People Are Sharing Normal ‘90s And ‘00s Things That Weirdly No Longer Exist

Once upon a time if a president was facing impeachment and possible criminal charges, they resigned in shame.

@William Teach - what you're trying to do is called "whataboutism" and it's a manipulation technique widely used by Stalin and the Bolsheviks.

Too soon…but so fvcking true

It applies for puppets too

Always Trump bashing as usual. Move on.

What I’ve never understood is why it’s ok for girls to like ‘boys’ things like sports (which is ridiculous to assume it’s a boys thing) trucks, climbing etc but it’s not ok for boys to like ‘girls’ things

today is a girl like traditional male things, they pressure them (including in many schools) that they really are a boy, and began some sort of non-medical transitioning already. Same with a boy who liked traditional female things. Let kids be kids

Often the browsing turned out to be more entertaining than the movie you ended up choosing.

I miss this

Probably the one childhood experience that I wish I could give my kids. Sure, we can check out DVDs from the library, but it doesn't have the same vibe.

I miss Blockbuster! Plus browsing music and books at Barnes & Noble

only an hour?

Being given thoughts by social media and failing to do your own research

True.. though it USED to be that most everyone agreed on the major issues. A Republican, though someone you disagreed with, was someone who gave you another viewpoint to make you critically assess an issue to come to an agreement.

Politics has always been a quagmire of contentiousness and ridiculousness. We're just more aware of it now that news comes at us 24/7 365.

I believe both sides have their pros and cons. I don't understand why we can't settle our differences peacefully in this modern world without starting a war. Let's face it: We're all stuck on this planet, so we might as well get along and stop hating people who aren't in your political party. It pays off to see things from different perspectives, even if that means realizing that your perspective could be wrong. I would appreciate it if BP would stop putting politically biased posts here.

Superman took off his clothes in a phone both and was called the Man of Steel. I do the same thing and have to register as a s*x offender.

I miss the Yellow Pages. This kind of info isn't centralized online and what you do find is often incomplete or incorrect.

I cringe now thinking about all the public phones I've used.

I remember walking for miles searching for one that hadn't been vandalised and there was no hope of finding one with phone books.

I alwats thought "Big Brother" might become a reality. I NEVER thought we would be willing participants with our own devices.

Funny, because Judas Priest did a song called Electric Eye about this. In 1982.

I told my kids about this and they just laughed.

I used to be good at remembering everyone's phone numbers when we all had landlines but now we all have cellphones I can't even remember my own number.

You had to type it in so you would naturally memorize it. I didn't sit in my room practicing phone number memorization.

I still remember my ICQ-Number xD

Pretty sure rotary phones were not normal 30 years ago.

This belief being treated as valid is a big part of the underlying problem of the country being so hopelessly divided. It's not that presidents or anyone in government aren't called out....it's the fact that the only ones calling them out are those on the opposite side....and the only people hearing it are those firmly rooted within that particular echo chamber. Why is it like this? Because if anyone should actually call out anyone within their own party.....they're immediately labeled the enemy, they're overreacting, or they're racist/sexist/phobic. Whatever label they can get to stick so that person and that topic can be safely ignored and easily dismissed. Everyone is so aggressively eager to point out the bias of the other side...but somehow never can even entertain the possibility that they just might be as equally, and shameless biased as those they seek to silence.

You forgot Richard Nixon back in the 1070s.

I think it all started to turn to $hit when the internet started making it too easy to spread the stupid. Prior to that the stupid was generally contained to that person's small social circle.

I feel like life really did go downhill after 9/11 for everyone. They got us and we were broken, and we can’t seem to get fixed.

FOFO..... did america learn something about bombing others after this?

Every two hours. You can set your clock.

Normal things when you age, yawn.

Yes!Yes!Yes!

Now you have to go searching for a kid to throw a rock at! /jk
