Date: September 6th, 2025 8:06 AM Author: david pakman ((zurich is stained)) i'd leave the house at like 9-10 am and come back in the evening. ran all around the place. i grew up in bowie, md, which is about 30 mins outside dc and a planned community. at the time, it was a perfect example of white suburbia (it is now 90% minorities).
i started skateboarding at 11 years old. i'd skate all over town and get chased off from strip malls and whatnot. |

Date: September 6th, 2025 8:24 AM Author: cowshit We formed Castes/Cliques. It’s unthinkable for them to just play with local kids. They either need to be doing Organized Sports, Extracurricular Activities which help Prep them for OCI, spending 100% of their time alone teaching themselves BASIC, living lives of petty crime, drinking Mountain Dew in order to Scummify their gut microbiome, or playing JRPGs. You must give them Rides. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770336&forum_id=2),#49240519) |

Date: September 6th, 2025 8:44 AM Author: I Listen to Porn Podcasts My state passed a law that explicitly made it LEGAL to let kids be outside, provided they were doing normal kid stuff. Everything is flipped turned upside now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770336&forum_id=2),#49240549) |

Date: September 6th, 2025 8:32 AM Author: cowshit I had a SAHM for a good stretch of it but she’d be like “ask your father” or “ask the other kid’s mom.” Lmao. I think if I were good at little league he’d have arranged his life around that and commanded my mother to give me Rides when necessary. Love is conditional imo. I should’ve just taught myself BASIC somehow like You. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770336&forum_id=2),#49240533) |

Date: September 6th, 2025 8:38 AM Author: Oh, you travel? ( ) I hardly ever needed rides because there were sidewalks and bikes and we all rendezvoused downtown or at some Scumbag parent’s house that didn’t care if we smoked and drank. Rides were reserved for special occasions like concerts or the Mall. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770336&forum_id=2),#49240538) |

Date: September 6th, 2025 8:30 AM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" Spent a good amount of time outdoors, mostly with family and/or family friends. My K-8 school, despite being an under-funded public school, had a fun summer program that I did for several years. I lived a block away from school, which helped. Lots of trips within driving distance with family and/or family friends. I had a growth spurt the summer before 8th grade and reached my adult height of 6' 2", which automatically made me a "cool" kid who played sports and was invited to parties with other "cool" kids.
The summer before high school, we moved so that my brother and I wouldn't go to the local high school, which was a very terrible public school. We moved to the tiny "poor" part of an otherwise UMC suburb. I didn't fit in because nearly everyone around me came from money and lived in a bubble, whereas I had no money and lived through poverty first-hand. The "cool" kids in a UMC suburb are unbelievably lame. Still had friends, but I spent more time in front of screens during my high school years. |

Date: September 6th, 2025 9:15 AM Author: Fucking Fuckface I'm a very early millennial, so had more of a gen x experience than millennial. I thank God for that
Would wake up and watch cartoons if there were any. By late morning I'd be out with friends riding bikes, playing football, or just walking around town to find shit to do
We'd play Nintendo or Genesis if something new had come out. Sometimes go to the local pool to swim and play shit like marco polo and tag and shit
Never any helmets. Never any adult chaperones. Just fucking freedom and boredom and fulfillment all rolled up in one |
