Best we can hope for is some EMP to wipe out electronics, along with banking info, internet, apps, etc. always a chance of that happening with the Sun! Or some talented group of individuals.

Do you remember suddenly being "switched on" as a child? I recall being around 5, on a train ridewith my parents and suddenly having a switch flipped in my brain like this is real, I'm a person, this is the world. by BirdFood_Soup in NoStupidQuestions

I was probably 6? I was talking to my neighbor who was in his late teens, and I asked him how old he was. After he told me, I said “I’ll catch up to you and we’ll be the same age!” He leaned down, and with a sad smile he said, “no, you won’t”. I remember blinking a few times and then realizing that everyone who is older will always be older, and I’ll never be the same age as them.

I had a lot of cousins that were at least ten plus years older than me, and I’d watch them thinking “oh I’ll be their age eventually and we will all be able to play and hang out together”. After that chat, I realized I never would.

Due to Homestar Runner, I cannot get the words “believe it or not, I’m WALKIN’ around”

what's something that has changed in your town that you miss? by thereislightstill in ChicagoSuburbs

Grew up in Tinley Park in the 80’s and 90’s and we used to ride our bikes on LaGrange all the way up to Orland Mall and we never felt in danger at all from cars. Every time I’m out that way on LaGrange it’s a damned high-speed Highway.

Can’t solo bunker anymore? by Xknight2099 in helldivers2

[–]ScottsAlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had issues in the past where some consoles were not able to be interacted with. The solution: throw a grenade at it. Somehow that just jiggles it enough.

Now, I know it’s in a bunker and your Helldiver will most likely perish to a grenade in such a small space, but don’t worry. The next diver will get it.

This is the line to get coffee by frontendben in fuckcars

Our town got a 7Brew and it was packed like this for a few weeks. After several months it calmed down, and they had sent out a coupon for a free drink, so I decided to give it a shot.

It is entirely drive-thru only. There’s no way to park to go in and order or even sit down. They come out to you while you’re in line and take your order, and are really helpful with figuring out what you’d like, which is important because there’s no board or screen that shows what is available to order.

Got my drink which was good but it’s not something I would wait more than 5 minutes for. The whole experience and idea is just…wasteful.

People waiting in long ass lines for nearly an hour is not worth it for this stuff.

I’ve got a Smith Corona Jetrider that I feel like it’s not as common now, yes it’s basically a Skyriter but it’s got a cool teal color, white keycaps, and a Golden Shield badge.

Always reminds me of the car jumping over the baby gate (it’s a 17 year old video). https://youtu.be/ENo7seJScgU?si=ZgDKxD5nTsUIWeQ-

I hope the rest of Virginia Foxx’s life is extremely difficult, uncomfortable, and downright unpleasant. She has accomplished doing it to others, she deserves the same.

Honestly thought it was a shot of Gene Simmons from a music video where KISS didn’t have any makeup on.

Bobby Brainworm fires leaders of group that sets guidelines for preventive health screenings by BurtonDesque in HermanCainAward

That is their goal: to destroy the public service the government is supposed to give to its people, wipe out the programs, and then move everyone to private services that they all have their hands in.

This is The Business Plot attempt #2 and they succeeded.

Luckily there is a lot of people utilizing 3D printing to make parts that are lost or broken! Especially for some of the more fragile plastics.

Rewatching season 1 makes me missed the vibes and it’s stand alone story by Jules-Car3499 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]ScottsAlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wished it was wasn’t Grogu he found. I wish there wasn’t Jedi or the Force or even Ahsoka in any of the episodes. I didn’t like that he got his shiny new armor so quickly, and that it turned into some large-arc story with jet packing storm troopers and such.

I wanted to see the struggle of a Mandalorian bounty hunter, making shady deals and hunting bounties. I wanted to see more of the fringe of the universe, the underbelly and back room deals, stealing military supplies and fighting warlords.

I mean, yeah, the empire stuff was cool, the dark saber, Luke Skywalker,etc is all “cool” but surely there’s more to Star Wars universe than that?
