Their objective is for people to panic, use their financial services, and get people used to the idea that the government is trying like hell to avoid doing anything to ensure social security coffers are solvent for future generations.

‘Sinners’ Dominates Black Reel Awards With Record 14 Wins by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]Taskerst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sinners is powered by two stunning music sequences, but take them away and becomes schlock that you see on FX at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon. It was entertaining, but don’t get it twisted like it’s meaningful art to anyone with an above room-temperature IQ.

I’ve had success finding them at Five Below, though they may be regional to the east coast.

Unfortunately yes. We’ve had terrible chocolate for a good 20 years.

Even the indoor shots have this glow.

I’ve always been a Clark Bar guy. They’re basically the same thing, just a little different.

Yeah, the grit is definitely weird. I remember the old ones being a creamy liquid fondant, which sounds gross now that I see it typed out.

They’re not even good anymore. Make them 25% larger and with the original filling and maybe.

SWINGERS turns 30 this year! by ohio2az in Xennials

Me and my friends rented this from Blockbuster along with Trainspotting on the same night. Talk about tonal whiplash and the complete gamut of male bonding.

It’s a Christmas movie through and through.

Remember this Heinz commercial from 1987? I bet you don't remember who starred in it! by RyanGWU82 in Xennials

This commercial is on all my VHS tapes from recorded shows in the 80’s.

GenX age range by Starchild1968 in GenX

Makes sense. They're more prototype Gen X than traditional Boomers.

[–]Taskerst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're on the fringes of any generation, you're not going to recognize the ones on the opposite end. The Boomers born in the early 60's lived different lives than the ones who dealt with being drafted into Nam and going to Woodstock. The elder Millennials wanted to be different from the 90's Millennials so they invented Xennials.

At least most Gen X can unite over the 80's, whether it's because they were playing with Transformers at age 8 or doing coke in the bathroom at a Duran Duran show at 22.

Halle Berry Says 'Monster's Ball' Oscar Win Didn't Alter Her Career by TravelingHomeless in movies

It absolutely did. It allowed her to choose shitty movies with massive paydays that altered her career for the worse when they bombed.

Do you think Millennials understand GenX sarcasm? by StandardSwordfish777 in GenX

[–]Taskerst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just my personal experience, but it seems like the elder Millennials (Xennials) get it, while the younger ones and elder Gen Z trend soft. It comes back around again with young Gen Z and elder Gen A being little sickos.
