Maybe. Given the amount of times I've seen the same people share the same type of post (or other more nostalgia driven ones), it seems like they're thinking about it all the time.

Chicken and egg thing, maybe? The algorithm steers with such frequency that nostalgia has become a collective thought.

Generally, I don’t think people are actively thinking about stuff like that, and hearing the age of cultural milestones from the era can be a somewhat shocking reminder.

This.

Ugh one of the lamest feelings when this happens.

We used to be so cool, what happened?

At this point I'm fully embracing nostalgia as my brand. Today sucks. We have to go back.

We’re well aware that you’re MAGA, Burt.

God yes.

This just keeps getting worse.

OMG

People who aren't in control of their dog are the worst people. Watched a dog drag his owner to another person walking their dog last night and attack it viciously. Not sure why people have such violent pets and I certainly did ask him what he needed a dog like that for.

I used to have to run with "dog-friendly" mase because so many people let their dogs off-leash in the park behind my house. I never used it, but I'm sure I would have been the villain for spraying a dog.

His response?

Mrs. Bam got attacked and bitten by a dog here in the neighborhood a couple years ago. She still has a scar.

I love dogs, but I hope that one was destroyed. An adult can take a bite, but if that's a toddler it's game over.

Failure by the owners to properly socialize. I've had multiple pitbull crosses who were absolute sweethearts and great with kids. Shitty owners, no excuses.

of course mase is dog friendly but he is also diddy friendly too so be careful

my dog doesn't really drag me (he is only 21lbs) but he will max out his leash and then begin jumping on his hind legs towards 90% of the people we see on our walks. he is so happy to see other people and the dogs.

On my drive home there is a bridge I can cross (or go straight).

The first light is at the bus icon towards the bottom right. this light is timed a little bit longer than a normal light so a lot of traffic can get through. the second light is at the cross walk towards the upper left corner. this is a standard light. the left light turn is not that long. maybe 13 cars can get through until it turns red again

three lanes to leading to the bridge. left lane is to turn to go on the bridge and the other two lanes are to go straight. there is always someone who holds up traffic so they can force their way into the left lane from the middle lane. someone is always nice and lets them in which infuriates me to no end. they are in the middle or the right lane and try to cut over to make their trip home quicker.

when people do this to me i immediately cut them off much to their chagrin

My question is why does he jump at all? I know I am going to be in a minority here but I think everyone should train their dogs not to jump. Not everyone wants to be jump on. My dogs never jumped or imposed on people and therefore everyone liked them and felt comfortable around them.

People with dogs off leash anywhere that is not off leash are the worst of the dog owners.
