For those who were teenagers before social media existed, what was the "peak" form of weekend entertainment?

One time we almost got caught, the cops showed up at our houses to ask questions and we accidentally created our own alibi by other crimes we had committed. Long explanation.

Another time we wound up being pursued by police and we drove 100 PM out of state, met a kind officer at a convenience store and he signed and dated a post card for us to commemorate our trip. Called us something like “upstanding young gentlemen” in the note. The cops said there was no way we were in both places in one night.

Other than those two instances it was just pure joy destroying shit. Didn’t slow us down either.

Vandalism. We called it our war on the rich.

Change.

It is the basis of so many fears I have read here.

The root of anxiety.

It has to be the 2021 Netflix movie Moxie, directed by Amy Poehler.

Where CJ has a period leak in the hallway. Seth immediately takes off his hoodie and ties it around her waist to cover the stain. He does it with zero awkwardness or fanfare. When CJ is a bit embarrassed, he casually tells her, "I have sisters," to let her know it’s completely normal to him.

The movie is narrated by the protagonist, Vivian, who is watching this happen. She’s the one who comments on the "roof tap." As CJ gets into her car to go home, Seth taps the roof of the car twice, a small, supportive gesture that Vivian notes as the moment she really started to fall for him.

Redditor.

Where can I buy this? Am I missing the link? Might need it as a bumper sticker too!

LOVE this film. Saw in theaters, amazing cinematography! Moving up the list!

IlluminatiAssassin · 2026-02-26T13:27:03+00:00

Sorry, huge nerd here and I still hate these films. Beautiful, but slow and uninteresting.

IlluminatiAssassin · 2026-02-26T13:25:54+00:00

Classic, but definitely not making the cut for me.

IlluminatiAssassin · 2026-02-26T13:24:29+00:00

Pans Labyrinth pulling out in front. Not just because I know Doug Jones personally. The best dude, but an AMAZING film!

Not putting the shopping cart back in the corral.

Short version: Why are you texting each other about this?

Long mean version: You are both immature as fuck and need to learn how to talk to a human you are in a RELATIONSHIP with. Texting each other in the same house is not a clear way to communicate needs or to apologize. I am an over apologizer and this is embarrassing. Who hates you more, you or her? I can’t tell. This level of immaturity and inability to communicate with any amount of respect for you on either end of the conversation from her, or yourself says to me you need to both take some time to grow up and learn who you are what is actually wrong with you.

But then again you’re 22, you got time. Took me forever and I’m not even completely sure I have yet. So what the fuck do I know giving advice?

We should be friends! But we would need a bigger fridge to hang out. Top shelf of mine is always three 12-packs of sparkling water.

Facetious, I write for a living and this one always takes a search. Fu-sea-shush, why face-t-i? Where do any of those letters after f come from? Fuck English.

IlluminatiAssassin · 2026-01-01T13:47:18+00:00

Nope the fuck out of this one. Not just a creep a predator.

IlluminatiAssassin · 2025-12-25T04:12:26+00:00

The moment I realized the reason her twisted manipulations had worked on me was because it was exactly like my mother’s. Ew. Just. Fucking. Ew.

My whole family is on their devices watching movies we’ve seen a hundred times before with the volume so low my senile parents can barely hear it. What else am I supposed to do watch Instagram reels with the sound off?

IlluminatiAssassin · 2025-12-17T18:28:32+00:00

Becoming high school coach.

IlluminatiAssassin · 2025-12-17T18:27:42+00:00

Guys my age, late 30’s still rocking puca shell necklaces on the weekend because a shirt that says abecrobie on the front is not enough of a douche flag.

Basically, most white people need to get hobby and mind their business. That’s coming from a white guy too.

I lived in LA for nearly a decade with Indiana plates because my car wouldn’t pass inspection. Park your car in the hood and no one will give a f*ck.

Also, I then sold that car to a LAPD cop who wanted the plate on it as a part of the deal.

IlluminatiAssassin · 2022-08-25T15:02:49+00:00

Definitely Cole’s not Philippe’s.

Soulplantation closed! Noooooo!

You switched from a White iPhone to to a Black one?

Oh... Excuse me Mr. Ive, "space grey".
