russbengtson.bsky.social•25 days ago

oh 100 percent, personally I'd be like "I'll get all the vaccines twice if you promise to stop talking!"

"ok how many more shots before you learn the binary language of shut the fuck up"

Were we? We keep acting like we’re a grown up, mature country, yet from most of the world’s perspective we’re barely potty trained. We’re precocious, but we’re also a wobbling chaos engine that’s still learning how our sphincters work.

Muting now that Im getting replies that don't know what jokes are

ericafails.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is only like 10% joking

I love this stupid poster

My first introduction to these characters was the anti-smoking psa. I only later when I became aware of Star Wars.

My dad had the three movies illegally taped, like much of our vhs collection

ericafails.bsky.social•25 days ago

(meaning that I got to see it starting at a young age because it was around)

scottsrobots.bsky.social•25 days ago

Had so many taped movies... with commercials

ericafails.bsky.social•25 days ago

I think these must have been a 2 vhs taping off the other scenario because we never had commercials

scottsrobots.bsky.social•25 days ago

For some movies my parents would pause and unpause recording manually for commercials.

For Big, I didn't know there was a sex scene until I was an adult because my mom pause-cut it out.

I'm gonna need a copy of it to hang next to this specimen on my wall.

longtalljodie.com•25 days ago

I would hang this in my bathroom.

bring back 1) universal vaccination as a generally agreed upon goal and 2) that typeface

ericafails.bsky.social•25 days ago

The 70s had excellent fonts

ericafails.bsky.social•25 days ago

I am building a hoard of 70s clothing patterns so I have have the clothes but without the polyester

sifu.tweety.fish•25 days ago

I was looking at a site earlier with extremely compelling retro-'70s clothing designs but unfortunately also extremely non-compelling retro-'70s ideas about how much polyester is the right amount of polyester

philippos42.bsky.social•25 days ago

The correct amount is none. Didn't we settle this by 1990?

bearsuitattack.bsky.social•25 days ago

We sure did, while wearing our Jncos with 40 inch legs!

This poster used to be in my kid's pediatrician's waiting room, but now it's in one of their many Star Wars-themed examination rooms.

45 years of Republicanism have nearly wrecked this nation. It's now reeling towards destruction. The planet's greatest republic suffering a needless, ignorant death

strictlyworse.bsky.social•25 days ago

I loved the READ propaganda posters

everyone’s favorite non-binary gender fluid couple in their prime

callgespenst.bsky.social•24 days ago

Gender fluid, sure. Non-binary? One of them -only- speaks Binary!

jamesmcdphotos.bsky.social•25 days ago

We still are. This isn't the first dark period in American history and likely won't be the last. We are made up of flawed people who are easily scared into submission

chatsubo657.bsky.social•25 days ago

I stuck that poster up on my desk when I was working on a UK NHS campaign to combat lies about the MMR vaccine back in 2012.
Depressing but necessary we have to do it again.

banthasurprise.bsky.social•24 days ago

Picked up 2 of these at Celebration 2015, one of my favorite weird pieces of memorabilia.
