You aren’t wrong but I also think people tend to forget just how much of what we grew up on were remakes and rehashes of stuff even from the radio era. Especially the cartoons that we watched as kids, so much of that was just recycled jokes and such with some jokes for the adults of the day thrown in too. Even Star Wars was an homage to the serials of the 30s-50s like Flash Gordon, which itself got an 80s remake (with an excellent soundtrack by Queen). The remakes aren’t new they are just more obvious.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she just heard somebody else say cabinet meeting and she thought it sounded cool.

That’s weird. Most of the cars I have had can open and close the windows from the fob. (Usually double press then hold unlock or lock, though one car I had [Accord] required the key in the door for the windows to go up.)

They used to conduct them close enough to Vegas that you could see them:

Currently passing through the state of chaos.

I get what you are saying but even by that criteria I would still go back to the dancing baby gif, I Will Survive alien, the Happy Hamster Dance, or like something else from that time period.

This isn’t even close to the beginning.

The word meme was coined in the 70s to describe social phenomena of the time years before fax, email, or general internet memes became the norm.

I mean… the alternative exists…

As an aside, Scripps is barely better than Sinclair.

Don’t forget about all the Maquis.

It’s a mid-2000s remake of a 70s movie called Race to Witch Mountain.

I feel like I remember a transition step. Like it was just Computer or something for one version.

Climate change has increased the chance for extreme weather and made it harder to predict when it will actually happen. Those moments happened more when the models weren’t taking into account what climate change has done.

It’s a machine. It doesn’t understand the concept of consent or anything else for that matter.

The orange cap is throwing me off. It looks like command, sciences, and muppet.

No we wouldn’t. Those treaties included things like voting members of congress that we are still fighting for over a century later.
