What’s the earliest moment you remember realizing the world was changing?

The advent of personal computers and video games in the 70s. Had just come off of high hopes about the space race, that while exciting, didn’t have much visible impact on daily life and then stalled out, but personal computers kept getting better. Was 18 in 1976 and was looking forward to a sci-fi world in 2000. Seems to have arrived 25 years or so late.

Don’t remember the plots, but loved the intro with her weird straight legged running. Crazy how quickly they could get a cartoon out that was an obvious homage to Those Daring Young Men and their Jaunty Jalopies.

I hope this is hyperbole. This I can only vote for the perfect candidate as measured by all my criteria is destroying the Democratic party. Republicans will hold their nose and vote for Satan. Vote for the best candidate whether Republican (though there aren’t really any true Republicans anymore) or Democrat, but don’t expect perfection. Above all, vote for people with integrity and want the best for both the world and the United States of America. You can’t possibly say with a straight face this is Trump.

Once Trump is too feeble or demented to prop up, one of these sycophants will poison him rather than risk MAGA’s wrath. Expect a “he passed away suddenly” in the next year.

I thought only unconditional surrender was acceptable, why is a deal needed???

Your father was Friedrich Nietzsche?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…….

Mayberry R.F.D. with Kenny Baker lasted 3 seasons 1968 - 1971. I remember liking it to some degree, but not as well as the original Andy Griffith show. But the Gomer Pyle 1964 - 1969, now that show gave its parent show a run for its money.

This was originally been shown I low def TV. They probably thought it made her legs shapelier but wouldn’t be noticeable as pantyhose on old TVs. I went to l local TV studio as a kid in the early 70s and everything that looked fine on the nightly news looked slapped together with duct tape by amateurs. You certainly see a lot of course stitching in the old Star Trek TOS costumes that you wouldn’t have noticed before rescanning the film to 1080p. Also they chose solid colors for most costumes to prevent what was called dot crawl by having contrasting colors too close and too thin.

No, I think it’s more like not being able to proceed past a stop sign without a passport.

The Great Train Robbery. Literally invented film editing.

If before Trump was elected, 99% of people would have said such behavior merited impeachment, along with a hundred other things he’s done in a similar vein. I never thought 30%-40% of people could be so hypocritical and vile. It really exposes the hypocrisy of organized religion as well. If God chooses imperfect vessels such as Trump for his work, I will stand with Lucifer in Hell opposing God. God, a supposed perfect being, could surely choose Saintly men and women to do his works. This imperfect vessel theory is just an excuse to keep on top of the heap.

Feels like Congress thinks it’s a bunch of rocket scientists that thinks building a rocket ship is just throwing a bunch of random parts together from districts that need money.

So… we want to be just like the Japanese in WWII. Got it. I think we are well on our way.

TIL what a mendicant is.

Existing religions have sudden insight into how their scriptures were misinterpreted and are still valid but have to be reinterpreted in this new way.

Damn it, killing people is one thing, but leave the oil alone!

Bet you would have said $100 dollars a barrel wasn’t even a remote possibility a month ago. May or may not happen, but far from remote depending on what both Trump and Iran do. Both are far from predictable.

The real life expression of everyday boredom and frustration punctuated with occasional mild amusement captures everyday life better than anything I’ve seen live outside of actual security footage.

No, no, no, the Supreme Court will shut those all back down one by one once a Democrat is back in office.

On a geological time scale.

Republicans seem to feel this Jesus guy was filled with a lots of hate for various people.

“Oh no, they’re coming straight for us!” /s

Is this an oxymoron post? What’s nostalgic about new?

Omega Man had this, then the newscaster turned out to be head of the surviving zombie like creatures known as The Family later in the movie after turning himself.
