As a kid in the 60’s my friends and I could ride our bikes all over Baton Rouge. Places I wouldn’t go through in an armored car today.

I haven't seen those yet. I guess it's something I can look forward to at some point.

A twenty dollar bill could lead to a hell of a night in the 60s

Now I can buy a six pack of paper towels and an airplane bottle of fireball with that

I still do this today. If I ever live in a neighborhood where I don't feel comfortable doing this, I'll move.

I don't like this normalization of crime where the cops blame the victims "If only you had locked your car, your house, etc" like blaming a back alley rape victim for being too attractive. "If only you weren't wearing a nice dress and makeup, you wouldn't have been abducted, raped, and beaten half to death".

Hmm, the 1960s vs the 2020s...

Tough decision.

Go to the traveling circus when it came to town.


I think we paid fifteen cents to see a 800 pound man in a freak show. They came to the Grant Shopping Center at Barrow and Tunnel in an eighteen wheeler van.

If you paid an extra dime you could see the tattooed “ lady “.

I know this doesn’t answer your question but outside of technology, the 60’s were a much better time to be alive.

Smoke anywhere at any time


I was browsing through roku stuff yesterday. Was o tubi or something and saw Newsmax, thought I had seen it mentioned here as decent news, so I tuned in. Went to a segment with two guests streaming in from different locations, and one of them was just smoking away while reporting with ear buds in, had a nice suit on too. The main guy was like, "your smoking right now, that's cool."
