Not with that attitude you ain’t
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 1 day ago:
I lived through all that too except for very early Sunday mornings our local station would show Felix the Cat and Popeye cartoons followed by Davey and Goliath. I think they got away with t because it was before church started and Davey was somewhat religious

Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?
21: had to wait for the television to warm up

You are gullible

Yes. Full time fast food worker wages
- Comment on You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW 5 days ago:
Do people on Lemmy think that there was a time when one could afford a house on fast food worker wages?
- Comment on Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio 5 days ago:
I never had this option. Typing in the whole thing manually from 4 pages of tiny print in BYTE magazine was my go to. Always had to be quick to save progress on cassette whenever mom came near with the vacuum cleaner

If I knew how I’d already have a cult of my own. I hear being charismatic is a prerequisite

From Google AI:
Never Feed After Midnight: If a Mogwai is fed after midnight, it will undergo a transformation into a Gremlin, a mischievous and destructive creature.
- Comment on People Are Using AI to Create Influencers With Down Syndrome Who Sell Nudes 2 weeks ago:
Gremlins? IDK. Down Syndrome? Definitely.
- Comment on People Are Using AI to Create Influencers With Down Syndrome Who Sell Nudes 2 weeks ago:
Give a person with down syndrome alcohol? I’d rather feed a Gremlin after midnight

Yes they did get criticism for it but I can’t say if the change came about because of it. I did read that they got rid of Ronald during that short time that there were news reports of people dressing up as clowns and freaking people out.
Yeah you’re right about the colors of things. In the 90’s there was a big deal made about cars painted green again

Like a lot of things I’ll bet it was an insurance liability plus a lot of labor to keep it clean and safe. McDonald’s is struggling to survive in a business where new=exciting and what your parents grew up with=lame. Burger Kings are closing left and right where I live. They’ve done nothing to adapt.
Funny thing about that conference room. I have an uncle who has quite a bit of money. He eats off of the McDonald’s dollar menu (or at least he did when it was still a thing). He’ll take us somewhere nice when visiting, he’s quite generous but he always makes a point to mention he eats at McDonald’s. He gives financial advice, i can see him holding meetings there
- Comment on This speaks for itself 4 weeks ago:
They’re marketing towards adults now
- Comment on This speaks for itself 4 weeks ago:
McDonald’s is now trying to appeal to adults and the building reflects that. They did away with Ronald and all the characters long ago. No more indoor playgrounds. No more cartoon movie toys. I think they still have happy meals but we’re better known for their dollar menu now called a McValue menu
- Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait? 4 weeks ago:
I’m curious, have your interactions with Americans been with those that have traveled to Europe? The reason I ask is because I was able to visit years ago and wondered if maybe European’s view of Americans is skewed because they mostly see those of us that come from well off backgrounds (upper income). I met young Americans that had been there multiple times because their parents paid their way while they were on summer break from school. In contrast, I was the exact opposite. You’re not likely to see many low income folks visiting so you may have a skewed viewpoint.

This just in… Sunlight causes cancer! Exactly why I have this big scab on my cheeks. Get screened folks, especially if it runs in your family

Maybe if we weren’t weird about sex, folks wouldn’t need to fuck a balloon.
- Comment on Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East. 1 month ago:
When picture God what skin color do you see? What gender do you see?
- Comment on Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today? 1 month ago:
I don’t doubt you’re right nobody cares about the lowly pigeon, in fact some cities encourage nesting of raptors to keep their population in check. I do doubt any protected birds are allowed to be kept. Hawks are very common where I live, seeing a red tail or cooper’s hawk is a daily occurance where I live so I assume the regulations are for humane treatment rather than preservation. My friend and his son came across a dead bald eagle while hiking and they kept it as they had a large skull collection. I looked it up and as you said it’s against the law with very steep penalties so I advised him to make sure his son kept his mouth shut in school.
- Comment on Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today? 1 month ago:
There’s a homing pigeon club not far from where I live.

They peaked with Jaws 3D. No other credits since. I wonder what Kit has been up to?
