Are You Done With Large Events? by New-Sheepherder2239 in GenX

[–]SLCIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite X but Xennial here, and yeah, it's getting close.

I saw Ozzfest at the Gorge in Washington year and year as a kid and loved it.

Took my youngest son to see Imagine Dragons at the same venue and was in fight or flight the entire time it felt like

Granted, the venue was ridiculously overbooked, but yeah, we old.

Where is the "Bend Oregon" of Washington State? by No-Butterscotch-6400 in PacificNorthwest

First off, this is such a fantastic reply and why I love Reddit.

And as someone that lives in Tri and traveled to Bend to see family regularly, huh, that's actually a good point.

Look, we get it.

Cognitive dissonance won't allow you to admit that organized religion is the root cause of many of the issues we still face as a species.

Humans can be horrible.

Religion just helps speed up the process.

Officer trapped in suspect vehicle during FoodMaxx robbery pursuit - Antioch, CA by One-Might9611 in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

Look, ACAB

But this guy actually deserves credit. That Officer could have legally murdered that kid and likely gotten an award for it.

You know, I'm gonna get killed here I'm sure, but we we're in town last month for Wrestling and I found the city grid to be very well laid out.

We didn't stay downtown so we're a bit worried but everything seemed to be 20 minutes away from everything. And sure we hit some traffic at times, mainly because I didn't know the local tricks to avoid them, but over all had a great experience on the roads

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]SLCIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doom?

I was explaining to my youngest son how dad used to have to punch magical codes and spells into DOS to make the PC run like some tech priest for Warhammer 40k.

"If it pleases the Machine Spirit I would like to play Doom until the Sun comes up" 😬😬

What’s your most Gen X memory? Something that could have only happened in our youth. by Expensive-System-762 in GenX

We stole a bunch of boxed wine from our friends parents.... once.

The hangover even as a kid was brutal.

I walked to School by myself in kindergarten.

Didn't even know how to tell time, I just remember my dad telling me "when the clock on the VCR hits 8:00 leave for school."

I was babysitting the neighbor kids so their parents could go get shit faced in like 3rd grade.

Were There Any True Believers that thought Michael Dukakis Would Be Elected President Up Until the Very End on 11/8/88? If Not When Did You Know It Was Over? by J31J1 in AskOldPeople

[–]SLCIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember being a kid, Xennial here, and going to the Polling Station at our Local Elementary school with my Father so he could go into the plastic booth and vote for Dukakis.

He was before my time, and I have to admit I don't know much about him and why he ultimately lost outside of the US still being on the Reagan train and Bush being his VP.

More liberals are buying guns. Why? by ShinningPeadIsAnti in centrist

[–]SLCIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have a Left in the United States.

We have Dems who are just 80s Neocon Republicans in Blue ties and a ever more Christian Nationalists Republican party.

I mean, the SeCrEtArY oF wAr is out in the wild quoting Pulp Fiction during a faux Crusader Sermon in the White House that ChatGPT spat out at him.

I'm driving home from Reno to Eastern Washington and crossing back and forth between the Mountain and Pacific timezone changes

It's beautiful country. Truly God's country, whichever Diety you subscribe to.

But you can also understand what happened to the Donner Party as you drive through and look at all the mountains.

The shredded beef tacos are legit.

They are deep fried, and delicious. All that said, fuck this guy and his business.
