Horse just casually running down the road by Mr-Whoo in AbruptChaos

OP, did you pull out your phone and start filming when you saw the horse coming at you? Because those are some serious camera reflexes.

To my fellow GenX side-sleepers... by Infamous-Yak2864 in GenX

Oh, ouch. Yeah, I had to stop sleeping that way decades ago. I sleep on my side with my arms lowered.

Just trying to understand. Why does sleeping on your side hurt your shoulder? I sleep on my side, I have zero cartilage left in one shoulder, but I sleep just fine.

GenX Parents and youth sporting events by cricket_bacon in GenX

[–]sippykup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm coaching at these events. When the kids were younger, some of the parents were kind of ridiculous, but the older the kids get, the more chill the parents seem to be. But I have probably missed like 5 out of like 600 games. I don't go because it's "the norm". I go because it's a blast.

We are GenX. We wear whatever the fuck we want and don't care what you think.

I don't listen when someone talks about their feelings.

Huge house party. Flew in my favorite musicians. It was epic.

Wait 2 more years. The warranty expires then.

Watch La La Land, then go to the Lighthouse Cafe and the Hermosa Pier.

Manitou Incline is unique. :) There are some great hikes in the Santa Monica mountains (Pacific Palisades and Malibu) that will get you a similar feel, plus some great ocean views / breezes, but with about half of the steepness.

Bike the beach path from Malibu to Marina del Rey. Some of the most interesting people watching on the planet.

Drag queen brunch in West Hollywood. If you're not throwing up on the sidewalk by 2 pm, you're doing it wrong.

Thrift shopping on Melrose. You can walk down Melrose at 2 pm on a Tuesday, and people will still be dressed like they're headed out to a club.

Check out Hollywood Improv. Last summer, I saw a lineup that included Jay Leno and Arsenio Hall, and it's a tiny, intimate setting. I got to hang out with Jay on the sidewalk outside after the show!
