    Born too late to explore the known world.

    Born too early to explore the stars.

    Born just in time to browse dank memes.

      I have two 4k monitors, and two laptops and a desktop controlled from one mouse and keyboard with seamless traversal across all of them thanks to mouse without borders. Desktop goes to one 4k monitor, split into 4 quarters to give the equivalent of 4 1080p screens, and each laptop is displayed side-by-side on the other monitor (plus their own 1080p screens to give 3x 1080p screens equivalent each… The picture in picture mode on these lg’s is actually usable). It’s an upgrade from the previous 4x 1080p screens to the equivalent of 10x 1080p screens, and I still need more screen space!

    We watched the world transition from avoiding AOL to depending on the app store.

      I am also 32 just let it ride, exercise a little, and fantasise about non-drug fuelled orgies no matter how rare that is

    You’re not going to mention my chair? It’s two tone and has a cup holder, headrest, and adjustable lumbar support. Deserves some credit yo.

      I’d argue those born between 1976 and 1984 are living the best timeline currently. Childhood in the 80s, teens in the 90s, and able to operate in both a analog and digital world.

        I was born in 1972 and appreciate that I’m able to remember my sister’s early eighties Fast Times at Ridgemont High days, went to high school myself in the eighties, then college in the nineties right as Nirvana was hitting the scene.

        It hasn’t been the economic sweet spot, but it’s been a great cultural spot.

          I felt like the 90s was peak teenager, everything went downhill after that. It was the end of the classic teenage culture, before cellphones and the digital age. It felt like the last iconic age. Since 2000 everything has felt stale, nothing popculturally groundbreaking. Big transitions in the general culture but nothing that feels like it defined the decades. There isn’t a 2000s or 10s look or feel, they are just stale.

            My daughter’s high school years in the 2010s definitely seemed bland to me. Maybe I was being aloof via nostalgia, but it just seemed like the whole thing was devoid of cultural flavor.

            Then she got robbed of any meaningful college experience because COVID hit during the spring of her freshman year just as she was getting her bearings.

            I genuinely feel sorry for that generation, not because of the stereotypical old person lens of “those damn lazy kids,” but rather they didn’t get any opportunity to be damn lazy kids up to no good.

    I bought a solid, aluminum reinforced, mechanical keyboard specifically with the function to turn off the LEDs. I’m trying to run a workstation with parts that last more than 8 years, not a circus.

      Yeah, the 80s was more of 8-bit home compouters, arpanet/usenet and the 500 dollar Caboose.
