Right?! We call it “The before times” now in my circle. It’s so stark, it’s similar to how everything changed after 9/11.
Ironically, in my bubble of life/friends there are two camps, like you stated and I am in camp 2016. I always use the night the Cubs won the world series as my benchmark ;) nothing has been the same since.
Their chicken is nasty IMO. I just got Purdue at Kroger and hour ago and it was 2.99 a pound for boneless/skinless. It’s my preferred brand. Butchered well, way more tender.
I hear ya! I am typically not one to rewatch much, simply because my list of new things is quite large.
I actually heard this on the radio yesterday on the way home and it was a great interview. Makes me want to watch the next generation again
Same here! My main issues/concerns are due to weather and the lack of a place to charge up. Already this year we’ve seen how they don’t do well in extreme cold or heat. And my area also had significant storms recently so flooding, no power, etc. And I live in an area will large hills (look like mountains, but not quite) and my friends with electric cars complain about it quite a bit. It drains the battery and struggles on some inclines.
The best I’ve seen so far is a Lexus hybrid sedan a friend has. Handles the terrain well, charges as you drive, doesn’t need plugged in at all.
I feel like they need to have more going for them until we can all switch.
Just wanted to say I agree with everything you said. As a woman who has worked with the public for 30+ years I have never said yes to someone who asked me out while working.
Kitty litter helps with traction and if you have room, some boards too.
My 17yo thought I was bullshitting him when we were talking about these jokes. He googled it and was speechless. I was kinda young when they were popular but remember vividly my uncle’s telling them often.
To add to your comment, estate sales are a fantastic place to obtain all the items you just mentioned.
Setting them up is a part of my job, and the sale we just had Saturday had items relating to your post!
Basically could walk out with tons of new hobby materials for under $30. Probably under $20.
Oops wrong date! Meant 2053!
<After the war ended in 2053, humanity slowly began to rebuild civilization and the planet, eliminating sickness, hunger, poverty, and despair within two generations. Earth was mostly restored by the 22nd century as the United Earth Government formed, however there were still some lingering effects from the post atomic horror. Star Trek: Enterprise
This is where that paragraph came from (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Earth) Cool place if you’re into Star Trek
That’s just it right there. I don’t carry my birth certificate with me! We don’t have “papers” so how’s this going to work? Not to mention the huge swath this opened wide for an easy way to profile anyone, search the car, etc.
That would be nice, although remember what started it all in 2063 2053 :/
The world has lost /is losing a lot of food this past year alone. Saw an article that Georgia (US) lost 90% of it’s peaches this season, folks/farms from the Midwest and Canada either couldn’t plant at all due to lack of rain or what was planted has died already.
The dam that was blown up in Ukraine ruined a huge area of farming that has global significance as they exported a lot of grains and oil seeds.
Spain is facing over 60% crop failures and the third year without honey.
Cotton crops from Texas and Spain also at a huge loss.
I am sure there’s more, this is just off the top of my head. It’ll take a little bit for it all to show up, but we are definitely going to be feeling the effects of this by next year I’m sure.
Ok so this whole thread has me tripping about…cars. Like, I know the statistics, but my son will be driving daily to school for the first time starting in August, has only been driving occasionally since last year and I am so not ready 🤪
I love where I live (semi rural/woods) for the peace and quiet and low COL but between being 15 min from town and the terrain (Appalachia) it is impossible to not drive everywhere.
I always check for OP replies because that’s the fun part! If no OP engagement I usually move on. Also, great comment.
I ate way too many roasted chickpeas the first time I did it too. They’re so good. Another good thing in the corn department is to buy a can of hominy. It kind of tastes like the corn nuts snack you can buy at the store. So good
In 1988 when I was in hair school and instructor was diagnosed with HIV and was fired. He wasn’t allowed to do hair anymore either. Lost his job and cosmetology license. Wasn’t allowed to touch people. We weren’t even allowed to talk about it. HIV and AIDS were running rampant and it was buried for years. People were treated as lepers. Wasn’t until a young boy was infected from a blood transfusion that they even took it somewhat seriously. Only 35 years ago.
Had a friend who died from AIDS in 1992 that was infected from a breast implant surgery and tons of folks wouldn’t go to her funeral!
Spot on
