I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

Some people won't say "dead" "killed" or "murdered' or just about anything to do with death. They just say "unalived".

But the result is the same.

But the result is the same.

Yep.

I'm so old I remember when peanut butter was a surplus supplied to schools for school lunches. No one had heard of peanut allergies back then and now there must be warning signs alerting folks that peanut oil or other nut products are used just in case and rightfully so.

Hence why we have this:
PEANUT BUTTER


CONTAINS PEANUTS

And this masterpiece from @BigBlueHen53 :

It's probably required by law.

Hear ye, hear ye! All citizens let it be known! Henceforth and heretofore, it shall be decreed and shall be known by these presents, that any product containing peanuts shall herewith be required to carry a written warning, to wit, to state clearly that it doth, in fact, indeed and of a surety, CONTAINETH PEANUTS, in order that anyone puchasing or contemplating the purchase of, said product shall know that it doth indeed contain the nefarious and potentially deadly allergen commonly known as and referred to as: PEANUTS.

The wussification is real.

 

[notabitail]

The wussification is real.

Yep.

Things like tiktok and the likes will actively not show content containing uncensored guns, or just about any non-wussified word related to death. As a result people are getting trained to be wusses with those words thanks to their digital enchantments.

"Unalived" is so you can respond to a post or video without having your thought-out reply disappear or your video demonitized. We're becoming well trained and have apparently learned nothing from the "2 weeks to stop the spread."

I'm so old I remember when a 40hp outboard motor for a ski boat was a lot of power. My dad had a 6hp Wizard from Western Auto. It pushed a 14' wooden fishing boat that were rented at fish camps on FL lakes. No flotation in those boats either. They took me out in those boats by the time I was 6 months old. My mom could not swim and their were no life jackets or flotation devices of any kind in those boats. One one outing as a teen I went out with my dad and a fishing buddy and they both took their outboards and put both on the back of one of those heavy wooden boats and what a difference it made. Those were the good old days when you didn't stop fishing until it got to dark to bait a hoop and came 5 miles across the lake by the stars and moon. No compass just the knowledge of what the shoreline looked like at tree top level. From those days to now 20+ feet in length bass boats that have often more than 200hp engines on the back ends. Then those offshore rigs with up to 4 200hp and larger engines on the backs where it's gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon....

I remember when I bought my first computer. An Apple IIC. Got the extra external floppy drive. Then a copy of Applesoft Basic. Taught myself to write source code to calculate stock trades returning a profit or loss figure based on shares sold price and purchase price and # of shares. That was nothing compared to what an entry level computer can do now. Wish I had a closet full of history making Trash 80s. My biggest historical regret is when I oldest son bought an early generation of an Apple Mac that I didn't pay attention then.
