vaginite posted:Seinfeld and Simpsons (and some other shows) are weird artifacts in that everybody watched these shows. It was actually a reliable common interest to test for as a conversation starter with a stranger you just met, and everyone got the references and stuff. The super bowl was 2 days ago, lol

I remember being in like kindergarten or.1st.grade when the shuttle exploded and exclaiming " That's awesome!" Then being told no it wasn't people died. I just thought that was what we were waiting for. I'm hoping that I can retire and get social security.

RVWinkle posted:I had an ancestor who was supposedly a scoundrel and uncouth. It was like 150 years ago but that's exclusively a character trait of someone in their 40s I had some great, great, great uncle that murdered his entire family and then drowned in a lake as he tried to swim away from law enforcement. I think he was also like in his late 40s, so there’s definitely something going on there.

I gotta talk to strangers a lot at work, I know this flowchart sounds goony but it's how I cope. sugar free jazz posted:i think and worry a lot about the culture Lol I'm not worried about it, just a thought I had w/r/t Seinfeld being a huge deal and the fact that there probably won't ever be a sitcom or show as big as it again with fractured media.

Chuds might say they don't trust mail-in voting, but it's just that they are big fans of disenfranchisement in general, not because there's anything actual wrong with it.

I just thought that was what we were waiting for. My first thought on 9/11 (I was ten years old) was something along the lines of “good, they deserve it”. Which, in hindsight, is a hosed up thing for a ten year old to think… those individuals probably didn’t deserved it - but drat was I right in the aggregate.

Low turnout day of voting is probably bad for Republicans. Sorry, by no way did I mean that in a doomer way. Mail-in ballots do favor democrats, and that is cause for optimism. I meant to say that's it's because turnout favors democrats in general. It's got nothing to do with CHUDs trusting it or not.

The real defining trait of zoomers is that we’ve lived either our entire lives or our entire adult lives in the state the country is currently in. That ain’t healthy.

vaginite posted:Was gonna say "sports" is the most reliable first poke now but it falls off a cliff after that, gotta get real open ended and hope they give you some clues. there is just so much content nowadays you can't possibly get through it. i just picked up fargo and i'm on season 2 but i also finished reacher season 2. those shows are like 10 years apart but almost guaranteed people have not watched those shows. i'm sure _some_ people have but i can't talk about it other than, "oh you should watch it" i think the other shows that have this cachet are like, the wire and the sopranos, but even then its not 100%. it really is just "sports" and not even the world series / stanley cup (you mean like the drink tumbler?) is really that relevant across the country.
