Booze.

Makes me so happy that that’s still going.

This was my first thought. Honourable mentions to golf and darts.

Can’t remember if it’s in the movie too, but in the book, the speed starts to make him paranoid that he’s doing too well and might get the job 😁

Yay! 😁

Not sure if you’re a fan of the Redlettermedia guys, but they did three videos reviewing every Carpenter movie - might be interesting :-)

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Ha ha, wow, someone at the Simpsons is an MST3K fan, I think.

A fairly disastrous set of outcomes described in the comments so far.

Thank goodness though, that you didn’t ask about there being no springs.

Are we including electromagnets? If so, an awful lot of motors would suddenly just not work anymore.

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten people used to do that - not seen that in ages.

Edinburgh, Scotland - we had quite a lot of T/Ters (or guisers, as it’s often better known here, among older generations anyway). Maybe 10-15 groups. A lot of families round our way and we usually have a fairly busy night, so no change from normal :-)

To be honest, after some initial difficulty in grasping the concept of federation (which I certainly don’t claim to fully understand even now) this place feels just as easy to use as Reddit.

I think that’s partly because I almost exclusively used Reddit via the Sync app, and I now use Lemmy almost exclusively through Sync as well. The experience is basically the same, except that it’s a bit quieter, but as someone else alluded to, that’s maybe no bad thing as it means I spend less time here. Instead I just dip in and out, and that’s fine.

Oh, I’m so sorry, this is Abuse.

Meh, you won’t know what you forgot.

Yeah but you might know that you forgot, and that you used to know.

Imagine one day looking at your kid and having no idea what their name is. You know you should know, you know you used to know, but now it’s gone.

That, but with everything important in your life. Scares the shit out of me!

John Cazale - every film he was in was Oscar nominated for Best Picture, so you’d imagine this extra one would have a shot at being good too.

Here’s a few - looking forward to discovering more from this thread!

Mory Kanté’s Yeke Yeke, especially the Hardfloor and Afro Acid remixes.

Gaspar Nali’s A Bale Ndikuwuzeni

Afro-Cuban Allstars - Amor Verdadero

Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

Leftfield - Afro Left

Eugène Mona - Lizo (Kiko Navarro Afroterraneo Mix)

Certain members of those groups. Not those groups in toto. Most people, of whatever generation, ever really have meaningful power.

Pedantry, but the song is called Killing in the Name. There’s no “of” in the title.

Genx are the same as boomers ideologically

That’s an incredibly simplistic take, to put it nicely.

First, not all Boomers have the same ideology as each other.

Second, not all Gen X have the same ideology as each other either.

So, please explain how GenX are the same as boomers?

Oh, was it Arnie himself? That’s cool, didn’t know that.
