That wasn't on purpose, that's literally all that was available on the 80s. When I picked my first set, there were only 3 options...those, the black framed nerd glasses with the white band in the middle at a time when Revenge Of The Nerds was a recent movie, or the giant rose colored plastic framed women's glasses. I didn't want to looked like a serial killer, but it was better than the alternatives.
Seriously, the glasses options were rough. My mom had the big plastic ones and my dad had some similar to these. I got my first pair in '91 and they had marginally better choices for kids, but not much. It was hard out there for a long time.
There were definitely a lot of kids ones in the early 90s that were basically the glasses in the OP but in an assortment of colors. My first pair was a purple and white speckled version of the 80s “serial killer” glasses.
I cannot confirm or deny whether your father was a serial killer, all I can say is that he probably just didn't want to look like a nerd or Elton John.
I was just looking at a photo of the time yesterday. In it were around 15 people. Of those 15:
≈8 were wearing prescription aviators
≈4 were wearing aviator sunglasses
≈3 weren’t wearing any glasses
0 were wearing a different style of glasses
Side note: the person who showed me the photo was the only one in it still alive. He was ≈35 when it was taken. Probably the youngest by far of the group.
I know, right? I ran across that on Hacker News one day and it’s changed my world. When I’m bored, I just hit that “Surprise Me” link and usually get some great shit.
Wilby introduced me to nonograms.org which has also changed my life.
How interesting… I swear I learn the most from the comments on my shitposts. Someone recommended a Studio Ghibli film the other day (Whisper of the Heart), another poster brought up some good songs, now you with this cool-ass shit. It’s a good week.
Ah, Zombocom. Good times were had at Zombocom. Great times, in fact. I met my wife on Zombocom. I even found my job through Zombocom. Hell, Zombocom found me my house.
Come to think of it, there isn’t a thing I have I don’t owe to Zombocom. Zombocom taught me a lot, too. I learned how to sew thanks to Zombocom. How to white water raft. How to program assembly. How to build a tent, light a fire. Zombocom taught me how to cook a meal, taught me Spanish, how to walk, taught me the waltz, and how to talk. Hey now… Zombocom taught me blacksmithing, and how to brush my teeth and make my bed.
That site lead me to a Pennsylvania coal region website with some old recipes and I love it. You can tell how old the recipes are when some (the bread recipes) say you should store your dough by a warm, dry place like a coal stove or how they require a large amount of ingredients but make multiple loaves of bread.
Kinda doubt Bill Murray would be on board with such a cheap stunt. Pretty sure he's moved on to cheaper, less prestigious, worse paying stunts by this point in his illustrious career. (I kid, kinda.)
Besides, Harold Ramis is dead and Michael Shannon is kind of a big deal, now.
The flag you use in your profile picture has been used by that ideology many times. Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso or the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua spring to mind.
Do you mean the red/black in the profile picture? Lol that’s supposed to be an anarchist symbol. I can’t control what authoritarians do with an anarchist symbol 🤷♂️
I mean like… am I supposed to create a new symbol every time someone steals it?
Edit: Also: wtf? I googled the country and they use Red/Green. I can’t find a source saying they used Red/Black
It’s the ancom flag and has been used to represent the hand in hand coalition of anarchist and communist forces many many times. You’d enjoy learning about the Sandinistas in Nicaragua they had a cool thing going on, got fucked by the americans though. The CNT also used it in revolutionary Spain which was again the coalition of ML and anarchists.
None of these are “stealing it”. They are anarchists and communists working together.
Anarcho-Communists are supposed to be different from Marxist-Leninists. If there were 2 factions of these ideologies that formed a coalition, then they are no “Anarcho-Communists”, just MLs cosplaying as AnComs.
I mean… how can someone call themselves an Anarcho-Communist and support a dictatorship? That’s some crazy doublethink right there.
Can you give me an example of the ancom flag being raised by revolutionaries that hasn’t involved a coalition between anarchists and communists? I don’t think there’s a single instance of it historically but I’d be really interested in seeing an example if one exists.
When the group is only made up of anarchists, the black flag is raised. The entire symbolic point of the red and black flag is the coalition of the two.
Calling the Spanish revolutionaries “MLs cosplaying as ancoms” is absurd historical revisionism, and really honestly offensive to everyone that fought and lost to the fascists.
That’s because he’s wearing an American flag and as a nation founded under God like it says in the pledge of allegiance and on our money, and you godless atheists are sickened by the true meaning of our nation. /s
My favorite part about that nonsense is that until 1954-55 God didn’t appear either in the pledge of allegiance or on our money. You can bet your bottom dollar if you took that line out of the pledge though conservatives would have a fit over “Woke revisionism” even though it itself is a revision.
And in what world is that? Everyone needs chairs, houses(of some sort), tools, utensils … ect. I can’t imagine a world or a time period where people who made the stuff everyone else needs didn’t just survive but thrive.
Except he wasn’t a “carpenter” in the sense that we think of it. He wasn’t a woodworker building tall tables and chairs. The translation would be more accurate as “builder” or “construction worker”. Would still be in good shape, but nothing out of the ordinary.
You know construction workers are jacked compared to desk workers right? Like if you take a random construction worker and a random office worker, neither of which lift, the construction worker is going to tend towards both more mass overall (as it helps prevent injuries) and more muscle mass (because working out as your work tends to do a lot for your body)
Only to get started. The more pee you drink, the more you have to pee, so you’ll get up to volume relatively quickly so long as you buckle down and chug that pee.
I mean it probably tastes like eating out an unwashed diabetic gamer girl, but I’ve probably also had worse. I’ll give it a shot and report back in a couple of days.
