Being able to play sports (baseball/football) with neighborhood kids. No organizations like today. No parents interfering. No one drove you to the field, you walked there. Everyone got along and there were no overweight kids because everyday you got plenty of outside exercise.

This is sort of like are you thinking with your brain or your cock. There’s usually a bad outcome when your penis over rules your sober brain.

Lemmy Shit Post is the best for just a laugh and with little political nonsense

This happens on Lemmy because we don’t have a “flair” method. On reddit you can set up a group for “gun owers” as an example. To post or comment to that group on reddit you have to message the mods and request flair. Your request has to have links to posts or comments that you have made proving that you are a gun owner.

But on lemmy you can set up a “gun owers” group and constantly have people who hate guns posting and commenting. Your only alternative is to remove their posts or comments or ban them.

The advantages of Lemmy are 1) being able to see a modlog and know why your comment or post was removed. 2) Lemmy mods rarely permanently ban people which I believe is a vast improvement over reddit.

Still don’t understand how people continue to “trust” the people who have a long history of predictions that never occurred. It always reminds me of a guy who pays to get “the special picks” for an NFL game. And for years the special picks guy hasn’t ever won a NFL bet

I wouldn’t worry about that. 20 years ago it was predicted by the “experts” that Miami would be under water a decade ago. Nothing has changed.

I do the same thing

So we might actually land some people on Mars before you die

Even though you have a long way to go do you ever think about something that is predicted in the future but figure you will be dead by then

Parties in general are like that for me. And then there are those special days like New Year’s Eve and St. Patricks Day when the police are more focused than ususal on possible drunk driving

Went to a neighborhood party. No driving needed. Home by 10 and out cold by 10:30

BS. But I’ve found that a person’s educational level doesn’t always translate into competency depending on the job. If I could do it all over again I would have gone to school to become an electrian.

In my frequent visits to Hawaii in the winter months they are 5 hours behind EST. So NFL games would start at 8AM

Yes but they were on our side. The Soviets took huge losses to defeat the Nazi’s. The US/UK would never have beaten them if the Soviets were defeated. I’m not praising the Soviets or their government. It’s just the facts about how WW2 would have played out if they had been defeated and if hitler wasn’t such a moron germany could have beaten them

The craziest thing during that period were people who gave aid to the Soviets from 1941 - 1945. They were then called out as communists completely missing the poing that the Soviets were on OUR side to defeat the Nazi’s.

Mine is the same year.

I don’t know if it’s genetic or just the way that you are raised. I was simply raised to never get too emotional. And crying was never allowed. I still remember my father saying, “stop crying like a girl.” As an adult the only times that I have actually cried were over the deaths of dogs that I had. Even when very close family members died I never shed a tear.

Simple, stupid, and reliable
