Ask Lemmy

I had Empire Strikes Back bed Sheets

There was a misprint on magic the gathering cards that affected the artwork/coloration the year I was born. WotC recalled all of them and destroyed them all. The remaining ones that were already purchased sell for absurd money

My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.

AIM away messages and the passive flex of who has the best 'buddyprofile' that may or may not link to a livejournal or xanga page

I'm barely still a Millenial. Which is kind of cool. I don't like the "generation names" before or after that much, and I liked that I grew up with non-invasive tech and non-existent smartphones during school. I was able to grow up with tech but none of the tech I dislike today. Also, tech was still easier to understand back then. I was able to learn how to create web sites for example when HTML, CSS, JavaScript and CGI was still in its infancy and not very complex yet. Of course I learned the growing complexitty as it all developed but the point is that it kind of grew with me. Which probably made several things easier to get into in the first place. Also, I still grew up with almost forgotten values such as privacy, and my whole youth life (as well as dumb things you did when young) isn't available online and therefore "gone". I kind of like it that way.

I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo
