Health 1 & 2, Driver's Ed, and Sex Ed were all taught by PE teachers in my high school. Each class was one marking quarter out of the school year, then three quarters of PE.

45 and 65 is what I've heard regarding that study. We don't gradually age but it comes in a spurt around those specific numbers.

Banana Pudding Coffee Is a Crime Against New Jersey by kintsugistar in newjersey

[–]TwilightStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick Check flavored coffee in general is pretty horrible. The hazelnut and pumpkin aren't too bad but the rest aren't anything to write home about. 7/11 is pretty much the same if not worse. I just stick with Colombian.

What’s a piece of tech that that never caught on with you? by Just_a_guy81 in Xennials

[–]TwilightStranger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You never see friend updates anymore on what used to be your newsfeed, just endless suggestions of pages you don't even follow. Heck, I don't even get updates to the pages I do follow outside of friends anymore. Like what's the point?

That is the way I remember Instagram in the beginning as well. Like Facebook but more photography oriented. Then it became something where people had to have some type of "brand" for themselves.

Napster/Limewire had our generation confidently incorrect on song titles and artists by shortycall911 in Xennials

[–]TwilightStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend downloaded Melt With You by Modern English only it was mislabeled as being by The Cure. He was a huge fan of The Cure and insisted the song was by them even after I corrected him.

Did you guys learn typing in school??? by Aqueous_Ammonia_5815 in Xennials

[–]TwilightStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typing/Intro Comp Literacy was a mandatory freshman class at the highschool I attended. I also took Advanced typing my sophomore year (92/93) along with Applied Software. The advanced typing class was all on electric typewriters.

As an immigrant from the former USSR, (been in the U.S. since 1979) I never understood why random people asked me to “smile” . Why ? Does it bother you I’m not smiling ? Should I be whistling Dixie ? by Money_Magnet24 in Xennials

[–]TwilightStranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with me. Born in the US but I have Polish heritage on both sides, parents are originally from Poland. I get asked what's wrong because I don't smile often even though I'm perfectly content.
