GF wanted to see Pulp Fiction, so we did. When she took me out for my BD, I wanted to see Jurassic Park. She, a movie buff, hated Spielberg, but she honored my request anyway.

I don't think 1994 was the greatest year....

I want to hang out with people my age, and I think a born in 1994 club would be the best way to do that.

I suspect every generation thinks its prime (teens/twenties/thirties) had the best years, true or not.

The reality is that 1994 was good, but there are many things that are better now. Certainly if you're anyone other than a white straight cisgender male.

I won't pretend that everything is great; we have a terrible rich/poor gap, some factions are trying to erode those hard-earned rights for minorities, and the internet has proven to be a double-edged sword. But I'd rather take this than zip back to the "good old days."

-"The reason why everyone remembers the time from their childhood so fondly is because they were kids and didn't have the same worries they do as adults"

Something someone smart said to me once.

No, that's not that great an idea. What you really want to do is hang out with people born in 1995 or even better, 1999. You can become fast friends with 1995 people and 1999 people can be your soulmates. But don't go chasing multiple 1999 people. You can have only one soulmate. Trying to juggle multiple soulmates may not be possible for a mere mortal and may cause strife and jealousy.

I would say 1996 as far as wide scale pre internet. You had to use dialup internet which was only good for extremely basic tasks and there was no online trading, you still called a broker for quotes and phone trades. I placed that first online trade in 1998.

1997 was just a bad year so that doesnt count

1998 was better

1999 was a lot better but now the internet was taking over lots of lives as you could have DSL

It all started going downhill in 2000. Then came the smartphones and finally Iphone. I was using one in 2005 with high speed GPRS.

No more pagers, payphones, paper maps and less "in person" human interaction.

Man I remember going to the local community college which had a 1.5 Mbps T1 line to use their computer lab to download shit and copy it to 3.5" floppy disks, which was still much faster than trying to download on a 28.8 Kbps modem.

Current "soulmates" were born in the 2000-2005 time frame.

My COO and Operations Manager are both 1970 born and they are irrationally supporting 1987 born people coz apparently there's a soulmate connection there. Are you doing the same?
Well my wife was born in 72 but I wouldn't say that I supporting her, we are kinda supporting each other I guess!

I kinda assumed that everyone was like that tbh!
It's usually a sign of good health which many of us with sedentary lifestyles no longer have in this day and age. What kind of exercises are you doing? Must involve some serious walking or running.

The key to virility is zero wanking. This is why some cultures instituted circumcision for boys in ancient times - to discourage it. Thankfully I did not fall victim to the knife.

I was born in 1968 and I was 26 in 1994 and making decent money so I bought a brand new Acura Integra GSR. At the time it was a beautiful vehicle, and 170HP! I was engaged to a beautiful young lady that offered bj's on a whim and she looked like that actress that was in the first terminator movie, she had nice lips. Can't remember the actresses name, but the girl, I met her at the beach and we ended up together for 12 years. I don't recall much of the rest of that year to be honest, things start to flow together after decades.
