> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > U.S. President Donald Trump. This alone makes me want to return to the ‘Seventies despite the brown-orange-yellow color palette, the sticky reside and persistent stink of cigarettes everywhere, only three channels of dreck and UHF reruns of old sitcoms and _The Twilight Zone_, chickenpox epidemics and yearly influenza outbreaks that would result in school closures, Pong, some of the worst Bond movies of the franchise, and even the shitty American cars and 8-track cassettes. If we could just eliminate tetraethyl lead in gasoline and persistent stagflation, and I can take my MacBook Pro with Python and Objective-C compliers loaded on it, I’d be all for the rollback to ‘Tricky’ Dick Nixon and the last vestiges of good rock music. > [@Lucas\_Jackson](#): > > Like and subscribe I think it should be legal to get a free punch at anyone who says this, or who breaks into the middle of an interview video with a pitch for how you need to join their Patreon. Which, BTW, no Patreon, GoFundMe, reddit, 4chan, et cetera. In the ‘Seventies you had to beg for money and look for porn and racism in person, mostly at the corner convenience store. Stranger ---

“My car just hit 100,000 miles, and I figure it’ll be good for another 50 to 100 thousand.” (Probably not something that _literally_ no one said, but except for a few car owners who were both compulsive about car maintenance, and lucky, a car making it to 150K or 200K was extremely unusual, particularly for U.S. brands, which were usually pretty well shot by 100K.)
