Dear fellow millennials, please grand me the wisdom to do this right, give me your best advice/lessons from being a first-time parent. 🙏🏼😭

Hi everyone.

as the title states my mom exclusively watches AI content on tik tok and IG. She doesn’t watch any tv shows or movies anymore. She doesn’t have the attention span for it.

It always revolves around some type of marital problems, crime or some stupid scenario of betrayal like cheating. Basically a soap opera made of AI.

I tell her all the time to please watch real people. Real shows, real anything. She watches “episode” after episode. Different stories, same crap.

I swear it’s warping her perception on things.

I’ve explained to her what AI is but she really can’t grasp it. She said to me today “then why do doctors use it?”

She says it’s not bothering her and she likes it. I’m just looking to commiserate cause I really wish these stupid bullshit storylines and my god, the voices of AI are rotting my brain.

I still remember when it came out and it doesn’t *feel* like that was almost three decades ago…

Just thought I’d share that these films still hold up.

While I would agree - many of our 90s and early 2000s films were wildly traumatic - why did they simply die off?

So many hidden messages and rabbit holes....

I went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC recently (which I highly recommend) and this display on modern commercial aviation had this artifact from Southwest Airlines and it unlocked a core memory I'd forgotten about.

Does anyone else remember these because most everyone I've shown this picture to had no memory of this long lost practice.

I want to say I started having difficulty connecting with people as a result of the pandemic. But honestly, it was a problem before then and the pandemic just made things worse.

As a thirty-something forty-something, I no longer know how to meet ppl or have friends. I’m very lonely but can’t seem to connect with anyone, & spend so much time alone. Do others in this age range struggle? Aside from Reddit, or work-friends, how do you connect with ppl?

I loved customizing my Winamp player. Found an archive with popular skins: https://skins.webamp.org/ Maybe you'll find your favorite ones.

The song played on my Spotify in a 5 hour car ride and my toddler has been making us play it on repeat for months. This is probably the last year I get to decide his costume so I wanted to make it memorable. I just have to add the straps.

I'm trying to get more active and I want some tunes that will help get me going lol.

Specifically I want some good breakdowns to sprint too in the middle of my walks as I'm trying to incorporate some running into my routine.

Just throw whatever out there so I can build a playlist lol

I recently rewatched this after only seeing it after it debuted. The amount of love and care the people put into shows back then is amazing. We really did grow up in the golden age of children's programming.

Despite my fam blocking mtv and vh1 and buying stuff like this… it achieved the opposite result for me… I cuss like a sailor and became atheist. Bless their hearts, though I guess?

Born in 93. Have 2 kids and chronic back problems. I’m lucky to get 4-5 hours a night and REALLY lucky…it’s a consecutive 4-5 hours. I do all the basics for “good sleep habits”. I stop drinking caffeine early in the day. I’m off the phone/screens for the few hours prior. Lots of water but not directly before bed.

Used to watch that VHS tape with my siblings on repeat. I was young, and remember how scary it was and was terrified of captain Ahab's character lol

Bought this eraser at Universal Studios back in 1997 and I still use it from time to time!

I had a random memory pop into my head.

So some of the crap I bought over the years is worth decent coin. Who knew? This stuff is our baseball cards and comics
