I bought this game on layaway at the local small department store and rode my bike a few miles every week from my house to the store to make the payments for it. That story makes me feel 100 years old.

I’ve been given many gifts, the gift of hustle was not one, I really don’t care about making money if my needs are met. Capitalism has been highly ineffective on me.

Yeah kids clothes are somehow even worse, although I had to wear a catholic school uniform so plain was absolutely mandatory lol. But yeah, there's really a pretty desolate area, sometimes it feels like they aren't even designing men's clothes anymore, I mean I know there's a lot going on in the world of fashion all the time but that doesn't seem to trickle down at all anymore, or maybe I'm just wildly out of touch which wouldn't surprise me. There haven't been any wild new innovations or trends besides dressing down in general. Note I'm not a huge fan of suits either so I'm not complaining about those going, but nothing replaced them really.
Right, if I want anything with a lot of color I pretty much have to order from Asian brands, I used to like Uniqlo for that but they've since succumbed to the drab and their options are not so great either anymore.
I always admired the people who stuck with the same style or subculture they identified with since they were teenagers, especially the more physically dramatic ones like goth or punk, they found something they loved and made a choice. I miss my giant phat raver diy stovepipe pants sometimes and now I see they are coming back in style haha, but again mostly for women and only men/boys under 20. There is nothing stopping anyone of course.

My dreams of a hippie raver commune grow more alluring every day.

Haha yeah true enough, at least outside of LA or New York, but still there were a shit ton of smaller copycat bands trying to make it, if you watch the documentary Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: The Metal Years you can see a bunch of them, point being it was a look that was popular with girls at the time since all these dudes wanted to be in bands mostly just to get with a lot of women.
Yeah I'm not sure about him either, kind of a strange meme all around haha.

Did you miss the whole hair metal thing? All of those guys wore loads of makeup and those bands were massively popular for a while. They were literally drowning in it.

Oh yeah, what the hell, who doesn't like delicious fruit drinks that get you super wasted? (Besides sober people of course)
- Comment on Get over yourself 3 months ago:
Men we've been scammed, go to the store and look at the completely bland men's clothing options and then go to the women's section and look at all the fun they have with all the different colors and styles, it's really a tragedy.

- Comment on Amazon cloud platform and other websites experiencing outages 4 months ago:
I've never actually worked in tech, but I was a super early adopter spending a lot of times on BBSs and then usenet, IRC, telnet chats, designing web pages and doing graphics, flyers, icons, emojis and stuff for people I met online, and I've met a lot of super cool people for sure but it's all been virtual for the most part. It was so much fun in those earlier days when everyone was doing their own thing.

This is simply not enough data for me, I'm holding out for the device that analyzes the content of my poo with mass spectrometry so I can really tell what's going on. /s

Ah somehow I thought we had passed that time, granted its been probably 40 years since I've seen the cartoon. I don't think I'll make it another 37 years lol.
