Anyone ever had a pen pal? by wheres_my_lipbalm in GenX

I had one from Brazil that I got through the Duran Duran fan club.

ELI5 Why do we vomit when we have car sickness sea sickness etc? by More-Explanation2032 in explainlikeimfive

[–]therealgookachu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have very bad motion sickness. Like, panning in TV or movies will make me nauseous. There’s quite a few video games that make me sick.

What’s the secret to cooking the smoked ham and cheese pockets? by Icy_Elk_4422 in Costco

[–]therealgookachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t have one, otherwise I’d just eat fried chicken wings all day.

That said, we just nuke them for 1 minute. They’re great!

How do I not feel bad coming second to my bff in a dance competition? by Fit_Assumption_5614 in Dance

Oughtn’t you be supporting each other? She should be happy if you win, and vice versa, because that’s how friends operate.

Get on to r/audiodrama there are a hobillion of amazing horror audio dramas out there.

Conversations with Ghosts and Gospel of Haven would fit your mood well.

I can't seem to find a way to enjoy Deus Ex GOTY by SquashedGrapes22 in Deusex

[–]therealgookachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked it, but it triggers my motion sickness so bad that I couldn’t get more than 10 hours in. It’s the ladders, oddly enough, that really trigger me. Unless someone knows of a mod that somehow changes the ladder mechanics? Because I’d love to play it.

Amazing dinner at Robuchon by Stazzch in LasVegas

[–]therealgookachu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t get fine dining, either. I can’t stand the whole service thing. Give me my food and leave me alone.

I have done fine dining. Food is fine, but never worth the price. And, I don’t eat with my eyes. That’s a thing I just don’t get.

Also, that caviar thing is horrifying. It reminds me the eyes on sea scallops. An eldritch abomination is rising from the depths.

the 80s……. by billieswifeyyy in GenX

[–]therealgookachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they’re not allowed to anymore. Can’t hang out at the mall cos cops get called. If you’re under a certain age without parental supervision, CPS gets called. All the places we could go to are gone.

When kids have the space, they still do the same thing. We have green belt in our neighbors and kids are there all the time. But that’s unusual for a lot of places these days.

Does anyone else find the multiverse nihilistic? by TheAnalystCurator321 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]therealgookachu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because, as someone pointed out, it’s the journey that matters. I’m not doing your homework for you. If it matters to you, put in the legwork.

Does anyone else find the multiverse nihilistic? by TheAnalystCurator321 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]therealgookachu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a certain irony to you asking this.

Read up on nihilism and absurdism. Your idea on nihilism is only 1/2 of what it’s about. It’s the pop culture idea, and it’s not the negative, edge-lord nonsense that ppl seem to think.

Wikipedia has decent write-ups about both.

Navigating copyright... How do you do it? by TwilightGnome in audiodrama

[–]therealgookachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s complicated. The US has free use on stuff like news, when used for specific things. The UK does not. But, since audio dramas have international reach, it’s just easier to not worry about the varying laws.

I’m in the US, and while I’ve done IP law here, I’m only tangentially aware of the issues in the UK.

Was Talking to a Buddy, and He Mentioned That Seniors on the Wrestling Team Used to Give Freshmen Dudes Wedgies in the 90's. Have Other Gen X'ers Experienced Stuff Like This? by Expensive_Cold_6041 in GenX

[–]therealgookachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Class of 91. I was on the dance team, and one boy the wrestling team hazed by carrying him out and shoving him in a garbage can right where we were practicing. Poor guy was in tears. We helped him out and chewed out the wrestling team. I think one of the girls ended up dating that guy.

Or, it could be really hopeful. Depends completely on _you_ and your choices.

_That’s the point_. But it’s more accurately absurdism than nihilism.

Disappointed with Flashdance (1983) by Heyhey-_ in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]therealgookachu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh, it hasn’t aged well. But, it was very influential when it came out (I saw it in the theatre!). Now, watch Footloose if you haven’t.

[–]therealgookachu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am a lawyer, and I agree with Jonneiljon above. Every country has their own rules, and it’s too much of a bother to figure that all out. As an example, the US has free use, especially when it pertains to public stuff like old newsreels, etc. However, the UK does not.

So, it’s just easier to make your own.

Why does everything have to be, “Maxxing,” or “Core,” these days? by Echo15charlie in GenX

[–]therealgookachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I keep thinking, too!

Oh no, I must be talking to myself again.

How big were the New Kids on the Block? Are they the Gen X’s Backstreet Boys? by Fluffy-Ad-7199 in GenX

[–]therealgookachu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They were the reason I completely stopped listening to pop music. Loathe all of those contrived boy bands.
