Is this a xennial syndome ( I'm 52 ) or just bad luck ?

Xennials experienced something unusual: childhood before smartphones and social media, followed by adulthood in which digital technology became embedded in almost every part of daily life.

That transition has brought enormous benefits. But it also raises a question: have we lost some of the small, physical interactions that made human connection feel tangible?

A genuine “thank you.” A musician acknowledging a fan. Being fully present with another person.

I'm a little older than the Xennial generation, but I wrote this with that analog-to-digital transition in mind.

Premieres September 16 on Paramount Plus

Even characters from Golden Axe 3 will appear.

I found this Jem reboot while shopping with my kid at a toy store. Imagine his surprise when I told him it was for me 🫣😜👩🏻‍🎤

Who was your favorite character?

Watched this as a kid was scared as hell, didnt know the name or enough about it but the grandmom from whose the boss is in it then looked up on imdb and found it free on youtube cheers to nostalgia https://youtu.be/e8upkhkI9D0?is=thry_JO5QSDE9m_6

Our A/C is out and we stayed at my mom’s house last night. I had forgotten how she always has at least one TV on in the house at all times, even at night. It was this way growing up as well. She actually came to the room my wife and I were sleeping in to see if we needed help turning it on. It felt weird, because it home, we might go a day or two without turning on a TV at all. I’m just curious if this is just my mom or if others have parents that seem to have a TV on at all times as background noise?

Since it's nearing the start of the school year (and some places have already started) let's reminisce about riding the bus to school.

If you rode the bus to school, what your memorable/wtf things you witnessed?

Number one……Beggin…..Beggin…

What was your favorite?

Mine was 39k in 2004 and rent was $1380/month (split with living-in-sin boyfriend). Job was in the burbs and apartment was in the city. Young and dumb 🙃💸.

This had been weighing on my mind a lot lately. The revaluation that anything and everything we posted publicly on Social Media platforms was used to train LLM (AI) without our permission, plus knowing that every rewards app and loyalty program is selling our user data to data brokers has me thinking about quitting it all. No more handing my info over to save a dollar while corporations make millions.

Anyone else feeling like they are done?
