I remember being blown away by Nintendo 64 in the 90s.

Lol. You think I’m wealthy. Why are you still being racist?

Aww, the wealthy suburban white kid read Marx so now he’s an expert on everything.

I still, even trying to swap into their low-info mindset, cannot understand just what the fuck was the issue with a tan suit, exactly? I mean, even given their smooth brains.

The guy wearing it was black.

My geology teacher encouraged us to taste the rocks. 🤷

If you were smart enough to know how dumb you are you’d know why I accuse you of classism. You got your tests handed back face down, didn’t you? Also, “colored people”? Guess we might as well add racism to the list too.

Classism, so cool.

Don’t have to shovel heat.

Try not to cut yourself on that edge.

What?

How the fuck would he know? His cheap ass never pays for anything.

He’d never get anything done.

A modern car would be pretty impressive to someone from the 70s, even without the ability to fly.

“not chronically online”. Has a Lemmy account.

Could you imagine showing a modern game console to someone from the 70s?

I doubt it. Nobody who cares about what they’d have to say actually reads books, and they wouldn’t be able to afford a ghost writer anyway.

I met him once when his band played at my base. Had a long conversation about building a fence and how he was impressed with my fence building ability. I told him he was great in The Stand and he said “Really? Thank you for saying that. Nobody ever mentions The Stand to me.”

Is it a Romulan ship?

“Elect Republicans if the Democrats aren’t progressive enough” is certainly a take, a really fucking dumb take that has no understanding of our political system, but a take.

If you were born in 66, you were 8 when Vietnam ended. The civil rights movement was pretty much done by 74 as well. You might have fought in Desert Storm, but that was so small and quick the odds of you being there are pretty small. The AIDS epidemic was bad, but if you didn’t live in a major city you likely wouldn’t have known anyone with AIDS. The Cold War pretty was winding down by the time you were born and the threat of nuclear apocalypse was mostly bit really worth worrying about by the 80s.
