Futurama was wicked funny how they introduced that. It seemed like it was gonna suck big time for fry to live in a closet sized ‘apartment’ but that ‘apartment’ had a closet that was bigger than most big ass apartments!

Pinball is life. Forrest Gump got it wrong. Life is not like a box of chocolates. It is like a pinball game. You’re bouncing around like crazy and then suddenly it all ends when you go down the drain…

You know, before Trump and the rise of neo-nazism into the mainstream I used to be huge into interwar media (early talkies, silent films, radio, etc) and one thing I found was a sci-fi radio show (I am not sure if it was Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon or something else) that seemed to treat the very concept of making into space in the 20th century as an impossible concept.
But a little over 20 years after that broadcast Sputnik happened. So many listeners and writers of the time absolutely were eating their own words afterward.

This is true. We might think that science and tech advanced slowly and steadily, and while that is technically true in some sense, as a general rule science advanced in exponential levels. Like the 2nd industrial revolution of the late 19th century saw such a massive explosion in tech that it created a change that could only be compared to the agricultural revolution.
And let’s not get started on the 20th century. Going from first heavier than air flight to landing on the moon in 66 years? Yeah that cannot be overstated.

The post-WW2 greatest generation lifestyle was something else. Not to say that all WW2 veterans were well-off (WW2 veterans had a LOT of PTSD and many never recovered from wartime trauma), but increased housing development meant cheap houses for many people. A lot of houses of that time left a lot to be desired in modern terms (like some bathrooms had slots to put used safety razors in, but had no way of emptying them out…), but far more people than ever were actually able to afford homes.

Joke is on them. I have had every NES and SNES rom ever made. I need to make sure i have every N64 rom (even if I don’t play that often) and now every GameCube.
I still don’t have a Wii emulator or even looked into that.

- Comment on How can you tell 23 subgenres of equally shitty growls and screams apart, but not see the most Metal basics? 2 weeks ago:
If I die and go to hell and there is no metal genre playing then I know I truly went to hell.
And for those who say ‘what about all the people before metal music was invented who died and went to hell’. To that I have to say that metal music is eternal and the history of music is a lie!

EVEN NUMBERS ONLY! 15? Are you fucking kidding me? They come in 6, 12, or 18, or those big 30 squares. EVEN NUMBERS!

- Comment on A completely useful compulsion I have. 3 weeks ago:
For me I have to take them out in an even number otherwise I will have a feeling that is going to hang onto me until I rectify it ASAP.
Also they must be taken out from one specific side and not the other. The balance must be maintained!
