Sure, trade in your gremlin for a pinto…


I just want to say I have 30 year old DVDs that still read just fine, and I’ve had other DVDs that stopped reading after 10 years with no visible damage. Shits a crapshoot.


Didn’t they do this once before several years ago? Or maybe that was Amazon. In any case, if you don’t own what you pay for, then taking it without paying can’t be wrong.


I remember telling someone that, and they didn’t believe me. It had been a long time since I had read it, so I had to google it to make sure I hadn’t imagined it.


I don’t know what they were thinking.
$$$. That’s it, that’s what they were thinking. The previous Thors were among the worst performing MCU titles - I could be mistaken, but I believe Thor 2 was the worst. (Maybe outdated? Did eternals surpass it?) They needed to do something different to rake in the $$$, and they did, because the masses are stupid and will fork over $$$ if herded like cows. PS I actually liked Ragnarok, but I was never much of a marvel fan, so I didn’t have a preexisting idea of how the character should be portrayed to get offended by the switch.


Paying a subscription to do anything…


I mean, that’s kind of the point - someone else wiser said the real thing, then Mr smarty-pants heard it, didn’t understand it, but thought it sounded cool so began repeating what he thought he heard to people who also don’t know any better, but like the way he says it so they give him their money to play with. Business/capitalism in a nutshell.


I thought the one guy had shit a brick…


I beat my kids
at chess whenever we play.


I understood that reference.


More or less same, but I’ve gotten in the habit of saying “folder” to the younger crowd (at work) to be understood, and now they’ve become interchangeable, so I will switch back and forth in the same breath, confusing them even further…


I knew a guy in high school that choked himself out for fun, like he would devise techniques to make sure when he passed out the choking force would be removed, and he was trying to convince me to try it… No thanks, I’ll just stick to drugs.


When I was young I could go again within a couple minutes… After 30 it was pretty rare… Then in late 40s started having trouble keeping it up for a one time thing, but I figured it was psychological because my then wife didn’t want it (from me) anymore anyway… Then when that ended I took care of things, got a vasectomy and medication that lets me go multiple rounds again, at least in theory… Haven’t gotten to test out the theory yet, other than in my own hands…
What’s black and white and laughs?
The priest who pushed her.
I’m 51, I have several 30-something coworkers, one in particular gets all my cultural references, one in particular gets none of them. It’s fun to get them together…
I’m a 51 year old (as of today) and I feel like I’m 25, and when I talk to people… Wait, I don’t talk to people…
Oh yeah I have a KitchenAid mixer that was my grandmother’s, not sure how old it is exactly, but it’s at least 25 if not 30…
