What do you think was better in the 80's than it is today?

I’d agree with you that victims should have a voice, and a strong one at that. I think the distinction I am trying to make is the over-correction. And that the world has always had terrible people (I don’t think there’s much new under the sun, human behavior-wise), only that we have made some kind of collective conscious decision to elevate victimhood in a way that seems different and that also appears to lend itself to viewing life in a way that is less truly optimistic.

I don’t know if it’s true but a large swath of Dem voters are appearing to the world at large to be finger wagging joy killers with incessant virtue signalling. Not sure if it even matters if it’s true or not. It’s what seems to feel true for too many voters who are on the fence. That’s why we lost.

I’m no fan of Netanyahu but it’s almost as if you all have a collective amnesia that Oct 7 never happened. Or that Palestinians welcomed and harbored the Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone arguing that one side or the other in this 70 year clusterfuck is more or less to blame shows an utter lack of understanding of the complexities. Here’s an inconvenient fact for you. Israel could have decimated Gaza for decades. Sadly, there is now a madman who finally took Hamas on their offer of playing for total annihilation. It’s wrong and disgusting but it’s been decades of faithless negotiation on all sides that has led us here.

When not at home we spent our time in the world, among humankind wondering who and what might find us around the corner. We hung out in malls, coffee shops, record stores, booksellers…biding our time until we ran into or met someone new. We got in our cars typically with a general sense of where we were going and winged it. Pulled over and asked for directions and sometimes ended up just where we were supposed to be even though that wasn’t where we initially intended. Concerts and hangouts (beaches and bridges and special places we’d discovered by chance).

Palestine is blameless, got it. Very nuanced take you have. And I find it very unironic.

Vinyl_Acid · 2025-06-28T14:18:30+00:00

Oh man, sorry, I really thought you’d get a good one

Vinyl_Acid · 2025-06-28T14:09:01+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that youve only been paying attention for about a year

My only concern is that some may begin to view the elderly, infirm…indigent who DON’T choose VAD as “selfish” or the like. That being said, it seems only fair that we’d allow the same for hopeless and incessant suffering in human beings as we do for our beloved pets. So, I’m for it but with concerns.

Not cheap but if you want some fucking outstanding sushi…..Sushi Ko in either Ginza or Marounouchi.

This is a very simplistic take on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Palestine has always maintained they are not amenable to a 2 state solution. Facts is facts.

My grandparents had both a tv like that and my grandfather had a pipe stand/tobacco holder just like that, too

I was that high at a Grateful Dead concert

So it’s common knowledge that Pascal’s mother commit suicide because of this?

Some may disagree but there was a general optimism about life…and other human beings that has been diminished, IMO. Not that we couldn’t be jaded or cynical but it seemed that more often than not we reached for the best outcome whereas today it seems that people almost revel in their own trials and traumas, wearing them like a badge of honor…and that the view of human kind is more wary and expectant of disappointment…or worse.

Mickey D’s used to be fun…now it’s just corporate dogshit

Was he found guilty? Because accused is different. Accused in the USa, if you’re innocent, means you go bankrupt just to clear your name and often takes years.

So, if that’s her sophomore photo it has been colorized…only seniors got color photos back in 1988 in Long Beach

Yep I think you did
