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.

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) |

It really is crazy that your lack of desire to help yourself persisted for thirty years and will until you die. |

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 |

Date: September 6th, 2025 12:03 PM Author: OldHLSDude My parents both worked in a factory, so they were gone from 6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. 5 days/week. Until I was 10 I had a babysitter, but afterward I was on my own, though the babysitter didn't sit on me too hard. I pretty much did what I wanted with no supervision.
Parents were not involved in what the kids did. They didn't go to games, didn't drive us places, and generally ignored us unless we were causing problems. When I started playing little league there were no parents ever at practice and only a few at the games. Basically kids and adults lived in parallel worlds.
I rode my bike all over town. We had an endless workup baseball game running on a nearby vacant lot. You walked on in the outfield and as each batter was out advanced a position until you got to hit. Sometimes there would be 20 kids on the field so it might take an hour to get to bat. Oh, the heartbreak of fouling out on the first pitch!
At night we sometimes played kick the can in the dark at my friend's house a few blocks away.
When TV wrestling became a thing in about 1957 we started wrestling. We would do it at somebody's house where the parents weren't home.
After the sitter stopped coming I had to do chores every day: wash the dishes, make the bed, and dust the house. Took maybe an hour and I hated it. If I didn't enough grease off the cast iron skillets my mother would yell at me.
Often I would go to the corner grocery store for breakfast: a dime bought a Coke and a Zero candy bar. My Aunt owned another grocery store. Sometimes I would go there and hang out. My mother and she didn't get along, so I had to sneak. That's where I met my first lesbian. Her dad had no fingers and drove a cab. His nickname was "Nub." She moved to West Hollywood. Think she's det now.
Saturdays were movie day: ten cents admission for a double feature western/horror movie, then 15 cents for a Coke and popcorn. The movie was so full of screaming kids nobody could hear the dialog. Starting in sixth grade I would sit with various girls and try to kiss and cop a feel. Never got very far - they were not very cooperative. I still talk with four of them from time to time. One has Parkinson's, one looks very old and sick, one has dementia, and the fourth is still remarkably hot, age adjusted.
There were kids everywhere. On my block alone, which consisted of 12 houses, there were 7 of us all about the same age, plus older and younger ones. All are det now except for two of us. One was shot and killed by the police, one was blown up in Vietnam, one was killed in a car crash, and two suffered fatal heart attacks.
The red headed girl across the street used to come over. She wore incredibly tight jeans with a good camel toe, had perky little budding tits and noticeable BO (deodorants were not a thing yet) which somehow was sexy. I wanted to fuck her so badly. I think about her even today and wonder what happened to her. I always had to whack off after she left. That must have been at about age 12.
Sometimes several guys would get together to jack off and see who could come first. We never got any gayer than that.
I also spent a lot of time reading, learning chemistry and making corrosive, flammable and explosive concoctions. I also got into electronics and ham radio and built and used radio communications gear. I had a 90 volt battery that I used mainly for its electric shock value. I actually talked one guy into licking it. Sometimes I would go to the library to read because it was air conditioned (and had books, which were in short supply at our house).
At age 14 I started a part time job, so that cut into my play time somewhat.
At age 15 it all ended when I started going to college in the summers, though I had adventures there, too. The first summer at college I discovered "heavy petting" with an older girl who thought I was college age. She almost put me in the position of having to drive a car without a license. Still have fond memories of her. She was a tall Nordic sort with big tits. Wide hips, too. Sigh. By the time I was 16 I had a regular girlfriend and was getting laid regularly. It was deluxe. Fond memories.
