I think a big chunk of us are gen X. We used BBS forums, Usenet, then slashdot. Then it went mainstream. Move to digg. Move to Reddit. It keeps getting ruined. Now we're here but I guess at some point we'll migrate again. Nothing is permanent.

    Hey now some of us are older Gen Z. But I grew up around a lot of old tech so I'm weirdly more similar to millennials and Gen X in some regards on that front.

    next time you see your parents give them a hug for raising you right

    also the tv. the tv doesn't get enough hugs and i'm sure it's sad.

    I was raised by my grandmother, my biological fathers a rapist (I know from experience) and my mother is fucking crazy due to untreated bipolar disorder. Also yes TVs don't get enough appreciation.

    She's going up towards Elk Bend. Also she's leaving from San Bernardino California so she has a couple days for shit to dry up.

    Also yeah Idaho while beautiful also kinda just sucks, luckily unlike Utah it can be salvaged pretty easily.

    i'm trying to think where my favorite places to eat are along that drive. i'm thinking 15 to 84 is better than 5 to 84 and all the places i like are on 5. there's a taco place called Rosie's over in Yucaipa worth popping off onto Yucaipa Blvd and getting off the freeway for a few minutes if it's mealtime, but that might be a little early in her drive.

    I live in Yucaipa with my grandmother, she loves Rosie's. Personally more of a Bravo/Redlands burger type of guy, though I do have to drive down to Redlands for that.

    I'm up by the bay area/sacramento but we make the drive down to phoenix to visit family every so often, and we had some friends in yucaipa so rosies was a frequent stop. is redlands burger the place with the good zucchini fries?

    No clue about the zucchini fries since zucchini texture doesn't agree with me. But it's got good breakfast burritos and burgers, it's across the street from a postal facility.

    i will have to check it out the next time we drive through. about a decade back we were visiting our friends in yucaipa for their wedding and after the wedding we went with a bunch of our friends from home (we lived in Davis, CA at the time) to find munchies. it was only 8 when the reception wound down and we were looking for someplace open near UofR. It was shockingly quiet for a college town at 8PM. All I remember is finding a place with zucchini fries that, like the fries were almost a foot long. I kind of want to eat them again. Unfortunately the frier at the local zucchini fries place gives me the squits (which i'm sure you wanted to know), so i really have to want zucchini fries if i'm going to eat theirs because i can't get the breading to stick right when i fry them myself.

    Yeah that sounds like Bravo burger. It's only a couple minutes away from the university once you get on the south side of the freeway. Like I will drive by the university to avoid highway 38/lagonia traffic bullshit, when I crave beavo burrito.

    gen X. We used BBS forums, Usenet, then slashdot.

    Yeah it's weird but I get that exact feeling here sometimes. Some shit I get away with here would fly in the 90's maybe early 00's but def not on the mainstream socials. I find myself both pleasantly and worriedly surprised.

    It keeps getting ruined. Now we’re here but I guess at some point we’ll migrate again. Nothing is permanent.

    We are the trailblazing swarm of locusts.
