    I’m baby-faced which keeps me sane but that resolve was shook a couple days ago when an 18 year old (that was born the year I graduated high school) found out my age and said I was old enough to be his dad 😔

    I disagree. Time actually stopped around early 2010’s. Seasons change and shit, but stuff isn’t changing no more.

      For fear of being told I’m old, I agree with that. Most all the previous decades has fairly obvious delimiters give or take a couple years. Once the internet and slab phones became ubiquitous it feels like things have melded and stopped changing as rapidly. With fashion we’ve gone cyclical with previous decades coming back in style too.

    Depends who you ask, some would consider that age group to be the at the end of Gen X and some consider that the beginning of the millennial. So people in that age group can consider themselves members of both generations.

    Started growing my beard in, for the first time in years. It’s white. Hell yeah I’m old

      I’ve been getting aarp stuff since I was in my early twenties. I guess I deserve it though. I signed a bunch of my friends up to get a free box of depends.

      It’s happening to me this year and I feel it. I’m going to be an old fart that I said I never wanted to be. Wish I owned a lawn to yell at kids to get off of, guess I’ll just have to settle with being grumpy in the hallway of my rental whenever I cross paths with another human.

      i crossed that threshold a little 2 years ago and both my eye sight and hearing immediately started calling it quits once i hit 40. i always thought that being a stereotypical broke ass millennial would keep me young so long as i didn’t have a lawn or medicare to obsess over, but it’s clear that it’s not true since i’ve lost count how many times gen-z’ers misidentified me as a boomer and fellow millennials keep insisting on pushing the millennial birth year further up.

      I work in a school. I laugh and joke a lot with the teens. Sometimes I forget I’m not one of them and I’m 40. I’m just as immature as them, just more experienced. A lot of my coworkers forget what it was like to be a kid and how boring most of us are. School sucks, remember?
