It’s not my term, it’s one you see online a lot in anti SUV places and it seems to have taken legs which is fun.

Speaking of saving money on the phone bill, my BFF’s childhood household was on a party line into the early 90s!

“ While mauling a hiker on Signal Mountain, the grizzly bit into the man’s can of bear repellent and was hit with a burst of it, causing the animal to flee. The 35-year-old Massachusetts man, who’d pretended to be dead while he was being bitten, made it to safety and spent Sunday night in the hospital.”
You are one very lucky guy.

If I didn’t have a sinus headache, I’d’ve stood up and cheered after watching this:
I also really want his slippers, and ofc I love his horsey vest and jodhpur-y trousers!
Do plz cross-post wherever it’s needed.

‘Fucktrumpet’ is a fave of mine; first saw it in a tweet from a chap in the UK who was rightly denigrating merkin von bankupt, AKA benedict donald.
We had a party line for years after we moved into that house in 1972. The line was shared with an old lady who rarely used the phone, but would be on it for hours when she did 
It felt like a real accomplishment when we finally got A Private Line.
Call Waiting seemed like manna from heaven. Caller ID was another seeming godsend, and Caller ID on Call Waiting made our hearts explode with joy.

Isn’t it just super weird how fast all that changed in our lifetime!?! Now we all have “private lines” more or less…

I have frequently thought about that stuff and similar since early childhood, even more so now I’m old XD The ways our phones have changed & evolved since the mid-60s is just one example. TVs are another.
Watching the '69 moon landing as a three-year-old gave me an almost adult-level awareness re: what we humans can accomplish when we truly set our minds to something, and I’ve watched our technological etc progress over my lifetime with a science fiction author-esque sense of pride, wonder, and much, “Of course we’ve accomplished that!”
The knowledge re: “Yeah, it’s expensive now, just wait a few years and [insert object/treatment/etc] will be both smaller [ETA: or bigger in some cases!] and cheaper,” has also stood me well over my last five decades of existence XD XD

… first they gatekeep access to the fancy bullshit and make us compete for it
then they offer it to everyone
then they require us to use the fancy bullshit and make us compete using the fancy bullshit
and now we all have to be video producers whether we like it or not, just to be “normal”
