I was born in 81 too, and in grade 12, my friend and I would watch Pokemon every day. We were way too old for it. Now I'm a HS teacher, and knowing those original 151 Pokemon is a huge asset when relating to my students!

That's adorable. I always wondered if truckers liked honking their horns for little kids. It seems like it would be one of the only perks to that job.

In the province where I live there are several yearly "truckruns". These are events where the truck drivers have a person with intellectual disability in the passenger seat, where they drive in a convoy through several villages and where the horn is being honked constantly. I used to go and watch them pass by when I was a kid and it was guaranteed half hour cacophony of honking while we waved towards the trucks. And that's just them passing by, they probably end up driving and honking for at least two hours. Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 15:22 on Oct 19, 2016 |

Always makes me wonder how many people are walking away from that with hearing damage, those things are loving loud.

LawfulWaffle posted:... Having a non-specific puking illness is the best schadenfreude. This last week I traveled out east to visit family and was sick for a day for non-specific reasons. Lots of vomiting. I was with my father and he decided that, instead of just letting me be sick for a day, he would tell everyone in my family that I was on deaths door. People I didn't even know were asking me if I was OK and how my health was. Was I dying? Am I able to soldier on? It was ridiculous. I was sick for 24 hours and got better. That was the alpha and omega. Jesus Christ, sometimes one gets sick and then gets better. How does vomiting equate with death? It's the single most common, simple, illness that you can get.

CommonShore posted:I was born in 1981 and every two years, like clockwork, I am reassigned to a newly-designated generation. Off the top of my head I have been told that I am Gen X, Gen Y, Millenial, "The Internet Generation," and a bunch of others that just go in oue ear and out the other. Basically these labels are bullshit and not descriptive in any useful way. I've noticed that as well. I was born in 1978 and so far I've been Generation X along with a handful of others. I think it's just Baby Boomer mentality trying to relate to the youth today in terms that Boomers can relate to but no longer truly understand. So instead of realizing all people age, the Post-Boomers will always have a different name and a different sort of issues that somehow make us not as great as the Boomers or somehow different and prone to mockery by a generation that is really uncomfortable with not being young and in charge of culture in the way they once were. I suppose the real schaden is that the Boomers did change the world but in the same way fell victim to the same things they claimed to be against, even to the point of trying to label the youth in a variety of ways that have never stuck. Also, Pokemon is a good divider if we were talking generations. Being raised on '80s cartoons/toy commercials, I missed the Pokemon thing by a few years and it still seems strange to me that it caught on. To me anime was just those adult cartoons in video stores that were full of nudity and gore. mostlygray posted:Having a non-specific puking illness is the best schadenfreude.

I never got why a day or two of illness suddenly had to be justified either. Sometimes you get a bug. It happens.

Ghost Pepper-Eating Contest Leaves SF Man With Hole In Esophagus The Journal of Emergency Medicine quote:But one man almost didn’t. Doctors at UCSF Medical Center are reporting a case of a 47-year-old man who came to the emergency room with severe abdominal and chest pain followed by “violent retching and vomiting after eating ghost peppers as part of a contest.” The man ate a hamburger with a ghost pepper puree that was so hot, it burned a hole in his esophagus, which then collapsed one of his lungs. He spent 23 days in the hospital and went home with a tube down his stomach.

flosofl posted:Sounds like he aspirated some of vomit as well. I think what happens is air goes through the hole in the esophagus but cant get out and as the air pressure builds in the chest cavity it collapses one or both lungs. afaik the solution is ramming a needle into the chest to drain excess air. It happened in the movie Three Kings in a prety graphic scene.

Wait till you're 36 and realize the things that were important to you 8 years ago now mean nothing and you let the one thing you truly cared about go because you couldn't find a middle ground. There will be nights when you're walking home with a random woman you've just picked up in a bar and you'll let your liquor soaked mind pretend it's actually someone that holds meaning to you. You'll call her a different name by mistake, but you'll both ignore it and then quietly make your way home after she falls asleep. You'll make drunken small talk with the cab driver, unload a bunch of baggage on him, then tip him a $20 once you get home. You'll slide into bed and look at your ex's number through slightly misty eyes and wonder to yourself if she still had the same number. Then you'll wonder if she'd even answer if you called. You'll realize that the answer to both is obviously no and sleep will slowly fall over you. Right before you slip into unconsciousness you'll mutter to the dark emptiness of your room, "At least I don't work Saturdays."

To me anime was just those adult cartoons in video stores that were full of nudity and gore. Born in 1979, was already out of high school when Pokemon became popular, and I can only name a few things from it through cultural osmosis and niece's/nephew's descriptive fandom of it over the years  Another good divider I find is the princess's name from the Super Mario games: Toadstool or Peach? I still call her Toadstool
