That's a metaphor that means the same as it does today - you sold out your values and stooped well beneath yourself. And it looks like in this case, pride and vanity were the reasons.

Oh, boo hoo. Couldn't buy a cake at the grocery or Dairy Queen if not doing it yourself is so important?

Cakes are for kids. Nice, but not necessary as an adult.

A night out at the Keg for steak and lobster, now you're talking.

It's the most accessible way to discover that Hollywood's version of Purgatory is totally wrong.

Get a good version of Divine Comedy that has lots of footnotes that explain who people were, so you get an idea of why they're where they are.

The Comics Code didn't like guns much, either.

Only bad guys used them to kill, and any killings had to be avenged, either by the law, or supernatural means. Sometimes both, in Cain's House of Mystery and comics like that. Gold Key had all kinds of genres. War comics would be kind of the exception, but I probably didn't notice the mechanics of it all at the time.

And that was put in place by Lost Generation guys who would be considered ultra-far-right-wing today ...

But Burning Man and music festivals are fine, just fine.

I wonder if the biddy bitching about wet t-shirt contests thinks it's fine for those same women to be prostitutes? Oh, money = agency?

Though it's a shame that proper dances/singles balls are long gone in favour of boozy hookup fests.

I miss the label printer that came with Tandy 286s. Easy and intuitive, especially for its time. Modern stuff is cool, but in some ways I miss my Tandy.

Meanwhile, lay the same complaint against a Muslim street preacher? Straight to jail for "intolerance", I bet.

JFC. We didn't know anything about our teachers' personal lives, for the most part, with very few superficial exceptions - has a dog, drives that car, is that kid's dad, etc.

There's absolutely no reason to share that kind of personal crap with kids.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

I'd say the same goes for "species" as well.

Hope it's moddable.

Now I can't remember why I stopped playing the first one when I had ps+. Probably platforming. That usually shuts the door right in my face.

They had no business flying such an old chopper with no fucking radar in such heavy fog. They're idiots. Might as well drop Goodall's chimps some tech, they might do better with it.

Oh, yeah. You should see what happens whenever Italy wins the World Cup. At least it's peaceful chaos.

I really miss the bakeries, though. They'd make all kinds of things, canolis, rolled pizzas, stuff I can't remember the names of.

Being considered the same species as pakijeets and muslims offends MY honour.
