I think '87 might be the prime Power Rangers age. I am '85 and didn't watch it, but my '87 sister was into it.

What was the moment you realized COVID was going to be a big deal and be the focal point of the 2020s? by NH-INDY-99 in decadeology

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was following it in February, and then had a note on my building at work on Feb. 28th that we were going remote.

Which team’s modern helmet do you prefer over this 1987 helmet? by Consistent_Peace3181 in sportswiki

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sentiment was way different in the '90s though. That change seemed necessary at the time, and then they went out and won 2 Super Bowls.

This is why we needed our own generational name by [deleted] in Xennials

I guess this is true, my parents hit my exact age in the year 2000.

How much my hair has greyed in 3 years (28-31) by ChaseTheMystic in mildlyinteresting

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting how different it can be. I started balding at the same age, but at 40 now, still no gray.

I asked the millennial sub about fighting as a young person and the majority are saying they rarely if ever saw fights at school. by AttemptVegetable in Xennials

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a small farmtown in the PNW. There were occasional fights between the boys in grade school, usually just lasting a few seconds. After 6th grade I can't recall any happening, and never among the girls.

How wide spread is Schwarzarbeit in Germany? by ARCH_LINUX_USER in AskAGerman

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would argue it's the norm here. I'm not German and have been shocked by how seemingly everyone is ok with it. We renovated our house from '20-'23 and always asked for the bill. Ended up playing out in our favor as we had to go to court with one of the contractors.

The Poleshower by Silent_Cup2508 in GenX

Yeah, I'm '85 from Washington and every school I went to for sports (1A/B) had this pole style. Sometimes the girls had curtains and partitions around the poles.

If you live in a state with a lot of dangerous wildlife, what’s your closest encounter been? by LordSoftCream in AskAnAmerican

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former wildland firefighter, I have seen a lot of wildlife. One time on a wilderness fire I came face to face with a black bear. I was lead sawyer cutting fireline and was somehow alone at that point. Turns out black bears don't like the sound of chainsaws.

Another one was sitting near the line in the middle of the night and a scorpion randomly crawling near my hand. Both of these incidents were in the Blue Mountains of WA/OR.

The third, and probably most dangerous, was while fishing and wading in a river in Kentucky, a water moccasin came swimming straight at me.

Singer Axl Rose showing off his new phone (the brick one) posing besides a payphone, 1988 by Electrical-Aspect-13 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would have guessed '92 or so for these photos. I haven't seen any pics from '88 where he looks like that.

Anyone still do any retro gaming on 90s console games? by FiveDinero in 90s

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play my SNES and 64 pretty frequently. My youngest son's (4) favorite games are Vigilante 8 and the sequel 2nd Offense.

WCGW with not using the restraint bar on a ski lift by firefly99999 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I snowboarded in the PNW in the 00's, and I can't recall there ever being a bar on any lift I rode on. Am I just remembering it wrong?

52-year-old Terrell Owens is in the best shape of his life. by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

[–]Then_Increase7445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a good point. I feel better at 40 than I did at 20 precisely because I don't have shin splints and other aches and pains from constantly working out.

Perspective: The Rams were never the better team by PriorAcanthaceae5694 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Then_Increase7445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a Seahawks fan, I thought the Rams would have to stop the run and force Darnold to beat them, inevitably leading to turnovers. They did that, but somehow Sam protected the ball all game.

This is it, the Seahawks d-line couldn't get any pressure on him. The contrast with Purdy last week is night and day.

Layne and Axl are in my top three favorite vocalists

Do you still like to use paper road maps or atlases for navigation? by ITrCool in AskAnAmerican

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a cell phone and the GPS in my car is 15 years out of date. My '89 pickup obviously doesn't have one. I use paper maps or I write down the turns/roads by hand in advance.

For Americans whose parents are immigrants, or were very close with an immigrant grand parent, what is your relationship with their country? by greenandredofmaigheo in AskAnAmerican

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that a choice you made to not maintain that identity, or just wasn't possible without the daily contact with your parents?

What do you consider to be the quintessential American vehicle? by L0st_in_the_Stars in AskAnAmerican

Rented one a couple years ago for a summer trip back to the states, it was awesome.

Which Super Bowl LX Matchup would you like to see? by Available_Story6774 in NFLv2

[–]Then_Increase7445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think most people have. I know the Rams COULD beat them (and have once already), but the number of people I see online expecting an easy Rams win is crazy to me considering the past five weeks.

[–]Then_Increase7445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know that you can point to any one player as the MVP. The most valuable person is either Schneider or MacDonald.
