@InfiniteJes I don't understand why they cancelled -- and I REALLY don't understand why they made the decision so early yesterday. They had plenty of time to clear parking lots and sidewalks, and roads were fine this morning. #backInMyDay

Whenever a generation takes up the "things were better back in my day" mantra, it's a perfect diagnostic that their memory is starting to falter.

#Games we’re better when they required a certain amount of imagination to play. Low res graphics, stories that didn’t coddle the player, and a level of mechanics that allowed the player to get truly lost. #backinmyday
Having been exposed to Boost template errors and Clojure tracebacks I don't really understand the critique of nix error diagnostics. If anything they're being too nice by including contextual information, no matter how irrelevant it is. #backinmyday #itevenhascolors

All I want for #Christmas is a slow news week. I know it's too much to ask for these days but back in my day this week was all fluff stories about the hottest toys and how great consumerism was... It was a simpler time

My mom loved to go to midnight mass at San Felipe church. Back then, it was always snowy, the plaza would be all lit up, somebody would be playing music and my dad would let me have some rompope. #BackInMyDay #NewMexico

Not trying to be #backinmyday about Halloween but it was such an amazing event as a kid to me for like a decade and I feel like kids today are losing such a big experience of growing up by having trunk or treats instead.

If safety is the concern why not organize groups like on FB or in the neighborhoods so a parent is with them or kids have a pack to travel with and route. I guess I just want Halloween to be a real experience again and not so artificial.

Also, the two, 2TB drives I ordered? With shipping, $45.

Y'all I remember saving up $200 to purchase a 1.2gig drive.

More than that, I remember a cousin who has 1 megabyte of storage and we were all like, "How will you ever fill that up?"

In 1987, we built neural nets with punched cards uphill both ways in a snowstorm. Now these kids just ‘use’ AI without proving Fermat’s Last Theorem first. Disgraceful. 📉🤖 #BackInMyDay #AIgatekeeping

“Back in my day, children were seen, not heard”—and look how well that turned out! Just generations of emotionally stunted adults who panic at the word therapy.
