The Duffner Brothers are my age which confirms my suspicions that Stranger Things isn’t nostalgia for the 80’s, but 80’s movies they watched in the 90’s. It’s like saying your story is influenced by Goodfellas when you never saw it, you just watched the Animaniacs pigeon cartoon

Agreed. The Duffer brothers (born in 1984) don’t really remember the 1980s, and it shows.

If you ever see me groveling like that, you won’t need to come by and shoot me because I’ll already be dead by my own hand. But just in case I fuck it up, do please drop by and put me out of my misery.
What a pathetic display.
imo the truly degenerate or oppressive society isn't the one that has either exorbitant sex or sexual repression, but rather one that says "you don't know what will make you happy, *I* know what's truly good for you"

I very much agree with Aella here. I am just as opposed to the liberal authoritarians as I am the conservative ones. There are many on both sides, all attempting to make me do things “for my own good.”
To anything like this, I have an extreme aversion.

I wish our president and 95% of our politicians weren’t 900 years old. Much more would be done about climate change if the president was Sanna Marin’s age (she’s 36).
Nobody over 70 should be elected or even eligible for any national office.
I do not regret for 1 second ensuring my kids normalcy in 2020. We allowed them to see friends in April 2020, go on vacation, and work out at the gym. They needed it for their mental/physical health. I think it was selfish for the adults to ask the kids to sacrifice for them.

It was very odd. I have an acquaintance with a high-school-age daughter, and the daughter lost 80% of her high school experiences and events due to needless Covid restrictions (she was a dancer and volleyball player). She’s permanently scarred from it, according to her mom, and inconsolable with rage about it.
And we did this to millions and millions of kids. We are insane.
For every crisis, there is one Feigl-Ding — a guy who is very good at aggregating up-to-the-minute information, but very bad at adding interpretations and opinions to that information.

There is. The Covidians love that dude.
‘It’s Scary’: Students Fear Going to College in Red States After Roe.
As they should. There will be a huge outflow of people from red states in the next few years — and it’ll mostly be the smartest people, too. Red states are so fucked.
