I’m already friends with people who don’t remember a world without smartphones.

A coworker asked if I could help her cousin and their partner with something as they were moving in just a few blocks from my house. Afterwards we went out for dinner. I was showing them my new fancy foldy phone and the cousin was like "yeah, I really like Android phones over iPhones, I've always had iPhones because that's what my dad always had " and then I realised the three of them had all grown up in the age of smartphones. I had to break it to them that I was fully an adult when the first iPhone came out, and that while it was cool I never saw the need to have a phone that was also an MP3/video player. I had a minidisc player and books.

Being fair, all they're missing in comparison of the era between "post 9/11 and pre smartphone" (from my experience) was a lot of snotty teachers saying YOU WON'T ALWAYS HAVE A CALCULATOR WITH YOOOOUUUU
Eat shit Mrs. Miller, I do and have for the last decade and a half. It doesn't make me much happier but at least I don't need to remember how to do long division on paper anymore, and that does make me happy.

There are also other conditions whose symptoms score really high on autism screeners. Certain types of PTSD, for example.
Kind of like how some people who give up wheat and feel better think they're gluten intolerant, but it was actually the FODMAPs.

We all feel like we understand the passage of time until we hit middle age.

Yeah, this would probably be something Ema Skye reblogged on her Tumblr (dedicated to Gavinners hate posts).
(Please, there has to be SOME Ace Attorney fans on Lemmy, right? 🥲)

Yoooo deadass, you would love the Great Ace Attorney duology. You're the exact kind of Western AA nerd Capcom was targeting with that one lol. Highly recommend that if you ever want to get back into the series.

Nah, screw that, as I get older, there’s people who weren’t even around for 9/11.
