Wasn't MTV the start of that? Or maybe earlier stuff but I wasn't around for that.

Some people have never watched the driveway for their parents' car while downloading an 80k porn jpeg over dialup and it shows.

That's incredible. I was writing out a lot about how it's one of those things where if you're not great at it, you can just glom on to somebody who is, but was having some difficulty with the wording and scrolled down. So are you feeding @Gorillatactics album recommendations now and if so, can the rest of us get in on that?

If I ordered a club sandwich and didn't get a double decker, I'd infer that my application had been declined.

Add another 10x for retail pharmacy billing.

Baiting them into quitting just selects for a bait-averse capitalist. Tom from MySpace decided to enjoy his life and we got Zuck.

My foster cat, fed, petted and played with, still decided to watch me scrolling and occasionally typing or clicking instead of the busy highway that she could stare at instead. To her, I'm the best thing on. Foster if you can.

I thought it was going to be about quitting a substance.

As far as work goes, what happens if you're comfortable breaking norms? Like literally do the napkin thing and walk out the door ignoring anything anyone says to you. Will you be physically restrained or will they just let you go and stalk you at your new job?

Have you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future? I showed it to somebody who left religion decades earlier and could see what a gut punch it still was. I think he had basically substituted indefinite space exploration for heaven and finding out that even that's not an option was like losing faith a second time.

The best breakfast potatoes start off as baked potatoes. Bake 'em, wait up to overnight, chop them up and prepare with the onions and spices and what-have-you. If you still want to have them baked-style, go nuts.

Have all hexbears touched a music recording, i.e., a CD, cassette or record? I realized that people who never have are going to be an increasing segment of the population and wondered if any of us are in it.

That genuinely made my day.

Drinking out of cups. Being a Hierophant.

Hit me

I went to the totality zone of the solar eclipse and people were giving their little kids the lunar eclipse explanation, saying the earth's shadow was going to cover the moon. People who deliberately came to the event where what was going on was explained countless times got it that wrong. People back then were just as smart as us; not very. The only reason there weren't freak-outs of historical importance is that the whole thing is over before you can organize a cult around it.
