  Had this happen the other day trying to describe why we believed blatant lies about video games like the rumors about being able to aquire the Triforce in Ocarina of Time.

  Like, kid… I was there. I know what I am talking about. You didn’t have wikis or youtube or Reddit to go and ask “hey, how do I see naked Samus?” You just heard your cousin say “you can see samus naked at the end of Metroid if you beat it fast enough” and so you keep speedrunning the game never seeing her naked thinking you just need to go faster.

    There was the Justin Bailey cheat code, though.

  Does it count if it was 2020 and the person is also your age? I feel like a LOT of people have a weirdly revisionist memory of the first few months of the pandemic.

    You mean there weren’t roaming soldiers shooting people in the street and welding masks to the corpses?

  Haven’t had that yet, but having travelled a lot I find it jarring how many other countries seem to think that Thatcher was a great leader to look up to, and not a dreadful callous nightmare who sold the country out on multiple levels to create the illusion of prosperity, and even that only for the sort of people that voted for her.

  I’m sixty and haven’t had this yet. But, then, I don’t talk to anyone, either, so…

  Sometimes it’s good to hear another perspective, though.

  How you don’t even need to be old. You can just do that with current events with videos from multiple angles!

  The biggest one for me is when I see people glazing Bush, like either you’re a teenager or you weren’t paying attention.

  This hasn’t happened to me yet. I might not be old enough though I feel ancient.
