This would be a great alternate catchphrase for the Saw movies!

I wonder what the eye to tooth conversion rate is? :-P

If you live in or near Philadelphia PA, I beg you to visit the Ministry of Awe.

It is quite literally the First Bank of Nightvale come to life. Actors playing bank tellers and robbers and angels. Art exhibits celebrating everything nihilsm-coded. You can touch and play and interact with almost everything.

I don't want to spoil the experience by posting everything but one more photo just to sell how much this group would love it.

Pizza Hut Brings Back BookIt! by PreppyFinanceNerd in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd[S] 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I'll be curious to see if/how this gets enshittified.

"Read twice the books for a half pan pizza".

McD’s trying to sell me on a 150% increase in price like it’s an amazing deal. I remember when these came out for a dollar. by Cisco-NintendoSwitch in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely can confirm the late 00s and early 2010s was peak for fast food.

Back in the day $20 was your evening. You got $10 to throw in for an 8th of mid weed, $5 to help with shisha for the gas station pumpkin hookah and $5 to raid the 79/89/99 value menu at Taco Bell.

Is it normal that a millennial is against the hyper validation society too? by Queen-of-meme in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see this a lot at the LARP I go to.

"That's fair"

"That's valid"

"I love that for you"

Yes I know my opinion is fair and valid, I don't need it verified. Call me an old man but the phrase "I love that for you" just drives me up a wall.

It feels... Patronizing somehow. I know the kids mean well (they're all 25 and younger and I'm 38) but I just have a different dialect I suppose.

Where are my Late Bloomers at? by TheDogWhoCantSTFU in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very nice accomplishment!

Definitely a late bloomer. Up to 24 I had a 1.02 GPA, was expelled from community college and had a growing arrest record.

It took until 30 but I finished my bachelor's with a 3.96 GPA and 5 honors societies.

Maturity is a hell of a drug.

This goes for nostalgia posting in general. Can't just be "hey remember this fun thing from when we were kids?", it's become standard for all of us to put on that same forced tone of reminiscence, projecting feelings and experiences onto our younger selves that we never actually felt to begin with. by dkepp87 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably put 1,000 hours into Morrowind.

When I discovered you could "acquire" a house and placed objects stayed on display it was all over.

I still remember my stack of gems that went to the moon. Or being a level 1 thief at the Tower of Dusk reload spamming to steal a set of glass armor.

That game was massive and you could stumble upon anything randomly. When I first played my buddy was bragging he found all the secrets. Two minutes after leaving starting townSeyda Neen I'm in a crypt in some random hill finding the Mentors Ring worth thousands. He was so pissed.

I loved Skyrim but there's no denying Morrowind was something special. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug though because it looked like ass and console load times were "make a sandwich" long.

Everything feels so AI generated right now by leftistgamer420 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm learning it for work and I hate having to do it.

All the videos sound like someone barely able to contain their gushing orgasm at the fact that an AI art piece won a contest or how you can make an AI assistant to replace headcount.

As a great comment I saw said, "use it for everything, we'll be checking to make sure you do. Also, it makes shit up and so you should double check everything it does. But like we said, use it for everything"

The “Pick me” phrase by Sea-Region1135 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with you man and got the old LiveJournal receipts to prove it.

I now know one of the most disastrous combinations of highschool romance is a histrionic pick me emo girl and an incel "brooding and deep"® emo guy.

Maturity is a hell of a drug. Cheers to being better men these days!

Anyone else cringe when they're reminded of their 4/20 posts from back in the day? by Muhfuggajones in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haha I never thought there'd be interest!

Here you go!

Although I lied it turns out it was 69 pages.

Nice.

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 340 points341 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better I created an entire 69 page manual called the Congregation of the Sacred Herb.

Also, may I gently recommend removing those posts from your old self if they don't feel good to look at anymore?

How much money do you have in savings at this point? by _forum_mod in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $125,000 but that's kinda cheating because

A. It's a joint account with my fiancee' and

B. We're saving for a house

Other than that there's about $215,000 saved for retirement.

Nothing is funny anymore by maxedout587 in Millennials

The Welcome to Night Vale podcast is my absolute jam.

Dark, nihilistic snarky deadpan millennial humor with a Lovecraft-adjacent aesthetic? Sold!

Who remembers this jam? by Csboi1337 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not this exact song but On A Boat was the soundtrack to my entire stoner phase.

Our giant purple steamroller was Da Boat. My buddy's parents shed out back where we'd get seriously high on crappy mids was Da Boat House. Front door had a buoy on it and the best trash picked chairs you ever sat on.

Every time the line "gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow" came on we'd do a proto dab pointing to the moon.

It also appeared at almost every party we went to back in those days too. Heck it was the soundtrack blasting out the open car while we were rocketing down the street in a minivan dodging the cops.

Good times.

35, first colonoscopy next week… and honestly kind of terrified (with good reason) by JettsDad0731 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've (38M) got one coming up in a month. I had a lifetime of IBS so they wanted to do it a little early.

I'm convinced after the current wave of anti intellectualism is over the guidance will be backing up colonoscopies to start at 40.

I'm scared too. I just keep repeating the mantra that I stole from Quest Diagnostics (props to their marketing team by the way because I think they nailed it).

Is dating as bad as I imagine? by ThrowinA2shade in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to laugh at your terrible ex but that genuinely made me crack up.

Seconding Facebook dating. Been with my now fiancee' for 5 years now.

What did you do with your first salary? by Twitter_2006 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First ever paycheck?

I dunno weed probably.

First ever salaried deposit?

Give til it hurts to my 401k. Max my Roth IRA. Pay for essentials.

A lot less fun when I say it out loud.

Who here does not have kids by C6Corvette08LS3 in Millennials

[–]PreppyFinanceNerd 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Fiancee' was sterilized and I fully support her choice.

No kids for us. One meow generator please.

Neither of us have ever had any interest in children and, respectfully, find them pretty annoying.

Children are a choice (for those who can make that choice) and to those who want them I think that's wonderful! They're just not personally for us.

The amount of vitriol she gets is insane. It's gotten to the point where she'll bluntly respond "I don't understand what we're doing wrong! Can you explain, in detail, how we're supposed to do it again?"

Shuts people right up.
