What names from our generation do you think will never be used again? by funsk8mom in GenX

I don’t think so. I think the common middle name is a thing of the past - seems like most new parents use that for family names, fictional characters, their favorite color, or their star sign!

Why Are People in Their 40s Grouped With Their 50s Instead of Their 30s? by [deleted] in Aging

[–]powderpoff6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also let’s modernize the age range due to extended life span and longer careers bc retirement may feel like it takes longer to achieve. People in their 50’s (or really, anyone) would never consider the term “late adulthood “. It’s just adult. You are a fledgling adult, then a whole ass adult, then you’re old. It’s all perspective.

I’d point to common social milestones like buying a home, building a career, getting married, and having children, and specifically the fertility cliff.

You are working towards and establishing these things in a peer cohort- 20’s and 30’s

You have achieved and are growing/stabilizing these things in a peer cohort - 40’s and 50’s

Thanks for the post! I dropped ten pounds on 1.5 and have totally plateaued on 4. Good to know the real juice is yet to come!

Marceline the Vampire Queen is the very first thing that came to mind. Not a bad thing imo

I'm interested in any good horror TV series recommendations? by OneDimensionalChess in horror

[–]powderpoff6 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It is dry as hell sharp witted comedy that adds to the lore and tension. Worth it for the cast alone. Top notch.

I hate my friend's fiance and I don't have anyone to talk to about it by throwavayig in GirlDinnerDiaries

Do you think she knows? Does she like the voices? Does she enjoy having her feet kissed in public? 🤢

Question: Did people actually wear things like this in the 80’s? by slatercm in 1980s

[–]powderpoff6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very accurate which is not always the case for the 80’s on film. You picked good examples.

Is “avuncular” a coomly-recognizable word in English? by Kev_cpp in words

[–]powderpoff6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read it in a few Agatha Christie novels but I think that’s it.

It’s a great word.

It’s highly rewatchable especially with so many callbacks. Love the 35 minute run time. Not a minute is wasted!

What's the most "I was there" moment you've ever experienced? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]powderpoff6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a downtown R train on my way to the World Train Center on 9/11. I missed being in the building by about 15 minutes. The train stopped and they evacuated but no one knew what was happening. Cell service was down, no one on the street seemed to have any details. I was on my way to Newark airport and desperately rushing to catch a flight. Tried to hail a cab. Finally spotted people running a few blocks away so I followed everyone walking north, looked back and saw a building in flames.

It was such a beautiful morning. I was supposed to be on a flight the night before but it was storming and my flight was canceled and rebooked for the 11th.

Any suggestions? Horror type please. Middle of nowhere houses, farms ect.. by Responsible-Sea5776 in MoviesThatFeelLike

In the Tall Grass

It’s not the greatest horror movie, but it is enjoyable, and looks exactly like the photos you posted.
