A PSA for Rivian Complainers

I grew up in the 80s and it was pretty stupid

You’ve got to follow up with more than that, man. WHERE’S THE BEEF?

They definitely had a good run. I thought Joy Division and Men at Work were carrying most of the weight, but we can agree to disagree on that

It was kind of easy to think of A-ha as only having a couple of popular songs because their other stuff didn't get much airplay here in the states. But, they had some really great music other than Take On me , The Sun Always Shines on TV and the Bond theme The Living Daylights.

That's a pretty strong case given that you didn't even feel the need to list most of the good bands.

By all means.... post away with "the good bands"....

And the best for last.... the full 1980's experience in just one movie!!

Ok, here are just a few examples. I could go on for hours.

As a former 5th grade teacher I feel this SO deeply in my bones...

So are you saying that most of us will think the dual motor is bigger, and better, and cheaper, and cancel our quad motors with pre-price hike pricing to pay more for dual motors and think we got a deal?? Cost that’s exactly what I’m thinking to do!!

Grew up and graduated early 80’s in So Cal. Was a really good time, music was good, cell phone bill for $40 for 40 minuets of talk time. Dodge Caravan was the R1S of the day, ok maybe a stretch there. More pay phones then than Starbucks now. Didn’t give a rats a** about politics. We actually talked about this stuff at car meets, cruising at the pier on Saturday night. Here we are now tapping it out on a phone, so sad

Fact. We can argue about whether this name or that name is racist slight. It's a waste of time. But the 80s sucked and I will fight that argument to the death.

It's because your Mom stopped coming over?

My teenage years were in 80's and the music was the best.

If the 80's could see us they would laugh at us. Like what's this post truth stuff all about?

When I was in High School in the early 90s I worked at a mom and pop deli. Not a single day went by without a customer asking us "how big is the 6 inch sub?"

I think of those customers a lot when I read some of these forum posts.

In the early 90's I could see that being funny.

Now days I'd just assume they were a former subway customer who learned to be cynical.

Is it actual bread?
Is that real tuna?

I was born in the 80s, so I consider myself a 90s kid. Still listen to plenty of 80s music to this day though. Speaking of the 90s...

That's the Subway "Footlong" suit.
Unlike the "2x4" lumber suit.

5th graders?
How about licensed stock market traders who think a stock is "cheap" after it splits 2 for 1 so they start buying it?
Don't even try to convince drunk college kids that one large 18 inch pizza is larger than two medium 12 inch pizzas … : )
