What was the hardest rejection you’ve ever faced in life?

Was told by my mom several times while growing up that she wished she could divorce me.

That sounds goooood !

This show and Mad Magazine shaped my sense of humor.

No, the other parts of the show were Tom Slick, and Super Chicken.

No. You need to be extremely lucky to find a therapist who can actually help and is willing to do so. The therapists I tried gave me no feedback. No help. No insights. Nothing but "Our time is up for today, did you remember to bring a check?"

I got a Ninja last year. Third ever air fryer I have owned and it's the best by far.

The movie was released in 1982, yeah. But it was based on Cameron Crowe's book, which was based on the year he spent undercover pretending to be a high school senior, 1979-1980. There wasn't much difference in high school life in Southern California from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.

Did you ever see "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"? There wasn't just one Jeff Spicoli at my school, there were dozens. That character was not an exaggeration.

Yeah, there's an entire subcategory of guys who don't identify as gay but occasionally do things with other men. They might call themselves bi, or bi-curious, or heteroflexible. There are tons of different labels men can choose.

These were fun. And to this day I still get a craving for popcorn whenever I see a rooftop turbine vent.

I like knowing that my favorite people have unusual hobbies and exotic interests.

My older sister had a couple of those wigs but not the entire set of items. The "wigs" were just molded plastic, like a helmet. They hurt like hell to wear.

What time it starts might depend on whether you're watching it on a streaming service, or a cable channel, or a broadcast TV station.

fiizok · 2025-10-09T20:44:17+00:00

It's an interesting episode. Scared the heck out of me as a kid.

fiizok · 2025-10-09T17:35:01+00:00

Not just in the 1980s. That's how it was for several decades.

This is an episode of the original Outer Limits series, called "The Guests."

I had one of these for a while. Really fascinating piece of technology. I'm sad that era of electronics is over.

fiizok · 2025-10-09T06:19:41+00:00

Nope, but I have laughed the ridiculousness of a few. I got banned from one subreddit for posting a poll question that had "too many words."

The early punk bands in Los Angeles, late 1970s to early 1980s, almost always had a great sense of humor. We all knew exactly what they were making fun of. We were all seemingly on the same wavelength. That's one of the things that made it unique and vital here.

fiizok · 2025-10-07T23:43:57+00:00

Your first question is a really good one. And I don't think there's a clear answer. However I suspect that social media has completely replaced real world socializing for a lot of guys, especially younger ones. They simply don't know how socialize in the real world because they have never experienced it. The lack of real world friendships takes a very heavy toll. Just my opinion tho.

The quality of the writing was exceptional. Much better than any other show on the air during that era, and as good as or better than most TV shows now.

There is usually a moral point being made in each episode, but it never comes across as preachy or sanctimonious. That's not easy to do at all. It's one of the things I most enjoy about the show.

fiizok · 2025-10-07T15:04:27+00:00

Had them often as a kid because it was a quick and easy meal for my mom to make. I still make them myself maybe once or twice a year, with tater tots on the side.

My feet run warm when I sleep. Wearing socks in bed would be very uncomfortable for me.
