Oops on the link. It was about something I remember from 25 years ago the name of which was repurposed to something now and how the people 20 years younger than me (and the poster) keep saying the old information is stupid/useless because it's about stuff only dead people care about.
I'm not sure how they got from "I wasn't alive back then." to "Everyone who was alive then is dead now." It astonishes me, frankly.
Tangential on the topic of dead people: When people talk about how sad it was that Dumbledore died, I point out that he could have met Abraham Lincoln. When you realize more than half the world could not have met Kennedy before he was killed in office, it's hard to be sad about Dumbledore. Seems like he had more than his share of time, actually.
And yes I was amused by the one line that got all the attention. But whatever works. It got you to comment and someone to reply, like an actual conversation... meaning I'm not here talking to myself.
I don't like it when people say "more than a handful is too much!" because it makes a lot of people feel bad about something they cannot control. I also have really tiny hands. I get that the opposing viewpoint gets a lot of attention, the one where larger boobage makes for easier erogenous zones and revs up the male brain before anything even gets started, so we shouldn't harp on that lest the small breasted women feel inadequate.
