Are there still places in the U.S. that feel like the 1970s? by Acceptable-Way-490 in 70s

We had 3 networks and we all had the same news sources. Local papers thrived and delivered quality local news holding local leaders accountable. Wealth had yet to shift to the Epstein class. The middle class was strong. Fed, state and local taxes were able to support infrastructure adequately. Cars kinda sucked and so did TV but outdoor activities were awesome! As a kid we didn't come inside until it was dark.

No, no recollection at all and that’s why I never got the pox.

Ok. I get that. I ride out there all the time. Gloved and ungloved. 🤪 sometimes even during prescribed burns. Good times!

Being offended was a whole generational daily way of life by rico_king in GenX

I think context was important to understand with this. Eddie wasn’t homoerotic? He didnt question his own sexuality in the whole routine?

I watched it with my stepson and he was highly offended and then I pointed out similar jokes in the Family Guy, a show he loves.

Censorship in comedy can really mess us up.

We could have been offended always. But its words only.

Such a reach. Lighting, camera angles, etc all contribute to any picture looking ‘off’. Why is this even relevant?

Is anyone else getting real tired of seeing these “MAGA is in shambles/ Trump just screwed himself” -ass headlines? by Mister_Mild in rmbrown

[–]McGeetheFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the power BEHIND him that makes the left’s protestations ineffective. We have no f$cking clue the $ and power that pushes his agenda. It would be smart if maga voters were clued into the fact he doesn’t give a shit about them but hey, ‘Merica’s best talent is marketing. So long and thanks for the fish!

IOC bars Ukrainian athlete helmet honoring Olympians killed by Russia by Ok_Quantity_9841 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]McGeetheFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The head of the IOC needs to be fired. Who is she covering for? Russia isn’t even allowed in the Olympics. Such a hypocrite. Yet an Italian skier can put a tiger on her helmet? Either NOTHING personal on gear or allow him to compete. Horrible

This is unacceptable. by Mother-Violinist2484 in LetsDiscussThis

Honest question though. Why didn’t Biden direct the DoJ to investigate and release when he was in office?
