Growing up gen x meant we missed out on a lot of things young people today take for granted.

would not trade growing up genx for that!

What like learning how to fix our broken pieces of shit ourselves or keep using them till they busted all the way

Nah ... we didn't miss anything

you can say that about any Generation missing out on what the next Generation had

that's life

We grew up learning how to entertain ourselves, figure things out, and make do without everything being instantly available. No smartphones, no Google, no streaming.. Just riding bikes until the streetlights came on

people used to learn things and retain knowledge...

now the world is populated with idiots that use google or youtube to figure something out...
