You're making ME feel old. I remember having to go over my friend's house to play multiplayer.
Right??? Grab your NES cartridge, and make sure to grab the one that you borrowed from your friend last week. Throw them in your bookbag, and pedal your bike while your mom has no real way of knowing where you are. Sure you SAY you're going to Jimmys house, but it's not like you have a GPS tracker. And even if you did, how would your mom follow that that tracker? Go to the FBI and use their super computers??? Maybe you'd like her to ask for the nuke launch codes while she's there. Just be back home before the street lights come on, or dad's beating your ass!
Ah, the 80s. What a magical time. A magical time of AIDS epidemics, wars on drugs causes by and fought by the government, toxic toys not being recalled, and everybody being too dumb to care.
Nowadays, kids don't even HAVE bikes! You throw your kids into a strangers car, call it uber, and use technology the 1980s government would have dreamed of having to make sure your kid goes to that little shit Jimmys house.
Everytime I remember the world I grew up in, and then look around at the world I'm in, I feel like I'm missing a big piece of what happened. These two worlds don't line up. Like when I see old photos of my dad, from the 60s, I say "Yep, that sure looks like what my dad would look like if he were young". But when I look at the 80s, I think "that sure seems like a totally unrelated society. One in which absolutely did NOT age into this world....."
I don't understand life.
I was born early 90s and always had a bike, so kids not use them anymore, or is it a regional thing?
