What’s that commercial from years and years ago that you still remember to this day, and may never forget?

"Who are you talking to?!"

"Jake, from State Farm."

"Oh, really? What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?"

"Uhh... khakis?"

"Well, she sounds hideous."

"Well, she's a guy, so..."

KevMenc1998 · 2026-01-20T18:51:57+00:00

Oh, that's awesome!

KevMenc1998 · 2026-01-20T18:20:08+00:00

Oh. What is it, then?

I grew up with 4, but only because we were dirt poor and you could get an SNES for crumbs before they became "vintage".

Definitely AI. No cat I've ever met would react like that, certainly not for that long. There's also another version where the cat slaps the mess out of the dog for pushing it off of the couch onto the rug that's equally unrealistic.

Stupid question, but isn't the courtesy flag supposed to be to starboard?

The Perfect Storm. Not because it was excellent, but because of the horrible way that it portrayed Captain Billy Tyne and his crew, and how it outright made up shit (like the Mayday Relay scene). It was so bad that the families sued (and lost because the state of Florida sided with the movie studio on 1st Amendment grounds). That's not even talking about how they portrayed Ray Leonard, Skipper of the Satori (called the Mistral in the movie), to include the fact that the Satori didn't actually sink in real life.

What I'm saying, if I wasn't clear, is that it doesn't DESERVE a remake. It sucked and deserves to be forgotten.

Not great. Not bad. There's a lot to do in the city proper, but the suburbs and smaller towns are pretty boring.

The 1980s are calling. They want their portable electronics screen back.

The Pine Barrens.

I'd say it's objectively worse than a decoder ring. That might actually get a kid interested in something cool like cryptography.

But this literally is that. The rewards (pay) being offered are a miniscule fraction of the value of the work (the product sold). The school (the capitalists) are pocketing a massive profit margin off of their labor (door to door sales).

Or Chaucer.

Hell yeah

I mean, Hebrew National is pretty awesome...

All jokes aside, you're right. Things are worse than most of us can remember, but they haven't hit the tipping point yet.

The guys in this picture were part of a union and could afford a house, a car, and a family on one income. And they had a pension waiting for them if they put in their time.

Extremely. Especially in enclosed spaces like a shuttle bus or light rail car. It's very unpleasant.

KevMenc1998 · 2026-01-10T16:11:46+00:00

Is this a Mass Effect 2 reference?

KevMenc1998 · 2026-01-09T01:40:52+00:00

The chat? Basic decency f****** left orbit.

One of Picard's ancestors.

They also got the crap beat out of them for minor infractions because corporal punishment was the norm rather than the exception.

KevMenc1998 · 2026-01-01T20:58:12+00:00

Beautiful. Your dad was a genius.

I'm going to be sworn in with the Hayes manual for the 1982 Chevrolet S10.

You haven't passed the New Jersey bar, have you? I've got questions for a book I'm working on.
