I live 2000 miles away and it’s starting to worry me. They’re getting less self sufficient. The problem is they live in a place I’d really rather not live and raise my kid. And sibling is 1000 miles away from them and 100% not responsible or financially stable so all responsibility will fall to me. It’s stressful to think about. My kid is young and I wish we’d had him sooner.

They made basically a throwback of it, though it’s a brand new game with different levels, but it has the same look and feel. It came out a few years ago on Steam and I assume Xbox/PlayStation/Switch. It’s called “TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge”.

Sweets from your childhood you haven't had in ages?

Hershey’s BarNone too. The original, not the reboot, or the more recent new owner reboot which were good when they were fresh from the first run but then they never made more and were selling old expired stock. Nothing can touch the OG. PB Max is in the same tier too though.

They were a self-formed comedy troupe called The State before they had a show.

I think what’s so enraging about the phone tree menus is that if the question could be answered via their automated crap I could and would have already had the answer from their website/app. I’m literally only calling because the reason necessitates talking to a human.

Back then everyone said they lowered your sperm count. Never looked into whether any truth to it or if it was just like Richard Gere and the hamster or Marilyn Manson and his bottom rib lol

In school they told us about how puberty was going to change our bodies but nobody told us how our 40's would.

Eye doctor told me the reason is that our eye lenses continue “growing” even after the rest of our body has long since stopped. Basically, it keeps gradually building up layers of cells so it becomes thicker and thicker with age. In our forties it reaches a thickness where our eye muscles that basically bend/deform the lens to focus on things closer up are no longer able to bend the lens enough due to the increased thickness.

1993 had tons of great suggestions. Creep, No Rain, I Will Always Love You, but the Pumpkins win out. | It's time for 1994!

I've seen posts here and on TikTok about the youngins not knowing how to use tech we did like VHS tapes, floppy disks, etc. But what's some tech that our parents and grandparents used that made you feel equally clueless?

And if you want much more background and details, go watch Adam Curtis’s 4-part 2002 BBC documentary, “The Century of the Self.” It’s available free on YouTube on his official channel (playlist here): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLktPdpPFKHfoXRfTPOwyR8SG8EHLWOSj6 I watched it when it came out, and then again during COVID after the BLM riots and Jan 6 disaster, and it really hit home hard.
