AND I WOULD WALK 500 MILES, AND I WILL WALK 500 MORE

r/USDefaultism strikes again

Inescapable wedgies? No thank you

Ditched school to get high with friends We all ended up stoned and staring in disbelief for hours watching it all unfold on TV Still not over it

I miss my rocketmail 😭

I feel like there were commercials and tv spots celebrating Generation X as “Generation Next” on TGIF nights and before that

Ask to move to my grandparents a year sooner, and never leave

I still sing this out of nowhere some times

Down by the banks of the…

My 23 yo and 16 yo knew it- my 7yo niece did too. I think the kids are alright

I’m a military brat who lived on a lot of bases in a lot of states and countries. TNG was my first Trek, and the concept of the ship made complete sense to me. Sure there was always the aspect of possible danger, but that’s just what you kind of accept when you are military. Most families like this are never in any danger. Im leaning on the enterprise D was probably a bigger opportunity than the risks are to an exploratory society.

Grew up in the Southwest. Currently in central Florida. I’m of Nordic/German/Scots-Irish descent so I’m translucent white. Yes. We wear it. Even in the northern parts. Especially in the mountain ranges. I don’t have Melanoma money but I do have the gene, so… But yeah, we would get annoyed if a show constantly threw in that step

Southwest California thing. Probably helped that my Tata grew up in southern KS though

So many nightmares


It’s almost like I was a kid in the 90s who went where her parents took her, and would never repeat that now. Not sure where the brag was, just an anecdote 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mine never took accountability and continued to use their own unhappiness to justify their disdain and neglect of me. We don’t talk anymore and I’m okay with it

I wrote this somewhere on the thread but I’ll never forget reading my Disney Adventures magazine in the nineties and coming across a Best/Worst style article. They had several of our favorites under the “best” category (Clarissa Explains it All, ofc) but on the next page…poor Jake Sisko.

Data, Crusher, River, Troi, and begrudgingly Worf. Picard said no thank you, and Wesley was grounded or something. They never asked Pulaski to join them but she knew

I saw that episode for the first time when I was about 12. It was awkward and terrible even then

Core memory unlocked 😂

ME TOO! 8th grade. At least 3/4 of my class was cheering.

Watched every bit of that trial that I could because my grandma wouldn’t turn it off. I lived in a place where I was a white minority. I was criminal justice minded, and pretty good at puzzles. I had to keep my mouth shut through that whole thing when I was at school. But man, I can remember liking that judge.

I LOVED that show. Made me the aspirational polymath I tryhard to be today

I’m there too- earlier than I planned since my littlest moved to her aunts. I never thought I’d be glad I was a young mom, but now I realize I still got energy to go out and explore life on my terms Did you guys have any plans for yourselves once the kids were out?

I was tickled during the whole exchange but let’s be fair, I think a lot of people just say US and think “utter nonsense.” Don’t blame them

Of course!! How silly of me! Glad you were here

“Utter nonsense” Explain

5 hours for Del Taco and Starbucks back in the late 90s

I have so many European friends that are floored when I try to explain the different cultures that vary state-to-state and the sheer distance I also love explaining to midwestern quirk of driving everywhere and that 9 hours is a medium road trip…

Military brat here who’s also travelled for work. I’ve lived lots of places. Washington State overall (Seattle is a city I’d want to be near, if not in) for well-being Oregon, parts of California are also good, especially in progressive moderate areas. (Corvallis, OR… also Crater Lake is my favorite place there, San Diego CA, Palm Springs, CA) Hawaii but unless you are Native Hawaiian, be mindful of overpopulation Kansas City. Lived there 10+ years. People really overstretch the dangers there- I lived near the “scary” parts but loved my neighbors and so much to do and see in the city. Maybe go for Kansas if you are wanting to live there tho because Missouri as a state is a pretty authoritarian If you don’t mind cold, Duluth or Minneapolis Minnesota. Omaha, Nebraska is trying really hard and inexpensive I cannot speak for the east coast although I’ve been eyeing Maine or Pennsylvania for graduate school I currently live in Florida. Wouldn’t recommend living here but it’s gorgeous for visiting

I don’t know, man, I’m an Elder millennial and all I’ve ever identified with having older siblings and cousins, is Gen X… but the cut off is 81 for this early ‘83, baby I will never ignore you, my friends. I see you. We are the part of the millennial generation that everybody likes to blame.
