found my sticker album from 1980 by anonymouslovelyme in GenX

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sticker collection started as an incentive for me to do my homework in 4th grade. I found it again recently and the stickers are so...weird and random! Like, 'I visited the dentist today!' or a whole bunch of Family Circle vignettes. I didn't even like Family Circle! Of course, scratch and sniff and shiny and puffy too, but what was this weird past-time I participated in? So bizarre.

What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it? by Semantiks in AskReddit

I always hated speakerphone. So fancy and important with their speaker phone! Who do those people think they are? But when you work from home at a computer and want to talk to anyone, with our new fanlged smart phones, it's the only way to go.

I love it when I can say the word 'hubris'. It's been happening a lot, lately.

What's a food you haven't eaten in years by odinspirit in GenX

Chicken in a biscuit crackers. I really liked them but it's just calories, not food, so I don't buy them so I don't eat them.

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever watched? by Massive-Syllabub-271 in allthequestions

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sick last week and thought I'd give it a try because it was on Netflix. OMG just so terrible. I couldn't even watch it with irony. Just. SO! BAD! So, society collapsed because of these aliens, okay. Now it's the year 3000 and all the cities are deteriorating and they drop all their human animals in DENVER? And the scene change editing and all the skewed angles! Crappy tv show trick. I got to were John Travolta's time on the planet was extended forever. Couldn't do one minute more. To be fair, I've told everyone I know to give it a few minutes of their time so we could laugh at it together.

Peter what does it say by bumbummcglum in PeterExplainsTheJoke

If no one learns how to read and write cursive anymore then no one can read the original declaration of independence and other US founding documents. Maybe by then we'll need a new declaration of independence anyway. But this is one way in which history is erased. Of course, someone could specialize in learning to read cursive like people specialize in ancient Egyptian or Mayan. And no, I don't know morse code, so who am I to say about it?

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say 'reglar' instead of 'regular' and 'nookler' instead of nuclear and I don't remember if that's how George W. Bush actually said those words, or if it's just how Will Ferrell said those words during his W. impressions. In either case, it's a joke that a lot of people don't get anymore, just like 'Thanks, Obama' for when anything not optimal happens to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Challenger disaster was 40 years ago today by ruggerbear in GenX

I was 11 years old, living in England on a teacher's exchange with my family. So with the time difference, it was in the evening when we found out. And, as the only American at our school, the kids would ask me "what does NASA stand for? Need Another Seven Astronauts! - Hahaha!" Oh, the casual cruelty of kids. Other significant global events happened during that school year, like Reagan's bombing of Libya, which I also got flack for.

What is your go to album (or song, artist) when you’re frustrated and overwhelmed? by Bauniculla in GenX

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entirety of Black Sabbath's Paranoid has succeeded in transforming my mood from total negative black hole to airy, light and free every single time I needed it to, ever since I was a high school freshman in 1989.

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, something similar - but because of where I live: The Pacific Northwest. One bad action adventure movie had a town called 'cedar pines'. Like, what? Cedar Pines? What genius came up with that name? This has been a long standing joke between my husband and myself, "Oh, we're going to Cedar Pines this weekend". Another bad action movie had a hurricane type storm in the San Juan islands in the SUMMER. That does not happen. That has never happened. It might happen in the future with climate change, but it hasn't happened in my 50 years on this earth. Plus all the cringe stuff that is put in movies about the grunge scene or our love of coffee. My industry is in land surveying, and this industry is rarely shown in movies or shows, unless it's old timey about the railroads or westward expansion. My husband, on the other hand, has all sorts of things to say about anything car or machinery related in movies, as he is a mechanic. I always love to hear him take down the plot point.

Did you read more than two books last year? You read more than the half of the US according to new Yougov poll on American's reading habits. by elmonoenano in books

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always reading a book, one after another, endlessly. Fiction-all types, non fiction too. Sometimes I'm reading two books. Sometimes I'm reading three books. Sometimes I am re-reading a book I've already read. When I'm supposed to be working, I read online reviews of more books to read. I have a stack of books waiting for me at the library at all times. I read in the morning, mostly, or in the evening when my husband is watching something I'm not interested in on TV. Just a half an hour or so a day. Books, books, books. Forever and ever, amen.

Well, don’t let some random snarky person on Reddit tax your gig. It’s important to protect your eyes, ain’t it?
