1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

dude I fucking hated that one. My dad always worked late and had an hour commute so I would be caught in dread, grounded and waiting til 8 or 9 when he would get home

 

has anyone noticed that the 2nd/3rd gen kind of sarcasm and meme responses are slowly leaking into the 1st gen subforum more and more when people have tech questions?

 

lame

 

I don't visit the 2nd or 3rd gen forums often enough to recognize any trend

 

I did too. As I've gotten older I've actually started to feel bad for my dad over that one, because he was used as a threat to behave so it sort of forced us kids to live in fear of him. Something I will never let myself be used as with our daughter, not that my wife would ever do that. She grew up in a similar household but with a worse version of that.

Oh yea. I feel you, my dad had the same kind of "fear me" mentality. Even as an adult he will occasionally try and say some shit about how he "can still take me down"


glad to hear that you've become aware of it and want to be a better parent to your daughter. Sounds like she is in good care

This sound still scares me 30 years later

 

Some folks might just give it all up
And end up black and blue
But I'll keep on fightin'
While I'm standin' in my boots

 

Fortunately that was never used on us as kids, I know my parents grew up with it (my mom grew up in a Catholic school where they would smack you with a ruler lol), but that was one line they didn't cross with us. Spankings were though but never with a belt or other object.

I believe fear is a powerful motivator when it comes to armies and keeping criminals at bay, but when it comes to children I don't personally think that's the best way to handle it. I think its the easier way but in the long run you end up with kids that fear you and I don't want my daughter to ever fear me.

 

yeah, it's usually when the title is something that draws them in...something open ended or vague usually. "Did I mess up?" or "What's that smell?", 3rd gen buffoons can't just walk away from threads like that. Like moths to a flame

 

Gah you really ARE from California

 

Maybe I've just lived here too long lol. But no I'm from the midwest originally, spent most of my life between here and TX though.

Favorite state we lived in was Oregon but that was only for 10 months in high school

 

hehurherure it totallead now gib to me

 

anyone here watch the ultimate adventure from motortend on YT? Loved a mazda truck on bags they had on there

 

I'm just giving ya shit.. as much as I was beat as a child I don't actually condone it, however because of how much I was beat, it's kinda my immediate reaction when lil shits get outta line




That's one big reason why I'll never have children

 

found it. They called it "maz grande"
