Hi, there!

💆

I was born in 1989, so I am an ancient grandpa and demand respect for my lawn. (/s ya right like I own a house)

(P.s. I am not a sexy hairy ripped daddy bear, but I do own a cat named Tammy 🐈‍⬛)

  • The post I’m replying to was acting as if they had some new wisdom from being polyamorous and their perspective on marriage. But it sounds like they’re just using it as a business move which is something a lot of non polyamorous people do as well, and nothing new. I wasn’t asking what reasons could possibly exist to get married outside of romance or whatever you’re talking about, I was asking SPECIFICALLY THEM why they bothered, with their “unique” perspective on relationships. But it seems the only actual reason they have is taxes, despite their diatribe.





  • Has anyone here noticed how it’s almost impossible to watch a TikTok on mobile if you don’t have an account or the app? My friend sends me links and I click it but the website opens playing it muted and it only plays the TikTok one time, no repeating. Then it prompts me to install the app. If I say I don’t want to the unmute button disappears and I’m unable to play the TikTok again with sound. The only way to do it is to refresh which just prompts me to download the app again after being played the TikTok one time with no sound. Aggravating as all hell.



  • I’d be pretty surprised if the Archie writers did that. I’ve been reading every Archie comic from the first printing, and they are pretty grounded in reality. Real musician names, real films, real actors, real fashion designers, etc. The panel this comic is from is only the 3rd time they’ve written a story dedicated to the “hop patch” dances between 1940 and 1950 (and that’s including all 4 comics series and the 3 yearly publications being released at the time featuring Archie). That’s a pretty long window with multiple artists and writers, who would have to remember the same parody of sadie hawkins. I’m more inclined to lean towards “wikipedia doesn’t know everything” than the Archie writers invented it. I do have a 90 year old grandpa still surviving, maybe I’ll reach out.

    Edit: another example of the internet being ignorant, there is no record on the internet (that I can find) of the specific style of public washing machines that were depicted in the 1940s version of a coin-op laundromat within the comics. So either the Archie artists went to the trouble of inventing a never before seen style of a brand new technology in the era, or the internet simply has blind spots in our history.
