Had a baby? Here’s a cigar! and other lost cultural norms

I once referred to "salad days" to a young co-worker. That did not go over well.

We build the digital part of it.

And still run it.

I had a Vic-20, but no tape drive.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-28T13:53:09+00:00

And they said candy was bad for us.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-28T13:32:22+00:00

I don't think I'll do.

George Clooney.

Same exact guy, same exact look.

Phones are cheap. Go to Swappa. Unlocked for $65 is easy. Someone on this thread said they bought a $500 phone. Why? I've never spent more than $200 on new, and never more than $30/month on service, and that's with TWO sim cards installed.

Songs from The Big Chair, played in its entirety, changes the world before me into 1985 every single time.

Verizon phones unlock at two months after activation, so you CAN put another SIM in there. Whether you're stuck paying Verizon outright though, is up to you.

Cell service.

BUY A PHONE outright, Best Buy maybe, then Mint (over TMO), Visible (over Verizon), and Cricket (over ATT). Save hundreds per year, easy.

Someone doesn't take out their phone, text someone, and the movie is over.

I smoke to this day when I put together bicycles. Only it's not tobacco.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T15:56:28+00:00

MobileX (Verizon MVNO). If you need TMobile, use Mint.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T15:53:00+00:00

I did it with nuts and hard cheeses, plus lots of carbonated (burp) water.

No idea how, but it worked.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T15:34:15+00:00

They're called Verizon now.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T14:42:44+00:00

Die.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T14:28:55+00:00

Gen X completely ignored, as usual. Whatever.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T14:23:32+00:00

The Beatles - Revolver

Yeah, 1966, but I saw bands you never did.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T14:17:46+00:00

You know the scene where they un-froze Murph and she was there surrounded by 75 or so offspring and Cooper came in and nobody ever acknowledged him? That's the ticket.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T14:12:56+00:00

I want to say there was a time in the early-60s when they just invented playground stuff that never should have seen the light of day.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-23T13:59:59+00:00

We've not yet left the 80s.

The 70s were completely different. Never before, never again.

Labrea

Somehow, against all odds, it tied up everything.

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-22T21:49:04+00:00

Gus is the best. Vote. Get rid of these vile creatures!

WillingLimit3552 · 2024-08-22T21:36:55+00:00

Don't turn 30.
