@PollySpin@BigJebBos And that is the part that matters. A house can be fixed over time, however long that is. New roof, new windows, blah blah blah... but hearing your neighbor's flatulence is not fixable.
@leamaric This is very common. Like shockingly common. We have friends now that we have bonded with who are having the same experience. This isn't punk rock defiance. This is years of public and college education teaching an entire generation to hate their parents.
@leamaric She also told me that my generation and every one before me are basically the final remnants of the old racists and "destroyers of the earth" and that us having children was just us being selfish. And that's immoral to have children. We don't speak anymore.
@leamaric My extremely feminist and perpetually victimized by society daughter once lectured me that the only reason I think Islam is cancer is because "Muslims have an actual culture and you don't and so you fear them." Because she read a book about a defiant muslim girl in high school.
@hahabirdpumpkin I am that SP person. I have an SP flag pinned to the ceiling in my office.
I have all of it. Side projects too, that I can find and afford.
We listened to everything, in part because of MTV. Except country. I fucking hated country music. Literally went from Metallica to the "The Metro" by Berlin to Run DMC to... whatever. It never ended.
@OsoBlanc0 If you were into Black Flag and Minor Threat, your chances of hearing them on the radio were fairly zilch. You’d most likely be tuning into what passed for an “alternative” station which surely had Bananarama in their rotation. They were tolerated. They were fine.
@PollySpin Remember when this dude said, out loud, that his girlfriend loved him because of his smile and that she didn't know he was a billionaire. HAHAHAHAHA

Today I've worked on one of the most gorgeous Autochrome plates I've seen. It was taken in colour about 116 years ago, and it depicts Suzanne Lumière - daughter of Louis Lumière who co-invented the Autochrome process. She is seated in a woodland glade, backlit with stunning depth of field, eating a bowl of cherries whilst wearing a striking red cardigan which complements the colour of the fruit beautifully. It is art, romanticism and technical brilliance rolled into one. They don't get much better than this.
It was taken using the family's early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.
