I like Christmas music if it's traditional, but there's only so many times you can hear Mariah Carey butchering "O Holy Night" before you want to stick an ice pick in your ears.

Not exactly emo, but it does include a couple fight. Fairytale of New York by The Pogues. A classic. Also, it's a pop song, but if you can understand Italian, Le luci di Natale by 883. That one too has lyrics that aren't too happy.

Sitting in one of several listening booths with headphones to hear part of a record to help me decide which one to buy. That was at the record store.... Girls wore skirts or dresses to school, starting with Kindergarten. A textbook for every class I was taking meant I walked to classes with as many as 6 heavy books propped on my hip bone, wearing my loafers... Go to sleep with the bonnet of the hairdryer covering my rollers... Boys who had partime jobs could afford to buy a new car as long as they could make payments. With hand over heart, saying the Pledge to Allegiance in school... Parents werent so insecure they thought they had to bring a lawsuit for every perceived slight. Teachers ruled the classroom and were respected by students and parents... As a small child the best thing in the whole world was being able to buy candy with a penny or a nickel!

My granddaughter thought I was kidding her when I told her that girls weren't allowed to wear pants to school until my senior year, in 1971, and then it had to be in the form of a " pantsuit", not just a pair of pants, and denim/jeans only on designated days. Boys had to have their collared shirts tucked into their belted pants, and our skirt or dresses had to reach the tips of our fingertips, or something like that; it was a while ago, so it's hard to remember exactly! This was all in Florida, where it seems people are usually more casual, but I don't know what things were like in the rest of the country's public schools, in the 50's and 60's. We also dressed up to travel by air.

If you ever feel like time is passing at the pace of a hadron collider, you can be sure you’re not the only one. Most of us feel that the passage of time is inevitable, and that it only makes us older (but also wiser, more confident and happy overall!).

Having said that, it's no secret that our modern society is obsessed with freezing and even turning back time. This ageing paranoia that’s sweeping across our society has been heavily fueled by social media, where young folks constantly put pressure on achievements, looks, and everything, really. Its competitive nature shows that someone is doing better and has accomplished more by your age than you have.

There were two tvs in our house, but the smaller, crappy old one with a 12 channel dial was set aside for our NES system. Everything usually had a green tint to it, so Fire Mario looked like he was flicking boogers. If you performed 'percussive maintenance' on it, you'd get a blue tint instead. Until somebody stepped too hard or sat down too hard. Or set a drink down too hard.

There was only anything worth watching certain hours of the day. You couldn't watch anything otherwise. From 3 to 6, every channel showed talk shows. From 6 to 7:30, news on the networks, but from 7 to 7:30 the indy channels would show sitcoms. From 8 until bedtime: NEW SHOWS!... but only between mid-September and mid-May. Summer break? Christmas break? You can play outside all day long and STILL have hours to watch TV? OLD SHOWS ONLY!!!!

Being scared of ageing is not only nothing new, it seems like it creeps into the minds of younger generations obsessed with anti-ageing life choices earlier than ever in history. In 2018, a report from the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) found that millennials felt the most negatively towards ageing, viewing it as a steep decline and assuming dementia and loneliness as inevitable.

In some extreme cases where fear of getting older interferes with your life, doctors diagnose people with gerascophobia. “Gerascophobia sufferers have very frequent thoughts about changes in their appearance due to ageing and increasingly losing control over their life as they get older. These thoughts trigger panic attacks, shortness of breath, sweating and shaking," Dr. Rose Aghdami, a consulting and coaching psychologist, told Refinery29.

"Their behavior is affected too, as they often avoid certain activities which remind them of ageing, withdraw from social contact, and become more isolated."

The RSPH has also urged people to stop using the term 'anti-ageing' popularized by the beauty industry, since it could be putting pressure on women to see ageing as something inherently detrimental. Another 2017 study found that 30% of women under 35 were regularly using anti-wrinkle products, a fact that’s so obvious when browsing through social media that you don’t need a survey for it

...which leads to the "early adopter problem": We do not only like technology, but, other than most millenials, actually still like to know HOW it works internally, as this was needed in the earlier days to operate it. So you often buy something that hits the market in an early stage and needs to be configured or adapted. Then you refuse to replace it because it still works or can be made to work, leading to a house full of fully operational but deprecated equipment. Why a smart TV as long as you can stream via chromecast? Why a new phone when you have painfully upgraded and cracked the the old one to make it run the apps you use? Your trustworty Raspberry Pi has controlled your vacuum cleaner and heating long before smart home became a thing, so why upgrade to google assistant? I know many "Generation X" friends that have the same problem. The curse of the "Anadigi", of those who had the unfortune to witness the change from analogue to digital.

I dunno, I believe I'm a millennial (born in 1989), yet I was the kid who would open my electrical toys to see how they were built inside, and then put it back together.

I like options, and I like complete customisation and personalisation of the devices I use. With Apple I feel like the computer assumes I don't know how to use it, so it hides everything away from me, to protect itself.

Also, we were taught to be careful with stuff because it had to last. Nobody would have got rid of an appliance that was still working just because there was a new model on the market. I don't know if it was the same everywhere, but we used to take things to have them repaired. Now it's almost impossible to find a person who can repair anything, there are no spare parts because there's a new model of everything every six months and even worse, if you manage to find a technician and the parts they need, the cost of repairing the thingy is higher than buying a new one.

Thanks for years and years of gig work with no benefits and no retirement, in which I mastered at least 25 different software programs, but you won't give me a real job because you think all I can handle is a "Grand-pad".

Anyone out there remember McDonald's coffee stirrers with the tiny spoon end? Rumor has it they were discontinued due to their usefulness to cocaine users. They existed in my childhood. We used them to avoid touching worms when feeding various creatures. Wished I'd saved one years later when I was introduced to cocaine.

I often get that mixed up, for us 1900 = 19th century. Which doesn't mean that it starts from 1900, it's the end point and 19th century means 1800-1899. 1st century is 0-99 and not the 0th century. I was always confused as a child when texts said end of the 20th century and I wondered how they could already know that when it takes place in the future, because I thought it meant around 2090, but they meant the period from 1990-2000

The thing is, the tech behind it, is no longer anything like what it was in the 80s and 90s. Your phone is probably connected to your router and if it's not, I can assure you that somewhere down the line, not so far from your home, that signal does become digital. So what this dad is doing, is really just the same. And yes, it is a lot more comfortable.

Confused as to why it actually has moving cogs inside? Did some cassette decks actually detect changes in resistance to the motor turning and between the spools and it needed to fool them as well. The main part is the record head at the bottom, which fooled the play head on the deck.

The mechanism does in fact stop playback if reel tension gets too high. That was done so that cassettes did not have to be a predetermined size. Once resistance kicks in, the player stops trying to play the tape because that means it reached the end of the tape.
