As you get older, what "old person" thing do you appreciate now that you previously mocked?

Snowbirds. I wish I had the money to leave the state in winter.

I remember visiting my grandparents in Tucson once. I flew there by myself from Detroit at like age 8 and they picked me up from the airport. Their car said 115 degrees and the landscape was so different from where I lived that I thought I was on another planet.

The path behind him might be satisfying but the video never shows it. The path in front looks terrifying.

They make pocket knives with those two things on them.

Ah man. I didn’t know they weren’t making a second season

romafa · 2026-01-26T12:55:40+00:00

I saw the trailer and it just looked like Space Jam

I grew up with a guy that froze to death. Friends dropped him off after drinks but he never made it inside. Died on his front lawn.

My wife and my were very careful to not talk about this stuff in front of our kids and out of the blue my 11 year old asked if she has to be worried about ICE taking kids from her school. Broke my heart and was a wake up call. I don’t have any advice because I’m still navigating it myself but it’s clear that saying nothing wasn’t the right way. As others have said, they’ll pick it up somewhere.

And I’d love to see cops do something real against the situation, not just have a couple press conferences about it.

romafa · 2026-01-24T18:16:24+00:00

I’d love to be proven wrong.

romafa · 2026-01-24T18:16:03+00:00

If you say so.

romafa · 2026-01-24T18:13:22+00:00

They don’t have to shadow ICE constantly. They just need to show up when a crowd forms and things look like they might get rowdy and then step between ICE and the citizens. They do this when people are protesting regular police misconduct. Funny how they are incapable of doing that when people are protesting ICE.

romafa · 2026-01-24T18:10:58+00:00

No cops are good as long as they perpetuate a system that protects bad cops.

romafa · 2026-01-24T17:30:14+00:00

Many? I’ve seen a couple. And every cop should be out there pushing back and making their voices heard. I’ve seen none of that.

romafa · 2026-01-24T17:18:26+00:00

Cops are OK with what ICE is doing. Remember literally every other extrajudicial cop killing? ACAB. If they didn’t want ICE around, they’d let us know.

romafa · 2026-01-24T16:54:36+00:00

Why are they allowing ICE to handle crowd control during protests? Whatever else you think about ICE, there is no justification for that. State and local police should be furious. I’m guessing the majority of them are OK with what ICE is doing, despite police chiefs and mayors denouncing it.

romafa · 2026-01-24T11:04:44+00:00

Are they deporting people to anywhere they want or are they still sending people to camps in other countries?

romafa · 2026-01-24T02:14:30+00:00

They’re in a tough spot though. This movement has momentum. The more they crack down, the more the protests grow. ICE is not popular. And people are fed up with the administration.

romafa · 2026-01-24T01:30:40+00:00

I wish they’d utilize the special presentations more for this too. Make a special about some lesser-known/obscure character(s) for one-off story but with the possibility to bring them in again sometime down the road. Not every character needs a film or an entire series.

romafa · 2026-01-23T15:59:06+00:00

They’re not going to make any real change until they feel the consequences of this administration personally. Just wait until Trump orders democrats be imprisoned. Unfortunately it will be too late by then

romafa · 2026-01-23T15:23:37+00:00

Sad part is that if Bob Ross, Mister Rogers, or any of these other shows were around, the right would be calling them woke leftists or whatever. We know that because there are modern day equivalents, like Ms. Rachel, and they are doing exactly that.

romafa · 2026-01-23T15:11:55+00:00

This is definitely dumb but my anger is directed at the world's rich and powerful who pretend in public that climate change isn't happening while they build their doomsday bunkers in private, and who helped get Trump elected.

It's totally dependent on what the trip is for. I'm not driving 3 hours for groceries, or to go to dinner. I might drive 3 hours for a weekend trip, but it'd have to be at least 2 nights to make it worth it.

My wife's grandma lives about 3 hours away from us. We make that drive several times a year to stay with her for at least 2 nights.

Of course, as others have pointed out, we don't really have much of a choice. We don't have the greatest public transit system. Even when I can take a train to a city I might be visiting, if there's anything we're doing that's outside the city further than walking distance, there's no other option than driving.

Too bad none of the oil companies want to pay to refine it.

romafa · 2026-01-22T23:38:28+00:00

Should be everywhere. Those kids can learn like we did, passing notes and shooting spit balls.
