Topic: I just realised I've 'known' Matt (and therefore many of you) for 12 years.
Anonymous A started this discussion 2 years ago #115,398
I know this because way back then my very first meme-forcing attempt on the chans was "38, almost 40" with regard to Matt (it caught on I'm happy to say, and over the years got updated by other users).
And now here we are 12 years later, I'm reading that Norilsk thread about how he's a Russian vampire or some shit, and it suddenly struck me: this dude's gonna be fifty years old next month.
Fifty. Years. Old.

The 38 almost 40 thing is older than that. I remember it used to be 37 at least. I could believe you popularized it, but I suspect its exact origins are more nebulous and based on a pattern that had been forming even further back.

No, it started with 38 going on 40. You're just misremembering it or it's the Mandela Effect.

Nah pal, trust me I remember it vividly, I started it with "38, almost 40".

A lot of the older posts were lost and I'd bet the original uses didn't survive anyway. I remember a lot of the insults weren't in an exact form back then, so "X going on Y" fits generally what I remember too. But I could accept that OP may've pushed the "X almost Y" form the hardest and had it stick; I just remember it coming from a primordial sea of insults very similar to that.

Anyway, I fail to see the connection between whomever you are imagining and you/OP obessessing over random strangers turning random ages. It's really not that unusual you know. It happens to a large number of people every day.

Replying to threads on a message board is normal activity. 4 or 5 replies spaced hours apart is hardly obsessive. And I don't seem defensive at all. I think you are projecting.

Seems like it personally bothers you that people would have a laugh at someone becoming an advanced age. Were you also bothered when there was one particular user here that constantly made fun of another user for being 80?

How am I supposed to read your mind? I have no idea who it is you are obsessing over and projecting that obsession onto me.

No it doesn't. It definitely bothers you though. You can't stop throwing a tantrum about it in every thread.
> Were you also bothered when there was one particular user here that constantly made fun of another user for being 80?
The word "also" implies that I was bothered about anybody turning a certain age. Again, you are the one who is obsessively bothered about this to the extent that you are now in a passionate rage about it. Maybe take a walk to cool off before you burst a blood vessel.
