Are you obsolete?

[Rightguide]

Those of us at Denny's ain't exactly ain't shy, ain't afraid to spell it wrong.

Pardon me, I'm just a stranger in town.

That's a bit harsh for the Geriatric Board

Fixed that for ya.

I laughed.

 

[juttjaw]

What happens when people roll their eyes because they are obsolete and I am bringing the shit to the table?? I get ridiculed and ostrisiced for my opinion...

I'm pretty much Jesus in my family. They will soon see the light.

 

[Dinosaur1]

Are your opinions decades out of date? Do younger relatives sigh whenever you start speaking? Do you resent people who speak of progress and change? Do paleontologists show you flattering amounts of attention?

Just asking.

Yes. All of that. Though progress and change is something I'm always open to, I've learned "what's old is new again' more often than not. I struggle not to be numb to different "new" ideas and practices to things I feel are futile and repetitive in areas where such things have failed in society or I myself have failed and to remain optimistic.

Often, when I feel my past experience is valid in matters of opinion on some matters, I feel obsolete and ignored, so I simply withdraw and be quiet and move on.

I'm new here, so "Hi".

I saw Seger in, what, 1975?

I used to see him hanging out in a strip club every once in a while. Sat at the end of the bar, off in the corner so people wouldn't bother him.

 

[trysail]

Nope.

Nor am I indispensable.

I was actually thinking there is so much obsolescence in this thread it's almost ironic.

 

[Hypoxia]

Obsolete is as obsolete does.

Or some shit like that.

Many of my long-ago-gained technical skills have long been obsolete. I feel like a medieval mage seeking work at a biotech firm: "Hast thou need of an alchemyste, sire?" My fretboard fingering has slowed; I won't be invited to any shred-metal fests. My body is quite obsolete for many of its intended purposes. And I don't tweet, do FB or TV or any such distracting shit, nor live in a community served by Android drones.

I am learning the wisdom of a great person who only read newspapers a decade old, so they would have perspective on what was important. I'm not obsolete; the world is premature.

Fucking geriatrics
You can get keyboard with OVERSIZED KEYS and glasses
Of all the generationally challenged people, you make me laugh the most

Me fingers did'na slip although me eyes were glazed. I blame me geriatric laptop, which forced a double-post. And me eye surgeries. They hurt.

'Tis a hard-won skill, attained after much practice writing songs, computer warez, propaganda, and user manuals. Sometimes combined.

Then there was the constipated mathematician who worked it out with a pencil...

 

[stickygirl]

Still fighting, still inquistive. Respect

 

[Not Normal]

I have no idea. Probably a little.

 

[Antryg_Windrose]

I am obsolete but still functional after a fashion. Forks are obsolete but we still use them. I am forked and you probably are too, whether you have devolved or not.

I'm tempted to use a fork, but I use a spoon to get every drop.

He was the opening act for BTO at the time.

I've always been a specialty model. I'l have my niche for a long time to cum.

 

[Antryg_Windrose]

Obsolete.

Ob: Siberian river
So: fifth musical note
Leet: elite hacker

Consider.

But please, no conspiracy theories about Putin, Beyoncé, and MiloX. Oh no!

You like model cars too? And Star Trek spaceships?

Welllllll. Nevermind. I'll zip it this once. *closes imaginary zipper on lips*

 

[BoyNextDoor]

I prefer "timeless"

 

[Matt12191982]

I don't know whats out-of-date because I like what I like without permission. I think great ideas and great creations have no expiration date.

 

[Kantarii]

My spectrum of music ranges from Waylon Jennings to Obituary. I fit in somewhere in the middle with a traditional, black leather clad slut look.

Laughs...
This went over so many heads. How far the mighty have fallen.
