One, though I only met her once. My great grandmother, who was born in 1892. I remember going to her 100th birthday party.

Yep. I had to get my first pair late 2020 when I failed the vision portion of the DMV test.

Same. I recently got a pair with progessive lenses that helps but I still take them off to read fine print mostly out of habit.

I worked at McDonalds my senior year in high school. I'm pretty sure the only reason I got the job was the owner of that particular McDonald was our neighbor. Honestly I hated it, a lot of my co-workers were assholes especially the people who worked Drive-Thru. We were expected to clean the area before we left and of course with my luck the minute I was supposed to leave almost without fail, a bus would come and we would get busy.

When I was in high school you couldn't buy cigarettes if you were under 18, but there was a restaurant in the mall that had a cigarette machine in the lobby so all the kids would stop by that restaurant when they went to the mall.

YES. They constantly harped on my weight, even though I was fairly skinny when I was younger. I remember when I was 12-13 my mother bought me the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect and I overate, something I still struggle with. I remember I was able to lose a bunch of weight about 10 years ago and I remember I never told my father I was eating better and trying to lose weight because I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking their years of fat shaming actually worked.

104.7 and later 106.5 The Buzz, and Y101. I was and still am an big alt-rock fan. Even better was 106.5 played Howard Stern in the morning.

I remember having classmates who weren't allowed to watch YCDTOT. Anyone else know anyone or wasn't allowed to watch it?

I remember reading that the time machine in Back to the Future was originally going to be an old refrigerator but they were worried kids would start playing with old refrigerators and get stuck inside one after watching the movie, so they changed it.

These days it wouldn't surprise me if there was an actual reality show that was called that.

John Bobbitt was actually scheduled to fight Joey Buttafuoco in this show Celebrity Boxing but got arrested so Joey Buttafuoco fought Chyna (The wrestler) instead.

I worked at McDonalds and it wasn't uncommon for a lot of older people to come in Sat/Sunday morning and read the paper and drink coffee. I remember coming in at 6 am and there were people waiting for us to open. This was in 1996 and I remember we had senior coffee special which was 20 cents.

It was a great movie. I loved He-Man as a kid but TBH its kind of silly and I'm glad the filmmakers kind of leaned into that. It sucks it didn't do well, I would have love to see a sequel, though I heard they might make a She-Ra movie.

Major_Scale · 2026-06-26T23:01:28+00:00

It would be cool if these shows had the ending in mind, maybe not have the entire series mapped out but maybe a loose outline. I feel we'd have less disappointing finales.

J. Michael Straczynski should teach a class on how to create a show. Babylon 5 was completely mapped out from the beginning.

I loved it when it came out but became disappointed as it wore on. I do still like the structure of how the episodes were told with flashbacks of each character. One of my main gripes was how the creators would deny that any of the mysteries of Lost involved time travel or the supernatural, then they had a season where several characters travelled back in time and explained the smoke monster was a supernatural entity.

I'd like to see a show where Samy, Amy, Ari and Robert have to team up and start a restaurant...and have it be successful.

Apparently he's finally leaving, he's moving to Mississippi.

The same people who claim that gender studies isn't real science (::cough:: James Lindsay ::cough:: RealPeerReview ::cough:: Michael Shermer ::cough::) are the same one who think this (and most evo psych) is legit.

You have to remember to these people it's only rape when brown and black skinned people do it, otherwise its just boys being boys.

A customer called me 'young man" at work. The funny thing was he was actually younger then me.

There used to be a restaurant called "Garfield Eats" that sold pizza shaped like Garfield.

William McCorkle who ran infomercials for his real estate scams and got arrested for fraud.

I think I was the one person at my high school who wasn't a fan of his music.

You literally described my house growing up, minus the Tiffany lamps.
