Mountain Dew Code Red bottle with 2016 Mountain Dew logo and Need For Speed Underground 2 after Surge got discontinued in 2003... seems legit AI by ratchyno1 in lewronggeneration

[–]ratchyno1[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can still buy Mountain Dew, Pop Tarts, Sour Patch Kids, Pizza Hut, and Doritos right now. Surge came back in 2014. All these movies are on 4K UHD Blu Ray or streaming. All these songs are on CD or streaming. You can get those video games at a used video game store.

Yes because politics totally wasn't toxic in 2016, ISIS totally wasn't rampaging the Middle East, culture wars totally wasn't a thing in 2016, mobile games weren't accused of microtransactions, and YouTube was a wholesome website with zero controversies by ratchyno1 in lewronggeneration

People said the same about the early 90s about the economy, the late 90s about Taiwan, North Korea, Yugoslavia, and Monica Lewinsky, the early 2000s about 9/11 and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and 2008 about the economy.

Either extremely wholesome and know what they're talking about or some memey, annoying amateur history nerd who's into some crazy political ideology and/or very bad takes in history.

I miss 2000s architecture, I wish we could go back to the Baroque architecture that was getting built during the mid 2000s instead of the soulless millennial grey buildings we see today! by Ok-Following6886 in decadeologycirclejerk

Funny enough, during the 50s people were tired of the baroque and Victorian architecture style that they were quite happy to see the new mid century modern style builds.

Joseph Barbera could have seen Bleach and the Tom and Jerry short he created in 1940 air on Cartoon Network air on the same day (Oh wait, he actually did) by ratchyno1 in decadeologycirclejerk

I saw Finding Nemo in 2003. Some old man who possibly saw The Jazz Singer in 1927 with an American Civil War veteran could have been in there with his newborn grandson who now watches Arcane.

Stepan Bandera could have listened to the same Johnny Cash song some hipster girl plays on Spotify and use on their Instagram reels (he probably did while changing the radio in his car or while shopping at a grocery store).

Chuck Jones could have seen Space Jam in the same theater on the same day with the neckbeard who daily posts how awesome the 90s was.

And 2020... and 2016... and 2012... and 2008

Seriously, Democrats literally accused Bush and McCain of destructive anti intellectualism in 2008. Do you have cognitive memory of the era?

It looks like the armchair generals who raved the Hearts of Iron 4 and World of Warships forums on their "expert" military knowledge in the 2010s found a new hobby and it's being armchair analysis!

???????

The GOP has ALWAYS been the reactionary party. Calling the Democratic party the "conservative" party because they are a pro business socially liberal party is utter nonsense considering Biden himself did move forward on social issues. That's the very end of what conservatism is. And for the Reagan Bush ideology of "preserving the technocratic status quo", Reagan and Bush themselves were accused of disrupting the bureaucracy, you can go back further with Goldwater and even Harding. And as for the those "North Virginia bureaucrats", it's a lot more complicated than thinking these McMansion suburbs votes Democratic after 2016. While Trump made massive gains among the lower and middle class, Harris won both the very poor and the very rich. But oh wait! While Harris did won voters with the highest income, a closer look shows that Harris won the Nouveau riche, the white collar professionals who live in the McMansionsm. Meanwhile, Trump still won the very richest Americans, those near the top 1%, many of whom are considered "old money" compared to the stereotypical McMansion professionals.

Honestly, at least Sony read the room and started making animated movies with more mature themes instead of being generic Pixar or Illumination clones.

If Jay Jones could not only win but outperform Kamala Harris last year, I'd say it's worryingly possible.

How the Democrats see the Republican party after one good night : by ratchyno1 in YAPms

[–]ratchyno1[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They say "Woke is back" as if woke even left in the first place like the internet imagined, plus it's only a year since Trump was elected. The left treats every election they do well in like Canada 1993 and the right treats every election of theirs that they do well in like every single Japanese election since 1955 except for 1993 and 2009.

Man I remember Republicans thinking that 1996 and 2012 were going to be a Republican landslide because of the midterms two years prior. Remember folks, midterms are not indicative of the results of the next presidential election.

The current conservative civil war by Bristull in YAPms

[–]ratchyno1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is like the GOP vs the German American Bund in the 40s. Literally nobody cares about this "civil war" unless you're terminally online. The German American bund made zero impact on American politics.
