Roaman

Were kids in 80s actually allowed to roam around unsupervised, or is that just in movies?

It’s terribly sad that Gen Z folks post this same question on Reddit every few days. The world that was seems to them some impossible phantasmagoric dream.

But yes, almost all kids roamed wherever they liked in the 1980s after the age of 9-10. Not just those with “bad” parents. In fact, the “bad” parents back then were ones who didn’t let their kids outside much. Then that would’ve been considered at least near-abuse.

Deny it as many people do, but the fact is the world has changed immensely since that time. It feels very foreign now even to me and I lived it.

Start End

Agreed. He was more lenient than I would’ve been after October 7, but he got the job done.

One of the reasons the Western left is in shambles now is they were terrorist supporters (of Hamas and Hezbollah) and those organizations are essentially dead and gone. Good fucking work. And I believe every dude in the photo with Shani Louk in the back of the truck is now deceased. Good riddance but no great loss to the world.

It took me a while to realize that nearly all those crying about “genocide” in Gaza are just Jew-haters pretending that helping vile terrorists is now their raison d’รชtre, but alas it is true.

Funny, starting wars and then screaming “genocide” when the natural result of a war you began comes down on your head.

Legal Hate

Whatever your politics or the politics of the original poster, an objective fucking fact is that no one despises illegal immigrants more than those who got here the hard way by following the law. Trust me on this: no one.

Another thing clownish liberals are completely delusional about.

AI Music

This is an AI song. It’s easy to recognize.

It’s completely predictable. Nothing unexpected ever happens. It’s so static that it might as well be a hunk of diorite buried under 100 meters of sediment. That said, it’s not a bad song. It’s just completely mediocre in every way possible.

Compare and contrast it with the song in the video below. That has life. It’s dynamic. It’s intentional in a way that AI music can never be.
