 I talked with a man today, an 80+ year old man. I asked him if there was anything I can get him while this Coronavirus scare was gripping America. He simply smiled, looked away and said: "Let me tell you what I need! I need to believe, at some point, this country my generation fought for... I need to believe this nation we handed safely to our children and their children... I need to know this generation will quit being a bunch of sissies...that they respect what they've been given...that they've earned what others sacrificed for." I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or if it was going anywhere at all. So, I sat there, quietly observing. "You know, I was a little boy during WWII. Those were scary days. We didn't know if we were going to be speaking English, German or Japanese at the end of the war. There was no certainty, no guarantees like Americans enjoy today. And no home went without sacrifice or loss. Every house, up and down every street, had someone in harm's way. Maybe their Daddy was a soldier, maybe their son was a sailor, maybe it was an uncle. Sometimes it was the whole drat family...fathers, sons, uncles... Having someone, you love, sent off to war...it wasn't less frightening than it is today. It was scary as Hell. If anything, it was more frightening. We didn't have battle front news. We didn't have email or cellphones. You sent them away and you hoped...you prayed. You may not hear from them for months, if ever. Sometimes a mother was getting her son's letters the same day Dad was comforting her over their child's death. And we sacrificed. You couldn't buy things. Everything was rationed. You were only allowed so much milk per month, only so much bread, toilet paper. EVERYTHING was restricted for the war effort. And what you weren't using, what you didn't need, things you threw away, they were saved and sorted for the war effort. My generation was the original recycling movement in America. And we had viruses back then...serious viruses. Things like polio, measles, and such. It was nothing to walk to school and pass a house or two that was quarantined. We didn't shut down our schools. We didn't shut down our cities. We carried on, without masks, without hand sanitizer. And do you know what? We persevered. We overcame. We didn't attack our President, we came together. We rallied around the flag for the war. Thick or thin, we were in it to win. And we would lose more boys in an hour of combat than we lose in entire wars today." He slowly looked away again. Maybe I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye. Then he continued: "Today's kids don't know sacrifice. They think a sacrifice is not having coverage on their phone while they freely drive across the country. Today's kids are selfish and spoiled. In my generation, we looked out for our elders. We helped out with single moms who's husbands were either at war or dead from war. Today's kids rush the store, buying everything they can...no concern for anyone but themselves. It's shameful the way Americans behave these days. None of them deserve the sacrifices their granddads made. So, no I don't need anything. I appreciate your offer but, I know I've been through worse things than this virus. But maybe I should be asking you, what can I do to help you? Do you have enough pop to get through this, enough steak? Will you be able to survive with 113 channels on your tv?" I smiled, fighting back a tear of my own...now humbled by a man in his 80's. All I could do was thank him for the history lesson, leave my number for emergency and leave with my ego firmly tucked in. And then he sucked my cock.

Re: The tooth thing: I know I'm supposed to be horrified at imagining the feeling of it, but what I can't stop thinking about is the noise that the nailclippers would make.

Brits generally have better teeth than Americans. Universal access to free dentistry means there's a much higher uptake on preventative measures that promote general mouth hygiene compared to the American system that promotes expensive for-profit cosmetic procedures over preventative measures. Anyway, a meme:

If your operator was running a WAP gateway (mine still is!), you could browse the regular Internet with the 6310i and 3310i's more expensive sister, the 3330 With that resolution, PSVR's no way to play God of War!

I think we got broadband(cable internet) in San Antonio, Texas in like 1998 or 1999, during the Ultima Online glory days. I distinctly remember my friend getting it and then me begging my mom to get it as well.

Or that's how I understood it. My parents in Northern CA only just got off dialup (and onto satellite) about two years ago lmao, there ain't no cable or DSL in their valley and there never will be

I cannot stop imagining a sharp, debilitating pain in my front teeth. I'm audibly wincing, the thought just won't go away, I cannot concentrate on anything right now. Thanks, thread! edit: lol

Does anyone else have that dream where it's not just that your teeth are falling out, but crunching like popcorn as they break into a million crumbly little pieces, while your jaw hinges open along the mandibular suture and sort of flaps around like bird wings? I have anxiety!!! flap flap flap I apologize for the stupid caption at the bottom:

Teeth dreams are one of those "universal" dream motifs that I have somehow never experienced in my entire life. Being naked at school, though....I get that all the time.
