I live in NYC. Guys here have been wearing the same belt below the ass style since 1996.
If you’re in your 40s think of it this way. Remember Spice Girl mania? Even if you never picked up a CD, you’d hear them on the radio, in stores, all over the place. Whenever I hear the radio these days I hear an oldies station.
Compare fashion from 1960 with 1985, and then do the same with 2000 and 2025.
Look at fashion. There were huge changes from 1960s to 1970s to 1980s. The last wild change to clothes I can remember is pump basketball shoes. Cars used to come in dozens of wild colors; now everything is a generic neutral tone. BJork’s swan suit is the last really outrageous fashion statement I can recall [I know someone showed up naked recently, but dozens of folks have worn equally revealing outfits over the years] Almost all the new movies coming out are re-makes.
Look at James Bond. Amazon acquired the studio that owns Bond and pushed out the producers who’d helmed the character for decades. The creative process is in the hands of MBAs who only care about the bottom line. I can spend hours talking about how bad Henry Ford the man was, but I give him credit for truly loving cars and driving. I’ll bet 99% of the car executives today don’t drive themselves, so why would they care about the rest of us?
Same reason you see so many neutral colored cars these days. People used to have colorful cars because they were buying the car they’d be driving for years; now they get soemthing they know they can dump.

Pfft, AskJeeves for the win.
Have you seen “Ex Machina?”

From the movie Cherry 2000. In the movie the hero has just lost his sex robot and is trying to date human women for the first time in a while.
As a native New Yorker I’ve had the ‘pleasure’ of watching his media circus for longer than I care to remember.
They’ll have to do a lot of erasing.
Trump was talking about getting rid of NATO after going to the old Soviet Union in the 1980s.
And he took millions from the Russians.

There was a program to help disabled students become independent taxpayers. But it used the word “transitioning” and got defunded.

Cismen are ‘cunts’
So, bitchiness isn’t femininity?

I edited my original comment.
It was $10.00. My landlord is a fairly big operation with several multi-floor apartment buildings.
Another sovereign citizen
My landlord gave me the option of paying online. For an additional $10.00 fee.
edit =added the cost.
I’d like a hybrid camera. Digital and film options. Also, I think you could get people interested in developing their own pictures. Here’s a quick link to developing film photographs.

This is off the top of my head, but I could see retirees and young people being sold on a new hobby. Sell a camera with darkroom equipment.
Good luck with the project.
“Unapologetic” may be the biggest self own I’ve ever seen.
Every coach I’ve ever had or heard of demanded that the students learn to treat other people with respect.
Only infants don’t have to apologize, because they are infants, and don’t know better.
So, the fact that racists closed down public swimming pools after the Civil rights Act made segregation illegal came up in another thread. One MAGoo said that he wasn’t going to let libs make him feel guilty about things that happened before he was born.
It never occurred to him to get mad at the racists for closing down the pools for everybody.
