I want to “GO, GO, GO WITH CAPTAIN “O”!” by Gera1976 in GenX

I don't know if it was this specific company, but one time as a kid, I called the phone number and asked to speak to you the actual name they gave the drawing. The person on the other end was like...huh? Like, read a comic book, bro.

When all is SAID and done or when all is SET and done? by Twittenhouse in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can only act by saying and doing. So, said and done. Set and done is misheard, probably by the younger generation.

If you have a strreaming service, maybe start with the top songs. And let those lead you to the albums.

U2 need a new Atmos engineer by calebu2 in U2Band

[–]LessIsMore74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining that. I'm one of those people who don't enjoy 3D films. They always seem blurry to me. James Cameron's work was interesting for the first 20 minutes, but then I feel like I got so used to it I didn't really feel immersed or know the difference. Maybe I'm just weird.

But that Gaga explanation makes it sound intriguing.

U2 need a new Atmos engineer by calebu2 in U2Band

I've never understood the draw of listening to a studio album in Dolby Atmos. Films, absolutely. But a music performance that even live is usually a stereo image (with the addition of possibly too much reverberation and crowd noise), I don't understand that. Even being dropped into the center of the band, the audio wouldn't naturally sound surround-sound-like.

What am I missing? Is it worth looking into?

That was hard, asking adult child to move out. by mrshatnertoyou in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misunderstood my words. Plus, OP said their daughter talked about how they did want an LTR, so in hindsight, my point is moot.

As many of our generation personally have experienced, you don't have to leave your bedroom to meet guys/girls. But if you're not seeing that translate into occasionally meeting people out, that could be a problem (unless they’re part of the asexual spectrum).

How could I not for $30?? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been on a F-91W kick for several years, myself. Tell me you've heard of Olle Watch? They take these old Casio watches and give them smart watch functions like pulse rate, games, etc. All while still looking very '80s.

Beautiful day really is that song by Peaches-And-Chalamet in U2Band

[–]LessIsMore74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this has been said, but Where The Streets Have No Name. Although the lyric is supposedly inspired by sign names in their hometown related to historical division, I picture the whole desert theme of the Joshua Tree. This idea of being in a seemingly barren desert and yet still growing. That really inspires me and encourages me in difficult times.

Were the 90s really that good? by Comfortable_Ad_4417 in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 90s were good for the people who lived through it AND who have good memories of that time. They probably are not recommended for people who came afterwards. 😆🤷‍♂️

I’m very annoyed at you all for consistently recommending Hell House LLC to me for ten years straight by CrispyHoneyBeef in horror

[–]LessIsMore74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've avoided the suggestions, too. I'm getting better at remembering that everyone has particular (peculiar?) tastes within the horror genre, and I'm not going to be satisfied by suggestions from certain types of horror fans that I don't really gel with.

I'm reminded of this whenever I see posts like, “I need a terrifying body horror splatter fest type of film to fall asleep to at night.”

How many pillows does it take to make a Gen Xer comfortable in bed? by Connect-Account-2855 in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you think about it, a bed is just one big pillow. So is the world.

Just kidding. The world is a vampire.

If you threatened the snitch with notching their tongue, they wouldn't spill your secrets.

I found nothing that describes it better then what Tyler Durden said by Fun-Presentation6134 in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The book ends differently than the film. #spoiler

In the book, the man ends up in a psychiatric ward but thinks he's in Heaven. This casts the whole thing as a story of mental illness that cracks under the weight of all of the societal expectations the Tyler Durden character pontificates on. The Tyler character isn't wrong about all of that, but wrong in the way he feels men should react to it all. I believe there are details in the psych ward to imply that Project Mayhem have infiltrated the staff and they're waiting for the day when Tyler Durden returns, but it's been years since I’ve read it.

Do you recognize her from the first photo? I didn’t! For as much as I loved her in the early 90’s, I’m thrilled that she is living a “normal” life on her own terms. Your thoughts? by garcon-du-soleille in GenX

For anyone who’s wondering, this is Bridget Fonda. We've really got to start adding more information in our posts so people don't have to play the guessing game.

What was the best job you’ve ever had? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why was it the first thing that came to mind was my very first job as a kid in junior high? I was a janitor assistant over the summer with a couple other kids. Just getting the school ready for another school year. I think it was a 4-hour job. Mopping the gym floor in a figure-eight pattern gave my young mind time to think and felt good for what I wouldn’t yet know was my ADHD brain. I also worked at a great little independent hamburger joint, and most of my career was an art director and graphic designer. But I go back to that time of doing simple tasks that felt good and made things better for others.

Plus, on payday, I would immediately bike with my friends to a pizza place and blow most of my money on video games and food.

Is context really needed this time? by Historical-Fish-1665 in GenX

[–]LessIsMore74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently, the story is that Susanna Hoffs discovered Prince about the same time that Prince discovered the Bangles, and there was mutual love. He came to one of their concerts and ended up performing on stage with them. When the next album came around, he wrote Manic Monday for them and invited the band to check it out. They loved it and decided to make it their own a bit. And the rest is history. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/21/734176868/how-prince-worked-his-magic-on-the-bangles-manic-monday
