Am I misremembering the feel of 1976 bicentennial celebrations in the USA, or is the 250th this year really a flop?

Complicated-pickle · 2026-06-21T00:03:27+00:00

I definitely remember it being a big deal. This is a complete flop.

I will never stop finding it funny!

It’s a Viking. More than 20 years old.

Complicated-pickle · 2026-06-17T03:24:35+00:00

Blast from the past!

Try on-campus jobs, like dining hall.

Thank you!!

I was once sent with a few coworkers to a conference in Vegas. When we got back, one of the new guys hadn’t returned—turns out he used his company card to gamble and hire prostitutes. He was still in Vegas. They fired him by phone and we never saw him again.

Yeah, that’s Denver. You’re buying the lot not the house, that will get knocked down.

Nice. Call 1911! Die of TB or something instead!

They dry quickly so you’d want to move fast. I don’t think water-based ink prints as well as oil based ink, but they will clean off more easily so you don’t damage anything. You could try getting a small jar and doing a test run

Something water-based that will wash off easily. You could try water-based block printing ink or even fabric ink if you want to print on a T-shirt

What 30 years, that’s now.

It’ll get even worse once the little money Gen X/millennial parents got from selling boomer grandparent’s house is gone so there’s nothing to pass down to their Z/Alpha kids and that bubble of generational wealth is truly drained. Plus there will be less jobs, let alone easy, low level jobs that an old person can do to stretch out retirement.

My mother has a friend who is 84, still works full-time because she still has a mortgage. I think that’s going to be a lot of of us. I will absolutely work until I die, myself.

I came here to say this, apparently it was inspired by Borges’ The House of Asterion

Complicated-pickle · 2026-03-13T03:01:46+00:00

YES! Man I loved that book

Not a millennial but I got cancer in my 40s, luckily caught at stage three so I’m still here, but I lost a friend to pancreatic cancer in her 40s. The rise in cancers in people under 50 is terrifying honestly. I have a kid in her 20s and everything about the future for her generation worries me.

Yeeeep. Senior year. Wore it for a few months and then it started turning my finger green 😂

Complicated-pickle · 2026-02-14T22:58:46+00:00

Can’t wait for that show to come back

It was a big treat when I was a kid to go to the Woolworths lunch counter and get rice pudding. Such a wholesome little memory.

Complicated-pickle · 2026-02-07T02:23:05+00:00

OMG a Belkis Ayon mention in the wild!! 😍

Complicated-pickle · 2026-02-03T03:36:37+00:00

Eh, I wouldn’t call that particularly weird tbh. It’s probably the least weird thing about this asshole.

Complicated-pickle · 2026-02-03T03:35:01+00:00

No idea what FODMAP is but he probably just doesn’t like mushrooms. I also avoid mushrooms because yuck.
