whilst waiting on the roster in Scranton-Wilkes Barre to be called up to NYC.
I'm pretty sure I'm the only non-Yankee fan on this entire website who would get that reference.Kickimanjaro might. From what I recall from the Domination Map, he lives in PA.
TL;DR: What do you think about the different "generations" here on BNet and how they interact with each other?
While behavioral patterns rely more on personality and intelligence, to say experience has nothing to do with it would absolutely be false. I'm definitely not the same poster I was when I first joined up.
To attempt to use a real life example, because we all know how much users here like to relate the forums to real life with examples that almost never work, would be to think of a puppy. When the doorbell rings, the puppy starts barking, jumping around and gets all excited to see someone's coming over. They go running over and jump all over you and want you to give them attention.
Then 10 years later, that same puppy is an old dog that just sits by the window and watches people walk by. Eventually when someone comes into the house, the dog might finally get up from its slumber, walk over and give you a sniff, then head right back to his seat by the window, guarding the house.
I used to see threads and go running in, jumping around barking wanting everyone to look at me. Now I walk in, give it a sniff, and head back to my seat by the window.
I also use your front lawn as a toilet.Makes sense to me. While I'm sure I'm still in the puppy stage, it doesn't necessarily feel like I am, and I think that's how it's supposed to be. Being able to reflect on past experiences metaphorically rather than being presently conscious of your current spot in the metaphorical timeline and evolutionary path of a member.
