When you look back at old SA posts, it's cringey at times how hard people were trying to make Good Posts.

I was reading the "favorite failed technology" thread from the beginning and someone wrote a big post about kodak advantix that was pretty informative and interesting. The end had USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST and I was confused as hell. Probation reason was "Try using some capitalization next time" and I was rudely reminded how tryhard this forum used to be.

My first probation was 3 days for page snyping for editing :synpa: into a post after I made it and it happened to be at the top of a page.

"Chaps" is upper-class English English that is basically equivalent to "guys" in American English so that might be what they were going for but who the gently caress knows.

Maybe it’s this, but my interpretation is that chaps usually keep your legs from taking a beating from the front, so if you put them on backwards, it protects your legs from getting pounded while you’re getting pounded from behind.

But alas, now we have a new generation, and we finally have come full circle.
We now have the "selfie/instagram generation. Anything for a "like" or a folower, now we are getting kids that are falling off cliffs to get a picture!

Again, the dumb ones are not coming home.

Yeah, childhood has been extended because people have life expectancies longer than 30 years and we don't lose 33% of kids to childhood diseases anymore (we still lose more mothers in childbirth than any other western nation, though!). Hence, it's not imperative to marry at 16 and get to makin' babies to run the farm.

If he's talking about millenials and zoomers living at home until their late 20s and early 30s, I refer my earlier post.

I'm glad ADVRider exists for the Flea Market. the esoteric technical knowledge that's buried in there, and some of the ride/trip reports, but the vast majority of the discussion threads are :psypop:

Yes. Because the boomers realised they could make more money funnelling customers back into their service centres.

The world has really turned to poo poo! Nevermind that our actions directly shaped it into the very thing we complain about.

Literally too dumb to realise they're complaining about poo poo they themselves caused. Like whining about being stuck in traffic when you yourself are the traffic, but with reality itself. Lead poisoning.

Technical point, I think any instruction manual old enough to acknowledge that the battery has "contents" which might be removable for drinking or any other use would be so old I think it would be in the CB750 valve adjustment era so if it says not to drink the acid then boomers are criminal scum.

I've been missing a treasure trove of boomerism in the disqus comments beneath the front page news articles.

They can use the same disqus username to whine about millennials, illegals, and obummer on advrider and their local newspapers!

When I was 16 I mailed a Xerox of my driver's license with an altered birthdate to the operator of a local BBS, just to get access to the porn section. Dial-up boobs.

I have to imagine even ADVRider has had some trolls try and fake their way into accessing that subforum - the only thing hornier than teenage boys is dirty old creeps.
