James ThomsonAdult life mostly consists of exclaiming “christ, that happened ten years ago!” about a variety of different events until you die.
Robb Knight@jamesthomson fast and furious came out 22 years ago just fyi
Boba@robb @jamesthomson what the fuck
@robb Jail for Robb, jail for a thousand years!
@jamesthomson reference acknowledged
Stuart Gibson@jamesthomson And then someone says “You mean 20 years ago?” and you shrivel into a ball?
Allan Chow@stuart @jamesthomson and then your COWORKER says "oh yeah I think I remember my dad talking about that"
Just JenE@grumpasaurus @stuart That parental card play is devastating.
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@grumpasaurus @jamesthomson @stuart My first devastating moment of feeling old was when I was trying to bond with my American client over American TV series I saw in my pre-teens in Sweden ...
... which had stopped airing before they were born.
@grumpasaurus @jamesthomson @stuart Airwolf. =)
But same era. =)
John Gruber@jamesthomson Ten years from now this post of yours is going to bother me.
@gruber Here's hoping!
Brian Warren@gruber @jamesthomson John, I'm reminded of this post of yours. One I think about a few times a year. https://daringfireball.net/2011/12/merry
Dave Nanian@gruber I was just thinking that the last time I saw you in person was at C4[1] in 2007, and @jamesthomson even further back at WWDC...2006?
Gah. I'll be out back digging my own grave.
@dnanian @jamesthomson Funny enough I was thinking about your MIH watch just yesterday.
@gruber @jamesthomson Synchronicity.
I think I sent this to you when it came up on Hodinkee, but in case I didn't, Christian Gafner has re-introduced the MIH watch, with small (but nice) changes, as the Mechanik2: https://mechanik2.com/
Albert Kinng@gruber @jamesthomson Your comment make me laugh very awkwardly loud in front of my family.
Warner Crocker@jamesthomson This is most certainly true.
SloanLA@jamesthomson And everything hurts. Randomly.
Tristan Louis@jamesthomson pshaw.... It doesn't count if it was ONLY 10 years ago :)
.... Kids these days
Jonathan Polley@jamesthomson Mine is telling engineers on my team “when I started here, we used to…”.
David Grigg@the_other_jon @jamesthomson Trust me, it’s when you start exclaiming “Christ! That happened 50 years ago!” as I now do, that you have to be worried.
John Link
Casper 👻@jamesthomson
Only 10? Why in my day …
Only 10? Why in my day …

Richard W H Bray
Paul Wiebe 🍁💭🇨🇦🏳️🌈@jamesthomson And as you continue to age it stretches to "was that really 50/55/60 years ago?"
RevJeber@jamesthomson @wiebepaul
I can say all that but can’t say 70 years ago for 7 more months. This thread is making me feel old. Life is making me feel old.

Eric VeyEvery generation has to fall into the same pits, while saying, "Why listen to the crazy old people!"
Brian Walsh@jamesthomson Don't forget discovering new pains every time you get out of bed in the morning.
@brian How could I forget!
I guess@jamesthomson I just had my first one of these does it get better y/n?
@iguessitwas Do you want me to lie?
eurozerozero@jamesthomson Too real 😑
This is me with music, all the time. Like the other day when I realised Underworld’s A Hundred Days Off was released *20 years ago* 💀
@eurozerozero Blue Monday is 40 years old.
@jamesthomson James, please 🫥
4am ❧@jamesthomson I'm in this post and I don't like it.
David Scott Moyer@jamesthomson Ten? You must not be very old.
LSMua 🏳️🌈@jamesthomson I see this, and raise you weird hair in places it shouldn't be.
@LukeSMUA And no hair in places it should be!

Roadskater, Ph.D.@jamesthomson It made me feel old when there were 30th anniversary showings of CADDY SHACK. That was 13 years ago.
Ari Ofsevit@jamesthomson unless you are Christ of course
PixiePancake@jamesthomson Invariably, when they talk about some long ago occurrence, I was thirty at the time.
@MissPixiePancake Yes, I often think “wasn't that last week?”.
Doug Masson@jamesthomson And then you'll wish it was just ten.
Brandon@jamesthomson this is how I felt when I found out how long ago Random Access Memories came out
Dave Hay@jamesthomson and explaining film and TV quotes to others way younger than yourself
Etc.
@davehay The “No it's the kids who are wrong" quote from the Simpsons is 29 years old.
Also, aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper ?
keen456
keen456@jamesthomson Way too real...
Lisa Melton@jamesthomson This. 💯
Except for me it's usually "twenty years ago." Also, I swear more. 🤦♀️
Walt Mankowski@lisamelton @jamesthomson Lately I've transitioned to "before you were born."
