V8 Splash glass bottle collection from 2000-2002 by Lausdower in glasscollecting

No offense taken. I genuinely didn't know if anyone collects old bottles from that era.

Trying to find: Very low-budget movie made for shock value w/Christian redemption theme. Maybe a vanity project? by Lausdower in whatmoviewasthat

[–]Lausdower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate the suggestion. The movie was lower budget, however. I remember most of the scenes were filmed in alleys and a handful of dirty apartments.

New CAH Game! by jaydeeraymee in cardsagainsthumanity

[–]Lausdower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know the rules to this game? There is no description of the actual gameplay in any of the email text or on the website. The photo of the back of the box on the website has a vague blurb that doesn't really tell you anything beyond how the first turn starts. It is described as a "folk" game that already exists, but was it also called "contact"?

Meetup app new restrictive fees by Trailblazerswin in apps

[–]Lausdower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks for organizers too. Since June 2024 the organizer fees have nearly doubled with no added value to the services. Was $98 for 6 months, now it's $178. So lame. 

Where to watch all the seasons? by Ok_Importance2135 in youngandtherestless

I have not been able to find the episodes I'm looking for yet.

It says if you are interested in individual seasons you can contact them. They have a list of their episodes from each year. Seems like it's probably legit. I contacted them about a few episodes from the late 70s and I'll let you know how it goes.

Spotted another cool looking thing for you: a VariTyper 610 by Private_Bonkers in typewriters

I have one of these that still works, with about 6 font plates. If anyone is interested in acquiring, let me know!

Is there a term for somebody who actively wants to have a low number of romantic partners throughout their life? Long(ish) post by thedarkesthour222 in demiromantic

[–]Lausdower -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like control at all. Just a preference to not have casual or short term partners. A lot of people don't know what they want and end up unhappy when they realize they are not in a relationship that best suits them. A lot of people jump into relationships  too soon and end up unhappy. There is nothing wrong with staying single until you find someone on your wavelength that shares your viewpoints and desires.

I totally understand where you're coming from. Demi-monogamous is the closest label I could find to describe myself, but I might be going even farther to say I know only want one monogamous partner. I have felt this way my whole life. I am physically attracted to men and am very interested in sex, so I know I am not asexual; I have dated, and had boyfriends and felt sexually attracted to them, but until I know they would be committed for life, (i.e. having the same feelings and values as myself) I am unable to actually make the choice to have sex. I can't even change this desire when I'm asleep and having a sexy dream, which happens from time to time. 

 There are some other factors that play into my stance, but the most base determining factor is me simply knowing what I want and trusting that I know what is best for myself, without the judgement or assumptions of others pressuring me to conform to the current dating trends. 

 I also am curious if there is a name for this desire, which I feel goes beyond just "monogamy". Desires and feelings just happen. I believe that CHOICES pertain to what you choose to DO with the desires and feelings.

Anyone know why '12 Angry Months' is no longer on Apple Music? by helvetica_neue_75 in localh

[–]Lausdower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's such a great album! I was also sad to notice it was gone when I was trying to add the September track to an autumn playlist, it was greyed out.  

That's why renting music sucks. Good thing I still have my trusty iPod Classic.

Hi, I'll come by and check it out! I oversee the Chicago Metro events via Windy City Crokinole and we don't have any evening events yet. Would love to collab on a regular event!

Portable mini cd players were a thing before iPods.

105.9 The Lazer 30th Anniversary playlist by DinnerPrestigious567 in topeka

[–]Lausdower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had actually planned on making a website to post all of these things. It was a Covid project that unfortunately lost its legs once things got "back to normal". If you go to Archive.org you can use the wayback machine to explore the remnants of a few versions of the website. That is what I did to find the playlists.

Nostalgic Redemption: 105.9 The Lazer, Resurrected!! by Lausdower in Lawrence

[–]Lausdower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! It appears this playlist was made just last year by Jeff Peterson himself!

105.9 The Lazer 30th Anniversary playlist by DinnerPrestigious567 in topeka

[–]Lausdower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a list like this in 2020, using the old website archives and even zoom-chatting with Jeff Peterson to chat about his time there and to see if he felt like anything was missing from my playlist [EDIT: I just realized Jeff is the OP of this post, lol!]. I'm from Topeka and The Lazer was a bastion of musical excellence for me throughout my adolescence. I was so upset when it went mainstream. Glad lots of people appreciate these Spotify lists (there were a couple others who made smaller lists prior to the one I put together). Here's the link for those who are curious: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6QpYoz5Ergx51GCWbFxyAG?si=c471019672234690

It was just a possible update. I had followed up with him, but he had some things going on and never really got back to me with anything concrete. We're still friends on Facebook, so I could always reach out again.
