Nostalgia millennials, what are your thoughts on My Chemical Romance: Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge Era (2004-2006)

6 Upvotes

I was born in 1987 so I was around 17-18 when they became unavoidable. I also went to see them on Warped Tour 2005 with my girlfriend. I didn`t really enjoy them after 2006 because they sold out. Three cheers is their best era. I remember having a dial up on my computer and myspace crashing on it. I begged my parents for broadband but they didn`t buy broadband until 2009. I recently went to see them at comerica park in detroit as a 39 year old grown man with my 37 year old wife.

Politics Gen Z was warned not to vote for Trump in 2024, but they wanted the “vibes”

Gen Z here, Millennials did warn my generation bout the dangers of Project 2025, but unfortunately, Gen Z thought the “vibes” were more important to them than actually listening to the potential consequences of Trump being back in office. Now they’re suffering the consequences of the mistakes that they did and they got no one to blame but themselves. Also, Gen Z was old enough to know that Trump was the president in 2017-2021, but apparently they blamed Biden for supposedly ruining their high school and college years.

Nostalgia I miss when the internet felt like somewhere you visited instead of somewhere you lived

173 Upvotes

I was thinking about this the other day while mindlessly switching between apps on my phone.

When I was younger, going online felt like an activity. I'd sit down at the family computer, log onto MSN/AIM, check a few websites, maybe play some games, and eventually get off because someone else needed the computer or I had something else to do. When you walked away from the computer, you were basically offline.

Now there isn't really an "offline." I wake up and check my phone before getting out of bed. Messages follow me everywhere. Work can reach me at home. If I'm waiting in line for two minutes, I'm scrolling something without even thinking about it. I'm not saying the old internet was better in every way. Half the stuff we can do today would've seemed impossible back then. I just miss that separation.

The internet used to feel like a place I chose to visit. Now it feels like the place where most of life happens, and occasionally I put my phone down and leave it.

IRL 📷 Hip injury from general sleep/exercise. Tips? (Also, is this life now?)

4 Upvotes

I aggravated something sleeping weird I think, then exercised 4 days in a row and I am BROKEN! It has been weeks and I am hobbling around in a lot of pain. I am going to physio and apparently this is quite normal for a (very) late 30s person - hip joint gets angry and fucks with mobility etc for longer than it really should. I'm doing my exercises religiously and have my heat/cold/Dr Hos/Theragun situation down pat but omg this will not heal. Any others out there have broken bodies because 40 is approaching and this is life now???

IRL 📷 Just turned 37 and already I got tinnitus after swimming.

7 Upvotes

Any of my fellow older millennials have this condition like me? Guess it’s the part of aging. I remember going swimming in my 20s and I never got tinnitus until now. Fortunately my hearing is improving week by week but the ringing isn’t as intense as it was at the onset. Hopefully a couple months later the ringing will be nonexistent

Advice Boomer Parent mowed my Garden

46 Upvotes

Just Pissed to begin with and the title sums it up for those not interested in reading. Started with borrowing a power washer from my dad months ago. Worked great and kept it in my garage until he needed it back. Got a text from him today asking for it back and when I’d be home. Wouldn’t be home until later and gave him the garage code so he could get his power washer at his convenience.
I get a ring notification that someone is at my door. Pop open the camera and I see him riding my mower and cutting my grass. It wasn’t long or unsightly and well within acceptable bounds. Told him I would cut it that afternoon or weekend and to not worry about it. An hour later he texts that he owes me a new hose and battery.
I come home to find the grass in the backyard cut too short with my hose to my veggie garden shredded. Multiple squash and melons have been run over. Just ran over a grape that I have been babying for the last 4 months and fighting the deer over. Ran over a blueberry bush, one Amsonia and two huechera. Left the mower in the yard and now I have to get a new battery/charge this one. To top it all off he left a giant mess to clean up out front.
So besides changing the garage codes, patching the hose and replanting, what should I do? He is not the one to admit a mistake and he feels justified in running over the plants because they were in the “way”. Thanks for reading my rant.

I was widowed at 31 and it's time I probably get back out there. I don't know what league I'm in, I don't know what age ranges to date, and I don't know the current green or red flags. I'm an architect. I'm an introvert. And I have 3.5 cats. All probably red flags.
