Try this one.

“Altered States.”

A Harvard neuroscientist is experimenting with sensory deprivation and other hallucinogens.

I just noped out of a book called “Exquisite Corpse” by Poppy Z. Brite. It’s torture porn with necrophilia and sadism by the ton. It’s actually well written, but I just got sick of it.

First school book I ever noped out of.

I saw it as a play, and it was amazing. Never understood why English teachers have students read plays. The whole point of a play is to have it performed. It’s like trying to teach swimming in an empty pool.

Good luck

It’s called old people.

Old people will talk to strangers any time and any place.

Ask them a question and they’ll give you an answer.

Tell them you feel socially awkward and they’ll tell you what you’re doing right or wrong.

Think about it; they spend decades without devices. The only thing they ahd to amuse themselves was each other.

Go talk to some old people.

Welcome to the interwebs

Perfect 1990’s TV show.

Depends on the show and how much you like it.

I can still get a few chuckles out of “Spock’s Brain.”

The idea of a “bottle episode” came about from producers running out of money and needing to do something cheap with what they had on hand. The long seasons gave creators a chance to try new things. You got backdoor pilots like Star Trek’s “Assignment : Earth.”

Thanks, I try

You city boys make me sick!

Up here in God’s country we don’t go to no dad-blamed, fancy nancy Meijer store for our candy corn. Hell, no! We drive our trucks to the top of the Devil’s Mountain of Screaming Insanity and Painful Death; then we hike fifty seven miles through the Unholy Swamp, cross the Bridge of Savage Disembowelment into the Forbidden Plains of Lugubrious Misery, and then, and only then, after proving our strength and manly worth, do we allow our Mommies to give us the candy corn THEY got at Meijer

Do I, perchance, detect the slightest whiff of…sarcasm?

People have been buying bags of candy since mid-August for October 31.

If you want to argue the minutia of building codes of the past, I’m sure there’s a sub for that.

I don’t think that the 1960’s life style was ‘lesser’ than today’s by any means.

Check “Hell’s Angels” by Hunter Thompson. There’s a chapter where he runs down the economics of being a hippie/biker/drop out.

A biker could work six months as a Union stevedore and then go on the road for two years. A part time waitress could support herself and her musician boy freind.

There was a popular travel series. The first book was “Europe on $5.00 A Day.” Eventually, they had “Paris…” “London…” and other great vacations all for $5.00/day.

Sporting events, movies, and concerts were much cheaper.

If you wanted distraction, there were book stalls and news stands everywhere.

When I make a random observation I like to put “[off topic]” at the start.

I make the $1.00 minimum wage/$11,000.00 house argument a lot because it so clearly shows how far down we’ve gone.

A lot of people try to refute it by pointing out how much “richer” people are today.

I was confused because I thought you were trying to address the main point, not adding an aside

See?

Yes.

That’s exactly what I was saying
