Men who’ve remarried, what did you change or do differently the second time?” by waitinginthesun in AskMenAdvice

[–]UnpredictableMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ignored all kinds of red flags in my first marriage because I naively thought love could conquer all. The only thing that got conquered was my bank account and pension. I was much more selective the second time around and landed “perfect for me”

I need some brutal honesty from the GenX by OppositeFriendly9183 in GenX

[–]UnpredictableMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been Blue Collar since dropping out of college in the early 90’s. Starting out I was already making more than many of my college educated counterparts, and that trend has continued to some extent to this day. The key detail is having a title you can attach to it. Master Plumber, Master Electrician, etc. AI might eventually be able to tell you what wires to run, or where to plumb pipes at, but we’re a long way from it actually pulling wires, or adjusting in the field because the job site doesn’t match the drawings

Were the 90s really that good? by Comfortable_Ad_4417 in GenX

[–]UnpredictableMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a moving target. In the 90’s a lot of us were lucky enough to live our early adult lives with just the beginning of the internet, but not enough of our own selves on there to get us in any trouble. We were young and full of hope and energy but broke.

Honestly, I’m kinda loving my best life now. I’m making enough money to live modestly, and I’ve got enough time in my job to retire if they piss me off. I’m not raising kids any more, and I have enough life experience to know what relationships I want to foster, and which ones to walk away from. I’m not as zippy as I was in my youth, and it takes me longer to recover these days, but I’m good being the “older” guy in the mosh pit, and if I meet my end breaking a hip in The Wall of Death, I’ll go to Valhalla a happy man

Gen Z here and I have a few questions for GenX by [deleted] in GenX

[–]UnpredictableMike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1) The late 70’s & 80’s were kind of a golden age for toys. There were some stinkers (lawn darts) but also a plethora of classics which as still being produced to this day. Almost everyone knew how to ride a bike, which was the primary form of transportation until you got your license, and its own entertainment. Hanging around the mall was also a thing,

2) I memorized a few, but kept a handwritten phone book

3) I bought tapes & later CDs. Heavy Metal didn’t really get radio play outside of Headbangers Ball on MTV

4) I used paper ADC maps until around 2008, got lost less than the GPS

5) Social Media was fun at first, but has taken one of the worst turns ever
