cell phone last year (most 10 year olds have phones now), and I watch TV shows made for little girls. |

| @ people mocking gender identity let's take a moment and think about how nothing in our human society has ever, ever, EVER stayed the same not the way we talk, the way we eat, the way we socialize, the clothes we wear, the government, the infrastructure. hell, even earth itself is physically not the same as it was yesterday, the day before that, the decade before that, or the century before that. the only thing that has remained consistent is the way we shit and piss so what exactly makes you think it is so odd that there are now more than two ways to identify yourself? is it fear? is it blatant bitterness? snobbery? ignorance? how about we stop trying to make fun and instead try to thoroughly understand, because it's obvious that gender identity is a serious thing to some people (actually, quite a lot of people), and calling it illegitimate doesn't say anything about you other than the fact that you don't have the ability to comprehend ideas that you weren't already taught or internalized and by the way, this whole "gender dysphoria" thing has existed before your great grandmother was even born. this isn't the first generation to experience "hey, I don't feel like what my genitals and society says I am" anyways, now that that rant is over with driving past my high school and realizing that every freshman when I was a senior with has already graduated saving up for retirement realizing that I can buy lighters and cigarettes legally when in high school I spent all my time and effort trying to find connections for it family asking if I've found a husband yet |

Dude, calm down. You could fill an entire ocean with that level of salt because someone got mad about your precious gender fluidity. I mean, this ain't tumblr. And CD is far from the best place to be seeking any kind of acceptance. Everyone is a complete and utter ass. Hell, half the things I say ain't serious either. If looking for some form of regressive progressivism, or way to garner attention and love for your identity, there's always a tumblr to retreat to. This is really not the place to be trying to tote your sense of social justice. It'll just get ya mocked and trolled. I'm left-center and my political viewpoints have still gotten backlash, you're not going to find a lot of people who care, nor who'll give you anything but venomous nastiness. So why try typing out an entire vent? I've been doin that shit lately and it's becoming quite exhausting, after awhile you're truly going to come to realization that no one gives a fuck.  |

Having grown up in the MS DOS and 16-bit era, and realising how much more computer games can do nowadays. When I realise how kids these days grow up in a world where using the internet is as normal as breathing. |

I'm not that dumb I've been here longer than you have lol. the thing that provoked me to write that rant is that everyone on mal claims to not know what gender identity is and doesn't put forth effort to try to understand, instead shrugs it off as illegitimate and continues to make a mockery of it without any.. real.. basis I don't care if you don't accept it, I'm not looking for love or acceptance, I'm looking for fucking competence. to look at an idea and unquestionably label it as "nope, shouldn't be here" is just playing into willful ignorance and I'd rather just combat THAT, not specifically gender identity. I'd wholly welcome an argument where a person has done the research and is fully aware of what it is, but still disagrees with the idea I don't care for sj bullshit, I'm just not completely obstinate edit- as a response to your edited part, I'm basically looking for discourse. arguing with tumblr usually puts me at risk of getting dox'd or having my account deleted because I'm not a complete tumblrite and I actually disagree with most of the shit they preach. anyways, soon enough I'll get tired of it when no one is up for challenging my ideas |

I'd wholly welcome an argument where a person has done the research and is fully aware of what it is, but still disagrees with the idea I don't care for sj bullshit, I'm just not completely obstinate Judging from your contribution to the "nonbinary" thread, your idea of gender mixes up defying norms with actual bio sex, mixes up not caring with having actual gender dysphoria, but that's besides the point. I don't even want an argument, I'm sick and tired of talking about why I think fluidity doesn't apply to gender, so I'm really done. I got booed off of tumblr for it and I don't want that to transfer over here. The primary reason I left tumblr was to escape the overspecialization, not to be crippled by it elsewhere. Primarily why I migrated to MAL. Sure, there are some fucking neonazi bitches who i would boot off the site in a heartbeat if I were a mod, but they're easily ignorable if I stick to my guns and spend more time in forum games, like I generally do, and not in CD or CE. I won't deny that there are a lot of ignorant people here, but I'm really one of the more accepting. However, I do cross certain lines that pertain to my old life on tumblr, that I personally don't want to deal with here, one of them pertaining to constant argument about gender this and gender that. Honestly I could care less about gender if people weren't such assholes about trying to reassure that genderfluidity or nonbinary whatever exists all the time. At this point I'm just done. almost every "nonbinary" fuck I friended on tumblr ended up mistreating, abandoning, or mocking me for not being PC enough for them, some of them even went so far as to try and witch hunt me and tell their friends who didn't even know me to send messages telling me to kill myself– I don't want to have to think about that part of my past anymore. |
err, yeah that's what I mean about tumblr I mean, like, I may contribute to gender discourse or just general social justice topics but I don't identify with anything tumblr stands for because I think their level of thinking is no different than the idiots here on mal but the difference between arguing on mal and tumblr is that I won't get harassed out of the internet for disagreeing |
