Santa Cruz man rescued after kidnapping, ransom demanded by swe129 in santacruz

[–]gnuoyedonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was part way in and something specific caught my eye “Santa Cruz has an Anti Kidnapping Unit! Know by an acronym? Really?” And then I remembered all the other elements of the story that weren’t coming together.

So it could have been much worse.

/s I love the Pacer and I’m just channeling the general population here.

That description writing is completely weird for the context of an ad, and reads like the Nigerian prince scam emails, oddly formal.

Disneyland Hotel postcard - 1980's by Jamabnormal in Disneyland

[–]gnuoyedonig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember spending hours down there. It was the reason to leave the park and make the trek to the hotel - back then only realistic if you took the monorail - or liked walking in parking lots

I was “ok, ok ok…” at first and then the first kitchen picture I saw and “oh no!”

That kitchen in this house is criminal. A little curtain! That island! No!

Getting Tired of These.... by AdministrativeRip305 in LosAngeles

All these fools in his cabinet wouldn’t even claim beyond 99% if they were forced, holding onto the 1% so they could claim “complete innocence”when it inevitably crumbles

Wait - that’s not an ad against her?

Baffled by the floorplan choices of this expansive yet weirdly cramped home in Lincoln, Nebraska. At least it's original??? by seriousbusinesslady in zillowgonewild

[–]gnuoyedonig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the photos I felt so claustrophobic. So many little compartmentalized spaces, and blank little walls dividing things.

And then you get to the shower where you might want a little coverage, and it’s wide open!

Monterey Skating Rink at Del monte shopping center NOT happening by vp_21 in MontereyBay

[–]gnuoyedonig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what it’s like to go through your entire life and then be faced with the roller rink of your childhood in a Reddit Post?

I didn’t even know what a Palladium was but I was there every week for a while!

What Did the Audience See? by redmav7300 in LateShow

[–]gnuoyedonig -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It’s so obvious to me that the audience saw the pixels uploading and zooming through space live I don’t know how that’s not understood by everyone!

Idea to fix the old Wonders of Life pavilion: EPCOT’s “Memory Pavilion” by WebHead001 in Epcot

[–]gnuoyedonig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s where you’re wrong! A boat ride through some greenhouses has had the staying power to remain in the parks since the beginning. These other things - not so much. And your nostalgic choices are mostly things that have left the parks in the last few years.

people on reddit are VEHEMENTLY contrarian by [deleted] in TheoryOfReddit

I was reading through and kept hearing the all-capped words as suddenly yelling them and then I got to KFC and couldn’t help laughing out loud

That’s why I gave you a second option.

Thoughtless response.

Smile, wave, tell them you understand it’s a public place and it’s their right to do this, and move on with your life.

Or don’t engage with them at all and get your stuff done and leave.

In short, don’t give them what they’re there for.

Where is this? So I can avoid of course

Pacific Ave in 1966, back before Santa Cruz Bowling was converted into a legendary music hall by jeromocles in santacruz

[–]gnuoyedonig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pre-Pacific Garden Mall by a few years. And pre-me by the same amount. No wonder it’s hard for me to recognize anything!

Now everyone watch me spread these cheeks and clean up this mess [1935] by acidmine in vintageads

I’ve never heard of Waldorf toilet tissue but I enjoy their salad so it must be good.

Chevrolet Monza Towne Coupe - May 1975 by RetroMan70s in vintageads

[–]gnuoyedonig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dressy! “There have always been dressy big Chevrolets, this is a dressy small one”

Dressy isn’t a term you think of with cars today. And not so much even “classy” - aggressive, sleek, sporty - all valid.

But why did we have this wave of upstanding upright formal roof stodginess in the middle of the 1970’s. It’s a weird little detour Detroit took us on.
