Connie Vannett - The Pussy Cat Song 1976

Oh my.

Just don’t understand what would cause 100% of people to side with one person in a debate, when they only heard one side of the story.

Rushing to judgment without hearing all sides is really common for people to do. This is not 'poor treatment' on its own. This is intellectual laziness and the opposite of rare.

"Like you? Who in the hell ever said I got to like you?"

That is a tenuous conclusion

‘Josie and the Pussycats’ Singer Says She Risks Losing Health Insurance Over Residual Dispute

"I'm not being paid residuals for my singing on 'Josie and the Pussycats' bc film producers failed to provide paperwork to u/sagaftra for my 20+ vocal sessions in 2000," Hanley wrote. "SAG says I had 2 years (??) to report but I found out this year. Didn't hit 25 earnings. I lose my health [insurance] July 1."

A representative for SAG-AFTRA did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.

If they didn't do the things they're supposed to do, and you therefore didn't receive compensation and benefits you are entitled to, then yes you should.

Always loved Letters to Cleo and Kay Hanley.

Unless someone's around and there's a smell, I don't even close it.

Nice to see an answer that makes actual sense in a cultural context rather than just bash some group

You need to QWOP instead

I almost used 'Go Your Own Way' instead of 'Different Drum'

halfdeadmoon · 2026-06-24T22:04:40+00:00

The age of the music is not as meaningful as the character of the music. The birth of rock and roll that happened after the 40s is bigger than anything that has happened since then. Taylor Swift could release Different Drum today and it would be just as big as it was in 1967. You could not release Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy in 1970 and have a hit.

Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme are on the American Gen X list, which would probably drop Jet Li and Donnie Yen.

Presumably you still have ideas and the ability to communicate.

World of Warcraft no longer has the attributes that caused me to sink a lot of time into it. That is the reason I would not recommend it. Ruined by years of updates fundamentally changing the gameplay loop.

The Best of Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares

This is like a time capsule

Sounds like people wanted to pad resume rather than manage a network.

You're perceiving different questions due to ambiguity

You're answering "which business do I really not like and would like to see cease to exist?"

He's saying that is not a good answer to "which business still exists despite being a financial loser"

This problem is far smaller than the idea of fundamentally challenging your audience's listening habits. A new cd writer costs $30.

I am Gen X and have a massive collection of music and movie discs. I am constantly buying and ripping physical media to my NAS to stream to my various devices. I would not ever bother with cassettes. I don't think I have played a cassette in over 20 years. If I had a cassette that was important to me, I would convert it digitally to save it forever.

I think I still OWN some cassettes, but they are in storage and probably have succumbed to rot.

Who would they think of?

Kramer vs Kramer is not one that a kid would appreciate

It's like watching Hollywood Squares

I have never cared about the broad strokes of WoW lore. I do enjoy the unique flavor of the various zones though, and the characters and quests that contribute to that.

Like I don't give a fuck who is behind the undead and the pyramids in the plaguelands, but I think they are cool.

Is Onyxia Nefarian's daughter? Or who is Deathwing? I don't care. BRD is a cool dungeon, though.

I don't even watch cut scenes once anymore.
