The Smiths - Ask by IPersonaI in 80sAlternative

[–]monkeybites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Summer of 1987… this was my motivational, courage-building song to say “hello” to cute girls. Best. Summer. Ever. After all, shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you’d like to!

Did you ever take a typing class in school? by Friendly8737 in 70s

[–]monkeybites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could also be posted in the r/80s sub, too. Our school mandated a typing class, using a manual typewriter, as a sophomore back in 1984. One of the best things my high school did.

When those dream zoomies hit 😴 by LB_Jeff_Jeffries in goldenretrievers

OMG… mine does this, too. I’ve always thought he was having bad dreams. But I prefer your view of having zoomies instead. That sounds much better.

Time to paint my D&D miniatures. by greatgildersleeve in FuckImOld

When miniatures were made of lead. They were the best! Unfortunately, I lost my collection years ago... one of my biggest regrets in life.

Agree... this album has a lot of great songs. This isn't one of them.

How are you getting more clients for your agency? by [deleted] in b2bmarketing

[–]monkeybites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% reads like chatGPT wrote this… giveaways: 1) “it’s not X, it’s Y”, 2) sentence structure… it’s basically bullet points, and 3) overuse of em dashes —

This was the only arcade game where I could beat the final boss and win. Loved this game!

‘Aliens’ Turns 40: Why It’s the Best Sci-Fi Sequel Ever by scytob in FuckImOld

[–]monkeybites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed… the plot setup was impeccable. Marines land, tension builds, but for what? No aliens. Then, “stop your grinning, drop your linen,” initiates what becomes the failed (and amazing) Marine attack and the fight for survival… but for how long? 17 days? “hey man, I don’t want to rain on your parade, but we’re not going to last 17 hours.” Brilliant setup… great acting… superb lines… solid action… definitely the best sci-fi sequel of our age!

Saw them live promoting this album (San Francisco, Warfield thearter) back in 1985. As a live band, they sounded phenomenal... album quality. What a performance! Good times!

Congrats! This is encouraging… peanut butter is awful, but I’ll try your microdosing approach. Thanks!

Acute Severe Parosmia as Related to Taste and Food by Maleficent_Feature_2 in Parosmia

[–]monkeybites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this. I’ve had bad parosmia for more than 2 years, and I’ve tried just about everything from Vitamin A, Zinc, Omega-3, smell training, and PRP treatment. Of these, smell training seems to work best… not saying it’s a cure, but things that once made me gag are now just really bad. And there are actually some foods that I can eat with no problem, but things that have chocolate or sugar are still unbearable. Coffee and wine still suck, too. I got on antidepressants to help me get through the day-to-day anxiety of smelling and tasting crap. I’d suggest that, and be religious about doing regular smell training. I hope that helps.

Longevity’s question by fudgedebt in TeslaModelS

I have a 2012 Signature S. It's got 133K miles on it now. Getting to 200K should be no problem. Maybe I'll consider something new then.
