Here’s to Generation X! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷‍♂️ #Truth

Good to know someone is stepping into the gap Bill Burr left when he completely sold his soul for his liberal wife.

Not one exaggeration or falsehood. We really did raise ourselves.

I was "ride bike around the neighborhood and come home whenever age" when John Wayne Gacy was arrested. Neighborhood kids were all......WTF????😵‍💫 Our parents still didn't care.🤣

🤣

My friends and I used to ride our bikes 6+ miles away from home. That was our radius and our parents didn’t know. We just had to be home when the street lights came on. Good times!

Lol. The flashback is vivid 8 am Summertime Mom at the kitchen table, on the phone - cord stretched out - coffee - Kool cigarettes. There was no need to be told. Get out of the house. Baloney sandwich on the porch at noon. No need to come in.

Forced outside until the streetlights came on!

Getting locked out all summer was the best!!!! Hahahahaa

So....FWIW, my mother was a child protective services worker for Suffolk county. She dealt with the worst sh*t you could imagine. It was not safer back then, just less 'known'.

This is, in fact, why the birth rate has plummeted.

It was 1980, 11th grade. We got out of class at 2:27 and went to Larry's house because his sister dated a pot dealer and he'd be there doing bong hit with us. We all knew we had parents only because someone paid the cable bill so we could watch the new cable channel MTV.

Those were the golden days, building massive three story clubhouses out in the woods, rigging up epic forts, and filling buckets with wild apples for all out wars. We’d hurl them at each other like artillery in the greatest battle of the neighborhood. One time a kid took a direct hit to the head, got knocked clean out… then woke up a minute later, shook it off, and jumped right back in throwing apples like nothing had happened.

Parents and kids doing this today will get the cops called on them, as we have had several times, that is the main reason.

I grew up in a rough neighborhood. I knew about gangs, drugs and sex before I was 7. And I still walked blocks to the Thiftys with my friends. Insane.

I'll say it again for those in the back... Parenting wasn't a verb in the 70's and 80's.

I resemble these comments!!! The '80's Rock!

Shit, we played tackle football in the street and when you saw a car coming, you would yell car car and then we’d resume the game on the concrete tackle. We didn’t give a shit it was fun. Yeah I have many scars inside and outside, but I love it I live life. We we’re so free.

That’s how it was I’m generation X yeah we lived and played outside face-to-face Contact and sometimes we said the wrong shit and we paid for it but we learned we evolved we became independent. I still am. I got the American dream with the ninth grade Education.

That was funny. Generation X (which i am) no matter what race you are especially if you grew up out here in NYC in the 80s you can definitely relate lol All i remember was all the parks with broken glass on the ground. dirty syringes and US in dread if we fell from playin Tag lol

Des Bishop is funny AF

It's true, although my mom really didn't have to tell me to go outside, and she didn't talk to me like that, I always knew she loved by her actions, but she didn't worry that I was running around all over the place until dark. I grew up poor in Hawaii. Yes, there are many poor folks in Hawaii. Dangers were there for sure. I had 2 different men at 2 different times, asking for directions, trying to get me in their car, showing me their junk when I wouldn't, and I still roller skated all day in the empty school and around my blocks when other kids weren't out. It was not safe but gosh I think it was still safer back then than now.

“There’s peanuts out there!!”😂🤣

@InThis2getherWW 😂

My dads go to was “go play in traffic”

This made me laugh because it captures that exact middle spot we ended up in—old enough to remember how things used to work, young enough to still adapt. Keeps things in perspective.

So fkn true I was never home

The shit we did, insanely dangerous stuff looking back. I remember our fiend Steve jumping into a swollen creek after a storm, dragged him miles away to the water treatment plant near a lake. He walked back.

Bill Burr! W white hair!!!

@fierybutmostly1 I’m still waiting for the talk … and my mother’s been gone 10 years

In fact, it was more dangerous being generation X the evil was always there. I guess since we were always hanging out in a group no one fucked with us except for the neighbor yelling at us cause we’re using their hose to drink water.

🤣🤣

Hi @grok! Who is this comedian please?

Go away and come back when the street light is on. Lol If I wanted to go anywhere “ride your bike.” What is this guys name? He’s good.
