    I was speaking to someone at a party and for some reasons the topic of 9/11 came up and they mentioned they weren’t born when it happened so I just stopped talking to them.

      I’ve got a really personal connection to 9/11 so the memories surrounding it are really vivid for me. Was talking to a buddy the other day about it and he started laughing and I asked why. He said “You were playing with a pocket knife and I was shitting in my diapers.” It was at that moment I remembered he was born in 2000. My joints immediately were filled with sand.

    I always love that the older I get, that the younger and younger these actors that used to seem super mature look.

    “Hes just a man, no older than my friend Gary, who’s around my age now that I think about it”

        Seeing this meme has set me on a Mr Sunday Movies binge. I’d been off them for a bit since they were mostly covering things I wanted to see and didn’t want spoiled

    For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.

    Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.

    BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor’s name is Peter Allas and I couldn’t find his birthday.

    Same. In highschool when we made pedo jokes it was about people born in 2003, and now they’ve been adults for 2 years

    I almost swear I could go digging in my closet and find the comically oversized Osiris skate shoes I had in high school in 2010
