Emphasis on “feel”, you can be 20 years old and still have something that makes you realize “i’ve been on the planet for quite some time”

    Ron Desantis. He certainly looks younger than many other candidates, but he still looks like a typical presidential candidate age. When I found out he graduated high school the same year as I, I’ve never felt more old.

    Age

    spoiler

    44,

    in case you’re wondering.

    Malena, my Sicilian lemon tree. I’ve planted her from a seed, and she has a woody trunk already.

    Physical pictures and albums…digital pictures are here for so long sometimes I forget we had to buy camera films and reveal pictures without knowing they’d be good

      The 3rd one really made me feel old. I was like a toddler when the 1st cars came out and was MAD about lightning mcqueen. So to see him attacked and constantly called old really hit me personally.

        This comment makes me feel old.

        More broadly speaking, these types of comments, where someone talks about being such and such age when X came out/happened/etc.

        In this particular instance, I ignored the cars franchise altogether until my first was born in 2013. I was finishing up a degree that I took a bit too long to get in 2006.

    Old technology and thinking of how life was before the Internet usually makes me feel that way. It surprises me sometimes how far we’ve come.
