May I add party line on the home phone. And that was of course the standard ma bell provided rotary.ThunderWeasel said:Rouge_x said:Panic at the disco are 10 years old. Duality is 10 years old. Wait and Bleed is 15 years old. Damn I am freaking old.....
I must disagree. Old is when you can clearly remember a time when there was no internet... no cell phones... no home PCs... only 3 TV networks... no cable TV... even cordless phones were a rarity.

When erector sets (not a dirty word there) were hot selling toys. Chemistry sets ACTUALLY sold with chemicals in them to kids, all of which will get you put on watch lists today if you buy them.
Your parents still hadn't made the jump to color TV, cause let's give that fad some time to see if if it stays around, right?
You can remember when students first started taking a course in school to learn that new invention, the calculator.
And people had to know the Dewey decimal system.
I'm about the same age as you (I'm 25) and trust me, I know how you feel. Realizing I had a crush on Britney Spears at 8/9 is just really weird to me.Rouge_x said:JerryBoBerry said:May I add party line on the home phone.

I remember using the home phone instead of the bricks we used to call mobiles. We didn't own a computer until I was 7 which was when they were brought into schools (before there was only one for the entire school). I had proper chemistry sets too.
But I'm not old enough to remember all of the other things You've both made me feel tons better mwhahahaha :whistle:
Yeah, most of us use it that way. Or as a "hugs" replacement if someone is sad or an "I support you" replacement. "Thank" seems to have many meanings on here!WizofAus said:Is it okay to use the 'Thanks' button as a 'Like' replacement?
It can also mean I really hate your guts and everything you just wrote and I wanted to quote that vile piece of trash you just wrote so I could respond to it but I hit the wrong button and now I can't reverse it, dammit! :angry4:NicoleRiley said:Yeah, most of us use it that way.

There actually is a real world case just like this. An inventor from Alexandria by the name of Hero came up with a whole bunch of stuff. Coin operated slot machines, automatic opening doors...He invented lots of stuff. One of the things he invented was a steam engine. Basically fire heats up water then steam shoots out a ball with pipes set at opposing angles. That turns it. He made up a model of it, put it on a small 'train' of several cars with it hooked up to the wheels. He then took it to the rulers of [what is now egypt] and let it drive across the room saying this could be built to large scale and could haul heavy loads over great distances.Rylee said:What if time travel was something that would've been a reality in present time if 10 or some odd years ago, some once genius kid hadn't lost a few brain cells from some minor head injury?
Maybe it could've been invented by now, but the one person who had the brain power to do so fell off of a skateboard or dove into the shallow end at a young age.

They looked at it and simply said 'what would we do with all the slaves doing that work now?'
And thus because of the shortsighted nitwit ruling class, the Industrial revolution didn't happen 2000 years ago.

Christmas is absolute balls for me. It's just a reminder of all the things I haven't had for the past 10 years.
My mom died without warning 5 years ago, my grandma had a stroke during my early teens and went from sharp and optimistic to downright miserable my father left before I was 1 and when we tried to reconnect he disowned me over a petty argument, and my grandfather locked me out of my house, liquidated my stuff, and took my mom's money to put in a trust fund he has control over but he won't talk to me unless I call or visit him which is impossible.
Everywhere I see so many people talking about spending time with family or getting gifts, but for me Xmas is a normal day, just with loads more agony.
