30+ thread

Only 30 or older anons in here. Let's be smug over the snowflake generation on Sup Forums and remember all the cool shit they never saw

See the Berlin wall come down
See the Challenger explosion
See the LA riots
See vidya rise from atari and apple II level to current year level
Watch the Branch Dividians get rekt
Watched all 3 hours of Desert Storm
In my teens on 9/11
'Member pre-internet and pre-cellphone civilization

And I member the entire Clinton presidency so I feel extra rage when some 19 year old twat
is shrieking at me about shillary.

Ageism

I had a son with a kike

remember life before internet porn
remember life before mass media degeneracy
remember when gays knew their place (the closet)
remember when rap and crack destroyed blacks
remember pagers
remember biking everywhere for transportation, not as an identity

I saw a Crystal Pepsi in the store the other day. 'Member Crystal Pepsi?

I'm 32 and I wasn't out of 1st grade when most that stuff happened. I barely remember it happening

Every generation dislikes eachother because times are different and nostalgia.

Is it normal i'm just 25 yet i remember the first 2 live?

Is it the (((Steins)))?

if by Steins you mean television, yes.

Although, I remember seeing Reagan Shot, but that happened before I was born.

>remember life before internet porn
Oh yeah, late night Cinemax softcore was the closest thing to sex I got to see until I decided to finally check out all those unmarked vhs tapes my dad had hidden in a cabinet when I was 12.

Just hit 30 last week.

It hurts.

who else watched scrambled spice channel hoping for a brief glimpse of green & yellow warped tits?

Not only does it not get better, it actually gets worse faster

Like tears in rain, Scoob.

I still have an apple ][

>not building a descrambler from a kit

I remember the 24/7 news reports of Chernobyl constantly showing the molten core

I also remember the public service announcements and leaflets on what to do in the event of nuclear war; also the heavy entertainment-media focus on nuclear war

Remember the ultra nationalism of the late eighties and early nineties
Remember Hulkamania
Remember Macho Man
Remember when they hated each other :(

What cartoon is that gif from?

Rocko's Modern Life youngfag

Surprising isn't it? Oh cool that knee I use stopped working spontaneously. Nice, I always wondered what a slipped disc in my neck felt like! Gee, I sure do like straining to take a shit, it was far too easy before.

Don't get old mates. Things start to get really bad.

Both my parents are old and sick now. Mother has dementia and is going downhill fast.

>See the Berlin wall come down
I was 3

>See the Challenger explosion
Happened 3 months before I was born

>See the LA riots
Remember learning about them in school in probably around 2000

>See vidya rise from atari and apple II level to current year level
Had some computer when I was very young, had a tank game, don't even know what it was, mega drive was my first console

>Watch the Branch Dividians get rekt
I was 7, wasn't aware of it

>Watched all 3 hours of Desert Storm
I was 5

>In my teens on 9/11
Yeah I was 15, remember it very well

>'Member pre-internet and pre-cellphone civilization
Vaguely remember this


I guess I'm old but not quite that old

I was up late watching Tale From the Crypt with my brother when the show was interrupted to say Princess Di had been in a wreck. They finished the episode and then they announced she was kill

>tfw having to hear that Elton John song over and over everywhere you went

44 here

I remember the drills in school when we ducked and co ered. Also, "The day after" scared the shit out of me.

I have to get up at night to pee now.. I hate it you guys..

>He doesn't know about Kek in the avatar of Mr. Bighead
>He doesn't work at Conglomo
>He doesn't listen to Filburt's lounge singing
>He doesn't eat at the Chokey Chicken
>He doesn't go jackhammering on the weekends

>>tfw having to hear that Elton John song over and over everywhere you went

With a bit of luck Elton will pop his clogs before the queen so you won't have to listen to his inevitable remembrance song when the queen dies

The first time I had really bad heartburn I thought I was having a heart attack. My neighbor at the time laughed his ass off at me.

a-at least I haven't had a prostate exam. You don't really have to get butt poked by Dr. Bananafingers r-rite guys?

About to turn 53. Earliest memory is from 1967. Also remember going to Woodstock. I hate too see how much the country has fallen in my relavitvly short life so far.

Funny thing about that. Descramblers were/are illegal but the feds let these small garage-based businesses sell them knowing that some of them would keep a list of the people they sold them too. After some years they then raid the businesses and now they have lists of people likely to have descramblers which they then turned over to the local cable companies.

They will never have this man and that makes me very sad for the world.

Couple of years younger than you but yeah spooky times; media publications like Threads permanently etched into my psyche

'member John Major?

I long for the days where we could just pray those nig nogs off the streets. But nowadays it's "racist" and "inhumane" and we have to put up with their monkey business.

I'm 30 and i remember most of this

Will be 30 soon. Should buy a rope? How bad is it?

The kids are gonna have to live in the shit. I see no reason to be smug.

I love that they're getting redpilled and will do whatever I can to support them.

I'm 33 and I have to stretch every day so I don't feel like a crippled 60 year old at work.

It's fine

t. 31 in 3 months

>Be me in grade school
>See Hell yeah
>Anons, we're going to watch the shuttle launch
>Yaaaaay!
>Kaboom
>WTF
>Learned about tragic death that day. Teacher was so stunned we watched the explosion until the news feed cut

>Be stupid teenager
>Watch NBC news on "assault weapons"
>3 well dressed women talking about how evil they are
>One hick saying that they could someone with the chair they were on and absolutely no gun laws
>LOL assault weapons are dum
>Years later got redpilled

i fail to see how people your age could possibly relate to the shit you see on Sup Forums

please enlighten me

>your parents didnt have carphones

I don't remember a time without mobile phones, I was born in 1983.

Lololol all you old fags need to kill yourselves. 20 year old virgins ftw.

Friend I've been online since literally the start.

I was shitposting when you were born.

If you don't sperg out on things, younger people will listen to you.

Telling stories is fun about "the old days".

Work to keep from getting fat and lazy.

That is the one thing i wish i was able to see the look on every kids face as the Shuttle went boom.

I turned 30 years old, 3 months ago.

How is it being 30+?

>Also remember going to Woodstock.
Nice, bit jelly 2bh

Yeah i member John Major very well, he was always portrayed as a very grey and dull man in the media, I member Maggie too

>His parents were yuppies

I'm fucking younger pussy because the younger guys are betafags.

>See the Challenger explosion
>In my teens on 9/11

>Challanger Explosion January 28, 1986

Dude, there's a very narrow set of people who remember the Challanger Explosion and still were in their teens 16 years later

I dislike how this world has become, just like anyone younger than me on this board has. Have been on the internet since the early 90s. There are probably 70 year olds browsing on here as well. Plus no wife or children.

Better enjoy it faggot, it goes by really fast; you have no idea

Same. I think OP probably meant for this thread to be directed towards people 35+ because as a 30 year old I was too young to personally remember experiencing most of what he referenced.

Things I remember when I was 8, 34 now

Biking around the city all day, parents didnt know where I was or care, just be back before dark.
Had to remember people's phone numbers
Went into the wooded parts, hung around all day
There was a huge satanist scare, it somehow involved some weird game called dungeons and dragons
Everyone loved Jesus
Women would be told to cover up if too immodest
Girls didnt wear makeup or booty shorts
Never knew what the word faggot meant, just a word we used to make fun of each other

The future is weird and sucks, y'all. No amount of technology makes up for it. The NES and SNES were the pinnacle of gaming systems.

Wall street yuppies, like Peter Banning's character in Hook.

It may have been TV. I remember the Columbia one and there was another one I remember blowing up. I just assumed it was challenger, but I might have been to young.

How does the banter/"culture" of Sup Forums compare to the topics discussed when you were young? How do you think your parents would react to Sup Forums if they could see it?

kek his parents probably didn't even own a filofax either

I'm turning 30 next year. How soon should I invest in a rocking chair and supply of Werther's Originals?

perhaps the single event that turned gen x into a bunch of cynics and pessimists

man the internet before the free porn sites sucked, I remember downloading shitloads of 2-3 minute mpegs off Napster or whatever the other p2p fileshare programs were back then and burning them to 700mb CDs lol

You sound like you're either from the sticks or a pretty removed suburb. People and places like you're discribing never went away, just move to the middle of the country if you miss it so much.

It was weird. We all knew it went to shit but no one said anything. Mostly because the teacher was just staring at the screen.

Never saw a shuttle launch again unless it was prerecorded.

>werthers

Those are nigger tier toffee.

Step ya' game up.

pffft pls, my dad had a pager AND a 300 baud modem

Don't even get me started on the Corvette and the reel to reel player

>His parents never bought him Disney movies on laser-disk

I feel bad for the young folk of this generation. Since the beginning of their lives they've been drinking water contaminated with shit that turns the frogs gay. No wonder they can't get any pussy.

>>'Member pre-internet and pre-cellphone civilization
>Vaguely remember this

Built stuff out of LEDS because holy fuck look at this stuff this is literally the future.

Go online for the first time.

"Fuck yes, finally I'm home."

Haven't left yet. I expect they will have to peel the keyboard away from the forehead of my mummified corpse.

"Remember when" is the lowest form of conversation.

nah, from a 50000 city, niggers took it over now. can't do any of those things without getting shot.

What do I do? I'm still a virgin. Even underage b&s are fucking like rabbits these days.

That said, I really miss arcades and local co-op. The social "in person" aspect of games today are gone.

Black people were pretty much civilized until the mid 1980s, when hip hop culture really took off. We didn't jabe an illegal immigrant problem, and most people despised the LGBT community. Things were better back then. Our parents would honesly most likely agree with many Sup Forums topics.

I remember the civil war, it was not find hiding from the government kill squads.

>your Dad wasnt so successful that he needed a phone coupler to instantly share ideas with colleagues.

Wow, what a homo.

See a prostitute, get the curiosity out of your system and realise sex gets old pretty fast, even if you have a good girl is crazy in the sack. Don't let it rule you.

redpill me on the political situation oldfags

is it really as bad as it seems?

I just keep my head down and focus on my immediate life. Relying on the msm and the government to make your life better is goy-tier. I just don't want to see liberty unravel over this shit.

>people your age could possibly

desu, you either age or corpse.

any one over 50 on /pol is going to have a universe of real life shitpost at their fingertips

>In my teens on 9/11
Barely over 30 son.

I just miss the good ol' days were I didn't have to share bathrooms with dirty jigaboos

Why are you worrying so much? Look at donald trump 70 years old and hes the president wants to run 2 terms. At 30 your life is only beginning.

>implying being "pure" is something bad
in polish word "virgin" can be replaced with word virtue (you can replace both both in some cases) - whats wrong that you are unique like .. unicorn or other mystic animal ?

He's at least grabbed pussy.

I'd honestly be just fine if I died today.

32 here.

>is 30+
>asks us how being 30+ is

?

Go away,grandpa.

For real, the news always had a bias towards the power structure. But that being said, things have gone exponential. There's virtually nothing left in the way of objective journalism. I can't even watch TV news any more, it's too frustrating.

I think we're entering a zone of social upheaval like the 60's but with a real pushback against the globalist/left agenda, and I couldn't be happier about it. But they're going to push just as hard against it.

You might be 53, but you never went to woodstock.

I was born under the rule of my General Augusto Pinochet The Great

You're living the nightmare, user. You tell us.

beep... Houston, Tranquility base here - The Eagle has landed... beep

t.Old bastard

see the chernobyl explosion

holy shit I was on that street with my mom on that night we got home just in time to see the news of the raid

see google make their appearance.

member when the History Channel showed history?
member when you used to watch TV?

>Kermit!

Kek is fond of kids , this is why he is against moloch.

This is what's called subtle population sampling.

Post your zipcodes and favorite animals pol

>smug

I'm turning 40 this year and my life is a complete waste. I've nothing to be smug about.

tell dad to buy this stock when it goes public
dad says good idea
dad never buys stock
coulda been rich desu senpai

Parents didn't take helicopter approach, could leave for hours on end by the age of 8.
