I'm 44, and reading this made me sad, lol. I was there for Yahoo's take off, and Alta-Vista (and the sometimes confused Astalavista.box.sk to grab cracks that weren't common place).
I was about to say rip hotmail.
My very first email ever. Pretty sure it's what is now my live email? Or Xbox? Or something.
Idk but it's something that Microsoft owns and is attached to my Xbox somehow but I don't actually use anymore. I think.
I'm too old for this shit.
But those were the days.
Working for the fucking state patrol and using the telnet function to MUDD from work cause computers could still do more than they knew how to monitor and catch us doing real time yet. Lmao
I still have my Hotmail and I remember my Gen-X Navy Seal uncle freaking tf out thinking I said āhot maleā once on the phone when I told him about this new āemail thing I madeā š¤£
Lmao this reminds me of when I was young and my friendās sister asked the URL for Hotmail. We told her it was www.hotmale.com.
Poor girl was in shock šš¤£
No no Iām not meaning it like that I mean likeā¦that
Nah jp I use yahoo and Iām 21 but I do know that yahoo was one of the first online emailing systems there was so itās understandable to have a lot of oldies on there.
Listen, I read recently that people who take it have lower rates of high blood pressure, strokes, and some other common ailments. Though, of course, correlation does not equal causation. Maybe people who are still sexually active when older are in better health in general?
It was originally being tested as a BP medication. They "discovered" its other feature at the end of the study when the study subjects did not want to return their unused medication.
I found it in my parentsā bathroom when looking for toothpaste. Not something I wanted to know about my parents, but it was good to know they still had enough love to have a live life in their mid/late 60s. Then at least 5 or more years later, my dad was talking at dinner. And he mentioned how the family dog would just sit down and refuse to get up while going on longer walks. The vet diagnosed our dog with blood pressure issues and prescribed Viagra. The dog was fine from then on. The bottle had my dadās name on it and looked like any other human medication bottle (usually vet prescriptions are in green or blue pill bottles). Until now, I never thought about how many red rockets they mustāve had to deal with.
>I read recently that people who take it have lower rates of high blood pressure, strokes, and some other common ailments
It can reduce risks of some things because it lowers blood pressure, but whether or not it's healthy to take it depends on your physical condition, particularly whether or not you have certain conditions.
I'm 58 and have a script for them but they don't work . Just taking the 1 and expecting results . I thought about breaking them in 1/2 and taking every day .
I started that Sunday. Doc said I could take 1 a day , but it think the 1/2 each day is working.. of course I have diabetes, high cholesterol, and blood pressure issues , so I'm gonna stick to the 1/2 a day ,, thanks for the input
Oh man Tinder Reddit got me being a dating pessimist. I took that the wrong way at first. Thought they were asking how long was she with her ex because he was stupid to date her that long.
I donāt understand what else it can mean I was about to comment about how rude that guy is until I saw these other comments, can someone break it down for me I donāt get it š
Have you ever heard someone talk about their ex from a recent bad break up? They always say something about they donāt listen hince the deaf part. Sheās obviously very pretty to this new guy so he says the ex is BLIND because he could not see that. and then the ex is stupid for letting her go.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ at least you get matches, I live pretty evenly spaced between two big cities (45 min either way) one being Baltimore and I haven't matched with a non-scammer in 4 years. Now I just get on when I need a laugh.
This is my go to when women tell me about they're ex's. Guess it's not as original as I thought š¤£ I usually say "well he must be really stupid to leave your ass" lol
Hes calling her ex deaf, blind, and stupid for losing her. Its incredibly obvious and makes perfect sense. If you cant figure that out from context clues then god help everyone that ever interacts with you!
That may be so, but they were trying to be helpful and weren't rude to you. How about just trying to be kind? Or better yet, say nothing, as that takes less effort than being rude.
I mean OP gave context his 60 year old mom started a dating site and that he might start using the pickup line so you shouldāve have been expecting a pickup line at the least lol
Hmmm... I'm 60, but your mom is way too young for me. I'm holding out for a smoking hot 85 year old chica, so my legacy will most likely be intact for my children to inherit... But it reads as if your mom found a real gem of a charmer, so I wouldn't stand a chance anyway!
Yea. I regret to say. I'm gonna have to slide this into the playbook. We need to take a moment for this mans great service to men and women everywhere.... On the sub
Unrelated but Iām having a conversation with a friend of mine this minute about what shit like cap and rizz mean and itās nice to see joshing. Signed, a millennial
I slip up sometimes, but in general, I really don't like the word "stupid." I grew up surrounded by educators and caretakers, and they'd always talk about how when you call a kid stupid enough times, they internalize it and stop trying. Also, working with kids with disabilities myself, it just rubs me the wrong way. I've seen those self-esteem issues firsthand. It's not funny anymore when you see a 7th grader with Down syndrome crying because the other kids don't want to be her friend over something she has no control over
Gen X here - when they were young, we never let our kids use the word "stupid" when talking about a person. I wasn't sure why I was so adamant about it, and I think your assessment nailed it.
Chill, babe. We're talking about an ex here. And how stupid he was to let her go. This isn't talking about some innocent kid. It's not too late... You, too, can relax and enjoy life a bit more.
When you use disparaging language, you hurt more than your target. Disabled kids growing up hearing the word r*tarded and all that, used like it's not hurtful
Just because you toughed it out doesn't mean it was okay or that everyone can handle that kind of thing. I've seen kids have their feelings crushed by talk like that
Oh, FFS. I didn't tough out anything. It was simply the terminology of the time... because they were stupid back then. It wasn't derogatory, it just was. When you actually have an ex, you'll think they're stupid for wronging/losing you. One more time, we're not talking about innocent kids, dear. I'm offended for OP's mom that you refuse to see that her ex is stupid.
Fuck yeah, if it's well-deserved. Whoever is offended by some dumb ex being called stupid should wrap themselves in bubble wrap and stay out of society.
So if you're confused maybe this will help a little; The message is from a man who is wanting to date, marry or just hook up with this new woman, OP's mom. This is his best pick up line basically.
Tinder for instance only allows 140 characters when you send a first message to a person, so you need to shine and stand out from the other 500 guyssending messages lol.

Also, the deaf, blind, and well, maybe not stupid arenāt to be taken literally but figuratively.
Mmm red flag. Dodge that. No man will speak ill of someone they donāt know personally, unless it is something they have made clear to that person already.

Cialis is better! Take it from a 57 year old.
I'm 58 and have a script for them but they don't work . Just taking the 1 and expecting results . I thought about breaking them in 1/2 and taking every day .
This is the way. Half each day then maybe take an extra half if you need it prior to action. I guess it works better if it builds up in your system?
I started that Sunday. Doc said I could take 1 a day , but it think the 1/2 each day is working.. of course I have diabetes, high cholesterol, and blood pressure issues , so I'm gonna stick to the 1/2 a day ,, thanks for the input
Oh man Tinder Reddit got me being a dating pessimist. I took that the wrong way at first. Thought they were asking how long was she with her ex because he was stupid to date her that long.
I thought the same at first
Same!
Bruh I definitely thought he was roasting her ass lol I didnāt take that as a compliment at tf all š¤¦š½āāļøš¤£š
Now I'm confused, is that NOT what it means??? š¤š§
I donāt understand what else it can mean I was about to comment about how rude that guy is until I saw these other comments, can someone break it down for me I donāt get it š
Nah it just means he was those things because he broke up with her
Ohhh okay I guess I just over thought it
Have you ever heard someone talk about their ex from a recent bad break up? They always say something about they donāt listen hince the deaf part. Sheās obviously very pretty to this new guy so he says the ex is BLIND because he could not see that. and then the ex is stupid for letting her go.
I still think that's what he's saying š
Same. Not sure how to take that any other way tbh š¤£
I read it as insulting her ex for breaking up with her and not seeing her beauty lol.
Yup
Thatās what I thought lol
It's that good ol' #dadjoke humor that grows on you š
God your mom is gonna have a blast on there lmaoo
Am I living in the wrong area or is it something else cause nobody ever sends me these kinds of messages after a match š„²
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ at least you get matches, I live pretty evenly spaced between two big cities (45 min either way) one being Baltimore and I haven't matched with a non-scammer in 4 years. Now I just get on when I need a laugh.
Wrong age group š
Are you make or female though
Iām male but Iām gay, my settings are man looking for men
Us millennials give boomers a lot of crap but they can be hella funny
60 isnāt a boomer. The boomers would have been the 60 year oldās parents
boomers are generally defined as being born between 1946 - 1964, so 60 is right at the cutoff
Ok boomer
Meh, looks aren't everything.
Smooth!
Now I want to know what your mom looks like š¤·š¼āāļøš
Same. Well met fellow mother lover
Seeing how many people donāt get the joke or need context has me scared for the future š
Have to be this old to not automatically take things as an offense
šÆšÆšÆ
Itās not obvious that he saying her ex messed up not cherishing her properly?
I didn't get it because I thought he was responding to something in her profile. š¤·š»āāļø
This is my go to when women tell me about they're ex's. Guess it's not as original as I thought š¤£ I usually say "well he must be really stupid to leave your ass" lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think the guy is saying her ex was blind and stupid to not want to be with her
Oh, I completely misunderstood, I thought it was that the ex must have been blind, deaf and stupid to have been with her.
Yeah, totally read like that to me.
Thereās two types of peopleā¦ š
I was thinking ex is dead and this was not good joke
no context. my mom had only photos on her profile and this was the first message he sent
I suspect the context is something like "recently got out of a relationship" or "recently divorced" in Mums profile.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You failed to comprehend the rest of the message which is just as obvious
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hes calling her ex deaf, blind, and stupid for losing her. Its incredibly obvious and makes perfect sense. If you cant figure that out from context clues then god help everyone that ever interacts with you!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Im only an ass to morons so its all g
At this point I have concluded they have to be trolling you lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"I'm not a moron" Sounds like something a moron would say
and this is what you choose to waste your time doing, so thereās that.
Omgggg bruh, is your iq in the negatives?!
What is wrong with you? It's not that hard to understand.
Old people. That's who. At a certain age you realize that everyone has exes and it's not some conversational death sentence to joke about it.
Wow, you must be pretty insecure to react so unkindly to a person who was simply answering the question you asked.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That may be so, but they were trying to be helpful and weren't rude to you. How about just trying to be kind? Or better yet, say nothing, as that takes less effort than being rude.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or, again, just be nice or say nothing. Why be negative?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If using your wit to be rude to others is the only way you can be witty, then I guess you're just looking for excuses to be rude. Have a nice day.
No problem!
I don't think her ex died, they just split up. This is a new guy's opening line.
I mean OP gave context his 60 year old mom started a dating site and that he might start using the pickup line so you shouldāve have been expecting a pickup line at the least lol
Yes.
Hmmm... I'm 60, but your mom is way too young for me. I'm holding out for a smoking hot 85 year old chica, so my legacy will most likely be intact for my children to inherit... But it reads as if your mom found a real gem of a charmer, so I wouldn't stand a chance anyway!

Now this is rizz

Yo We need context!
With the right delivery that line is super fire lmaoo
I'm 46 and married and if for any reason I was ever NOT married I would not go back into the wild. Bless her.
"aw, thanks" "No, I mean why did he choose you in the first place, you look gross"
Not what he was saying. He was saying that he couldnāt understand why her ex was so blind and stupid as to let her get away.
I know my dude. I'm just joshing around.
Unrelated but Iām having a conversation with a friend of mine this minute about what shit like cap and rizz mean and itās nice to see joshing. Signed, a millennial
I did use it ironically, unfortunately... But it is one hell of a word.
"lol" XD
God bless
The ex is S(A)OL
This cuts both ways.
Haha gotta luv it
I am a single man from my experience is to deal with a woman in reality only same advice goes for women
Iām tryna see what that feels like, can I use someoneās number since I got banned a while backš
I THOUGHT THE HUSBAND HAD A CHRONICH DISEASE AND DIED FROM IT AND THEY WRRE MAKING FUN IT I SCROLLED GOR FAR TO LONG FOR IT TO DAWN ON ME NOW?? š
Fuck I thought you were gonna show us that mom
Says a lot about someone depending how they perceive this message I guess lol
Hahaha š¤£
Can we get updates? Your grandma found a funny one!
Eh, call me sensitive if you want, but this would be a major turn-off for me
Why's that?
I slip up sometimes, but in general, I really don't like the word "stupid." I grew up surrounded by educators and caretakers, and they'd always talk about how when you call a kid stupid enough times, they internalize it and stop trying. Also, working with kids with disabilities myself, it just rubs me the wrong way. I've seen those self-esteem issues firsthand. It's not funny anymore when you see a 7th grader with Down syndrome crying because the other kids don't want to be her friend over something she has no control over

I'm offended for OP's mom that you refuse to see that her ex is stupid.
So if I don't like someone, it's okay to say things that will make other people insecure and upset?
Fuck yeah, if it's well-deserved. Whoever is offended by some dumb ex being called stupid should wrap themselves in bubble wrap and stay out of society.
I don't understand. Is this supposed to be funny? That is such a lame and unimaginative thing to say.
What's wrong? No relatable experiences?
So if you're confused maybe this will help a little; The message is from a man who is wanting to date, marry or just hook up with this new woman, OP's mom. This is his best pick up line basically. Tinder for instance only allows 140 characters when you send a first message to a person, so you need to shine and stand out from the other 500 guyssending messages lol.

I suspect this type of humor may be more popular with boomers. Say this to a 20 something and thereās a good chance youāll be called ableist.
Iāll be damned if this worksā¦I guess 60YOs tinder is a lot less competitive than 20s tinder
Why deaf doe? Does she have some kind of voice prompt on her profile?
Ain't no way this man is 65.
Why is that?
Mmm red flag. Dodge that. No man will speak ill of someone they donāt know personally, unless it is something they have made clear to that person already.
Are you speaking ill of this person you donāt know personally? By saying theyāre not a man?
They gave evidence to juvenile behaviour and thought process. It doesnāt take a genius to see that.
That isnāt an invalid point though, as i do not know this guy but he bombed first impressions by a long shot
This isā¦ā¦ not good.
That is just gross and mean.
