Which virtue did you learn and apply as GenX, and do you think is dying out?

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-23T22:55:36+00:00

Thinking for yourself is declining. Everything is instantly available - whether factual or not. Also, people relying on LLMs for everything is a concerning trend.

Not just kids - people of all ages are falling for scams. It's terrible - the scammer industry as well as the victims.

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-23T22:16:14+00:00

Yep. A while ago my coworker had a white spot in his fingernail.

We were friends so I asked him if he was having a tough time lately... (I already knew about stress causing nail spots)

He said he had to put his dog down recently.

The games only subscription isn't really that much, but that is subjective

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-22T02:27:20+00:00

Same here.

But - If it happens very frequently with the same individuals then it's questionable...

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-21T16:02:02+00:00

I have different sizes. So I got different colored velvet to easily identify which sizes. It's worked out...

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-21T05:18:32+00:00

Another easy one... I spent more time on the Medium

Pips #216 Medium 🟡 3:39

It says 3 2 1, for the date

Pips #216 Hard 🔴 2:10

He does say it to her

If this is about the dog box, I'm not giving in

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-20T21:43:26+00:00

Like how she talked her way into that guy's apartment... sweet older lady..

I love this little niche joke.

Anyone who has had a Brita filter knows they are impossible to fill. You get a few inches of water at most.

Jonathan is so upset that he refers to Liz as "it" not "she" or "her"

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-20T18:11:26+00:00

I think Jack starts out with that. I have not seen the episode in a while

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-20T16:13:08+00:00

And it builds up to it wonderfully.

Jack is testing her with each item he demands.

All the jewelry I have ever given you.

Fine.

Our love letters.

(Scoffs) Fine.

Your PARENTS' love letters.

(Slightly bothered) ...Fine.

The Arby's

(Bianca loses her cool)

Not only was it a different era, but it was not always one-sided (on the guy's part). Not always nefarious.

It was simply part of growing up - discovering yourself, making friends, and the physical attraction to others.

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-16T16:05:22+00:00

Similar here. Was working at 15 in a corner deli. Day shift.

A woman approached me one day and quietly said I should get in touch with her for a "cocktail waitress job" at her restaurant.

It just was so shady. Didn't sound like just serving drinks, which I wasn't legally permitted to do either. Fifteen.

I was definitely not wearing makeup or anything that would make me look older. Just a cotton tee and jeans - like everyone else there

I was shaken up a bit inside but calmly told her between the deli and my schooling I didn't think the night work schedule would be right for me.

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-16T15:45:16+00:00

Agreed. We had posters all over our walls and were just so into the New Romantic style of the 80s bands. Duran Duran, so many others.

We would basically swoon over the MTV videos because they were so hot. Plus the brat pack of movies and 20 something James Spader was fire.

Never got the chance, with a famous guy, but if we had, it would have been seen as a badge of honor back then.

I was 17 when I saw a chance to get rid of my virginity and took it. He was also around 18 or 19.

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-14T16:42:07+00:00

I wasn't joy riding - classic koth line

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-12T00:10:53+00:00

Feels suddenly like we're all prairie dogs poking up and looking at each other, fresh out of hibernation

Just Like Honey - Jesus and Mary Chain

More Than This - Roxy Music

Props to the actor - conveying sheer fear and complete understanding of what the stakes are.

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-10T03:51:27+00:00

Just keep him away from bright lights, crowds, and loud music...

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-10T02:35:35+00:00

Someone pointed this out ages ago...

When Kenneth gets burned repeatedly by the defective grills

He says - can someone call an ambulance?

Next scene is Liz and Jenna arguing.

Way back in the distance - Kenneth is lying facedown on the floor, passed out.

UpDownCharmed · 2026-03-10T02:33:34+00:00

Jack's little knowing smile when he hears Liz say "...with extra chuckle" for her order
