Y'all don't understand. We had to learn you don't have to rewind DVDs before returning them. It was stressful.

MODERATORS
I'm a xennial and I'd say I'm doing pretty good at keeping up, but I'm also a software dev so that probably skews things a bit.
I feel like its an advantage to know the analog way to do things in addition to the current norms. For example, navigating by paper map and direction of the sun, like some kind of land pirate.
To be fair, us elders had grifts and money laundering too, so crypto is nothing functionally new.
OK, this one kind of hurt a bit. I can't be the only one with a functioning VCR in the room with them right now...
Nope.

FUCK YOU! I understand crypto and STILL have a VHS tape I never returned. pfft. arrogant youth. now where do i push to send this to reddit?
I got to be alive before mobile phones and social media.
Worth it!
I am immeasurably grateful that the entirety of my youth is not on record.

I seriously wonder how much brain damage I avoided by squeaking in my teenage years before the invention of smart phones.
Honestly I understand better now why old people complained about computers so much. We don't even know what we lost.
I was born in 1983 and I’m old enough to remember having only 5 tv channels, vcr’s, and you couldn’t get on the internet if your mom was in the phone.
I can remember only having 3 TV channels, and they closed down sometime around midnight until the morning. You got the fuzzy black and white bits of CBR on the screen when they turned the signal off
When videos came out, only my richer friends had them and they were few and far between, we used to have an after school video club where we'd pay 10p to watch a film in the AV room (sat on a carpet of old piss stains)
The internet didn't exist, and I saw my first computer while at secondary school in the late 80's (I'm thinking BBC commodore or something, I can't really remember)
I feel so fucking old right now lol

I may be older but I know how to take a selfie without my phone in it.
....why is he replying to himself?
Character limits and/or not being able to edit the tweet to add more thoughts once posted.
Listen here you little shit: you think you’re superior because you rebranded Ponzi schemes with AI merde?
It hasn't been that hard in my experience. Ignore shifts in the social landscape until the yung'ins reach a consensus about it, and always remember that time just before the dotcom crash when a company got venture funding to deliver tuna subs by mail.
Crypto is an EMP away from being worthless
I'm against crypto but this logic seems same as money is one fire away from being worthless.
Which is true. We just give worth to things to make it easy for transactions.
Also, modern money is also susceptible to an emp, arguably more so than crypto.
