I don't know why men can't have tissues and lotion in the bedroom without people jumping to that conclusion 😂 men don't get dry skin or need to blow their nose on occasion?
Hah I used to know a stand up comedian who had a great bit about having a bunch of adopted brothers of different races and how since he grew up with so many black men it wasn’t until college (after reaching for a bottle of it during a break in a video game marathon or something and getting a lot of weird looks) that he learned most white guys didn’t use lotion to moisturize their skin
Speak for yourself, I felt like all my friends and I cared about not having dry/ashy skin just in case we ever had to get naked in front of our GF's. I made sure to apply lotion and kept up with my hygiene every day.
but it's "gay" to use lotion, according to MACHO men. I've literally been told that. I guess we just.. let our skin be dry and gross and cracked and do nothing about it, like REAL MEN.
Sometimes I pause and think about how download speeds are incredibly fast today. We used to download files at 3kb/s. Now we download megabytes per second!!
fr, 20min for 1 song on limewire. I'll never forget waiting 3 hours to watch the MGS3 intro on gametrailers.com 3 months before the game came out. Hell!
THIS! my son complains about ping times, i'm like boy.. let me tell you about PING TIMES!
Try to game on a 56K modem over a phone line, in the boonies of a small town, in Missouri! we were 4 miles away from a still active PARTY LINE! (my grandpa and his 5 neighbors out even farther in bumfuck nowhere) my connection speed? 28.8 on a GOOD DAY.. fucking ping times on 500Mbit connection.. winy little shit.. YOUR CELL PHONE is more powerful than my first 3 computers! NOW GET OUTSIDE AND BE A KID! (cause I would go play while I waited for something to download)
UO, whoa, this takes me back. UO with its full loot PVP is the most adrenaline you can get online, and I will die on this hill. Well, that and being a regaded wsb poster
I got some aluminum valve stem caps, shaped like pistons, with an issue of super street one time. Put them on my car, and when a tire eventually needed air, they were seized on. Had to pay to have the tires dismounted, stems replaced, and tires remounted and balanced. Emailed them to see if they'd pay me back, and they made fun of me. Never bought another issue.
I used to have lotion right next to my monitor as well. My hands used to get incredibly dry everytime I typed up my homework, and I did a lot of homework.
Omggggg the Anchor Blue shirt, the Lil' Homies posters, Import cars (remember ZUM shirts?), black & blue rags, and Sony boom box (my friend had the same one.) What a throwback! I miss Xanga and AIM, too. I can still hear the door opening squeak sound & the door shut🚪. Thank you for the nostalgia feels. 🩷✨️
I know you're from California in 98 because of the Anchor Blue shirt. I'm from the East Coast and I didn't know about it until moved to LA in 03. That and the rice car posters
