The idea isn't bad. It may have been ahead of its time though.
Having a full-time HUD where all your searchable data is presented to the viewer, as well as the ability to surreptitiously record you at any time. Enough people saw the ethical, security, privacy and further intrusion of social media into our daily life for what it was and the program was killed. Facial recognition is a growing field of tech that's under such scrutiny and outcry in the US that Glass could never survive. I mean, this is a device that was preemptively banned in many facilities before it was even released.

There is a line, I'm glad for once it wasn't crossed.

Glad the flock of seagulls doo with the frilly prince shirt has fallen out of fashion. I was told this 4 times in one day last week as I was ringing people up at the cash register at quicky mart. My manager Jugdish Patel told me the customers would appreciate it with the 80s background music. And when he offered to buy the hairspray, eyeliner and frilly shirt, how could I refuse? It's not the same, but I do love that 80s music. Jugdish OKd my image change-- Now rockin the Peter Burns' Dead or Alive schtick. Hard to clean the slurry machine in this. Any suggestions?

That is a weird sentence.

I tried reading it in Morgan Freeman's voice but that didn't help.
My wife and I were at a restaurant in Clearwater Beach, FL a while back. I was reading the menu and realized I was mentally hearing the words in Morgan Freeman’s voice. I laughed to myself and when I looked up to tell my wife, I see Morgan fucking Freeman is actually sitting at a table behind her!

Bullying
Facebook
Purchasing PPVs
Traditional cliques (jocks, nerds, burnouts, etc.)
Speakers with extra loud bass in cars
Skinny jeans for men (I never wore them, I just couldn’t stand seeing them)
Extra short or extra long men’s basketball shorts
Tube socks

That's amazing.
I might have tried raising my voice a bit so he could overhear me say it.
"Honey, I was reading the menu in Morgan Freeman's and for a second I thought it was really happening!"

Still a thing, still a thing, still a thing, still a thing. Just had someone drive through the neighborhood last night at 2am rattling the windows.

I think the thread is about things that aren’t “cool” anymore, not whether they still exist.

Well, I think they're cool.

Seriously though, we just got done with a POTUS whose bullying has influenced a generation of children to think being an asshole is good.

Also I'm pretty sure cliques are very much still popular.

Pretty sure Trump has nuclear heat with the under-20s.

Maybe. Some like my buddy's kids are super woke. A lot of them are, but this is in an upscale area where it's easy to be woke. Not too many urban gentlemen there, which is to say none.

Parents across the country are making sure the next gen will be just as emotional and angsty as they are. The stench of that fat idiot will be with us for a while.

Trump is the king of the GOP, and the GOP is anathema to young voters. Even Republican 20 year olds - on average - support gay marriage, for one example. There's not a single major GOP culture war issue that young people side with them on - the GOP relies exclusively on white boomers and middle-aged Fox News addicts to get out the vote. Young people want to hear about how you plan to address climate change and income inequality, starting right fucking now. They're not cheering the Texas abortion law. ?

Yah, the kids are into climate change science too, which brings us back to the thread subject:

I'm glad the Earth isn't cool anymore. I'd like Michigan to be sub Tropical.
