Me too!

📌

Yeah, I was uneasy with those novels of heinlein

Sci-if Fantasy series I read as a kid (80’s-90’s) that would make me cringe now:
Xanth series - oh hell no.
DragonLance
Anything by Jack Chalker
Integral Trees / smoke ring by Niven (normalization of women as property)

Things I think stand up:
“Friday” by Heinlein
Discworld

Yeeeeeessssss!

This will be me when I return to Skyrim or Fallout 4 after finishing Veilguard.

I was aware of 2nd gen, but my parents didn’t let me get one. Btw, colecovision was 2nd gen - it was in EGM along with the 2600 and intellivision. I was a PC gamer though - Apple II, Atari 800XL then MS-DOS.
It wasn’t till FF7 I got a PS1. Currently have a XBOX S, so gen 5-9.

I miss the SFBC… sigh…. How I discovered Pratchett.

💯

I think our generation (Gen X) was named that because we were “X-treme”? I blame our consumption of Mountain Dew.

Correct! Kitchen and bath connections shouldn’t use lead connections - outdoor spigots don’t have that requirement.

Old and sad (and wondering if anyone paid attention to their civics and history classes)

Second those, and also “Wyrd Sisters”

I’m disturbed that this is bipartisan.
