We Had One Of Those When I Was A Kid. That Device With The Cable Is The Remote. We Even Had A Video Camera

We had one of those when I was a kid. That device with the cable is the remote. We even had a video camera to go with it ... which meant I got to carry that heavy recorder while mom used the camera. It was technically portable, but it really helped to have a strong teen to carry the heavy part.

Yeah, it's really primitive by today's standards, but it was kind of a tech marvel in its day. No nostalgia at all, though. I'll take the camera in my phone any day over that thing!

If I thought we could come even close to a consistent schedule for feedings we would totally do this!

I have been in IT for over 30 years. I can 100% confirm this!

Sam, that is just how IT people act

I always love these threads that keep the history alive. I have my own fond memories of the Leather community that welcomed me to Chicago after I got kicked out of the USAF in 1992 for being queer.

Anyway, just wanted to say my favorite part of this specific thread was learning the OP learned and updated their opinion!

can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags. 

"they/them pussy" "they/them dick" "girl dick" "boy pussy"

guys can we people start referring to cis genitals/post op trans genitals like this too? how funny would it be to go "that girl pussy tho" "I love boy dick" or even

that she/her pussy

that he/him dick

is this funny or am I just being silly, wacky even

Unfriendly reminder that while you're busy mourning the loss of your childs old gender, claiming you need to mourn the death of your son/daughter, there's a group of boys/girls/enbies scrambling to take your kid clothes shopping, snatching up the chance to take those "first" experiences from you forever. Your sons first fishing trip is gonna be with his best bros, your daughters first makeover is going to be with her girl friends, your kids first camping trip out as themselves is gonna be with the besties. Good luck getting those bonding experiences back. While you're busy trying to guilt-trip your kid with your weird manufactured parental trauma, there's a whole community ready to take your place as the better family.

Your loss, someone elses gain.
