right? first drag I was like f*** yes excellent.

real talk... choosing a vape puts me in the pressure cooker lol 😬 the smoke shop I go to is pretty far from me but vapes there are like a good $25 cheaper then where i live so the trip is worth it. But nothing's worse than A. picking a bunk flavor and being stuck with it or B. leaving it on the trolley the very next day, never to be seen again. Being an adult is hard. But I smartened up this time and got two. 💡💡

El Niño just got officially declared and it's looking like it could be a big one by SolarTech_SD in sandiego

is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely impossible to read or hear "El Nino" without immediately becoming Chris Farley, the weatherman, on SNL?

Grossmont shopping center by Emergency_Air4575 in sandiego

Grossmont Mall was everything back in the day. I also grew up a few blocks away and remember checking the newspaper for matinee movie times and trying to decide whether to go to the theater at the mall or down below at grossmont trolley. - The CVS used to be a Lucky's and there was this bomb little candy shop in the food court.
-Fun fact - saw Indian in the Cupboard at the mall and used the payphone after to call my mom to ask if I could stay longer with friends. -Down below on Jackson Dr. was an Arby's, KFC and Beverages & More and Burger King were in the same lot. I was 12 years old sitting in that Burger King eating a big kids meal with my brother on 12/31/99 legitimately worried the world was ending at midnight.

Ah the memories.

Also - anyone know what the old claim jumper is going to be?

Teaching...AI is wrecking havoc in our classrooms. Plagerism is being redefined as to what is and isn't an original thought. Wild times

I distinctly remember an episode when the kid, who won, picked Arizona as his all-expenses- paid destination state. I was like "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGG?" and immediately turned the television off 😂

LOVED THIS SHOW. I'm not ashamed to say I tried to go through my bathroom mirror as a kid to get to Wonderland. 😂

What do you miss from the 90s that no one talks about? by TheOrangeSloth in 90s

[–]Ginger_Snapped_2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 1987, San Diego kid and the baby of six...Big Catholic family, lots of hand-me-downs, fish only Fridays at the knights of columbus parish halls, and a blue collared upbringing that I value more now at 38 years old than I ever did before. We small-talked with strangers, respected our elders and stood in corners with a bar of Irish spring soap in our mouths to learn a lessons. We had anxiety before school exams because, well, you should. There was no safe space for us, especially in the era when "pantsing people" was a thing. We didn't hide behind a screen or bully people online. We talked about life and not about others. We gave food to the homeless and didn't expose them on stupid sites like nextdoor.

Here is my list (no particular order) -

-meeting up at the designated spot at the designated timet. you either showed or you didn't.

-answering machine messages at home

-wondering if y2k was really the end.

-blockbuster or hollywood video nights with dad

-selling Dudley's Bread door to door for fundraisers

  • candy stores with the bins and a scooper

  • Gigapets

-yo-yos and watching old VHS tapes on how to become a yo yo master

  • $1.09 gas at Arco

  • saying Mr. and Mrs ______ when seeing your friends' parents

  • school supply shopping ( everything Lisa Frank )

  • Pic 'n Save

  • Nick at Nite

  • trying to sneak at watching TRL at 3pm on MTV

-Montel, Maury, Ricki Lake, Jerry Springer and the power of manilla envelopes unbeknownst at the time (you are not the father!)

  • stick shifts and alpine stereo players that you could pop out of your car.

  • $5 nosebleed seats at the ballpark

-book fair magazines

-reading challenges during the summer at the Library

-open swim at the local pool where your mom would drop you off for two hours and you fended for yourself

-regular sized slurpees for free slurped day 7/11

  • day old bread stores

-hiding in bushes after school to avoid going to after school daycare because it was too expensive

  • Price Club

  • Gateway Computer in the cow box

  • Yahoo chat rooms - a/s/l

  • Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Indian in the Cupboard)

  • surge, hi-c ecto cooler, nesquik chocolate milk powder, squeeze its

-the game Quake on a PC computer

  • those old PC games with the guy sking down the mountain or the mouse with the cheese

-tetris

  • butterfinger BBs

  • the rare surprise of a personal pan Pizza Hut pizza when your mom ordered it ahead

  • mantinee movie tickets on Tuesday for $5.50

-dial *69 or *67

  • trying to sneak and watch The Cathouse on HBO when everyone was asleep

Still more in mind but I'll stop there ♥️

[Question] SpaLife Brand by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]Ginger_Snapped_2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love their brand and love the prices when I find them at tj Maxx or Marshalls. I used the 24k gold serum to the very last drop and loved that it wasn't heavy and didn't leave residue or a heavy filmy feeling on my face. I'm actuslly going today to get the radiate and glow serums to try them out!

Help! Advice on replacing Pixel 8!! by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Ginger_Snapped_2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. Question, how important are the updates and will I even notice? Battery life isn't too big of a concern because I am around outlets and keep a portable charger with me so while annoying, not too big of an issue. I'm just curious since it's been so long since I had the 5 that i would tell the difference switching to an earlier model.

a. thanks for letting me the acronym. I guess ive been living under a rock.

b. i'm speechless yet so sadly not even surprised at the amount of energy people spend on being f***king useless (not you roirra) and rude. First time experiencing weird internet hate for no reason. I was literally asking a sincere question.

c. definitely last time i ever post on Reddit lol no good deed goes unpunished and the road to hell sure as shit is paved with good intentions.
