So you were 13? You've spent nearly half your life signed up here.

You're probably right.Hudini wrote:Don't. There's quite a lot of nostalgia threads around here. "Computer Nostalgia Thread" perhaps. But don't take my advice.TheEndlessWaters wrote:I should probably rename this "The Nostalgia Thread." It makes much more sense.

The problem is that whilst I've typecast myself as curmudgeonly I've basically allowed myself to live vicariously through the perceived 'common sense' opinions of older posters on here. I've been clamoring for peer acceptance since I've signed up on here, with only marginal success. I was one of those kids that was a total slacker but knew a few cool scientific facts so I dined out on being 'smart' for far too long. I actually don't know a lot about anything really, but enough to sound smart and intimate people I meet. I guess 'normal' people just see me as overly precious and insular, so I already fend off 80% of people I meet 'at the pass', to use another analogy I'm not actually smart enough to be entitled enough to use.The Gunner's Dream wrote:And you? You've been here even longer than me. With almost 3 times as many posts as me, 90% of them curmudgeonly bitching.
