I feel like "old Simpsons" is like a strange window intonthe past now. Into my own childhood even. No mobile phone but still technologies like television, CDs, so on. No screens or technology in their cars other than a radio.
Yeah that's a lot of shows I've been rewatching lately. There are so many situations that would be resolved by just messaging somebody, but nobody could even call each other directly in the early 90s or 80s unless they were home.
The episode of Friends in 1999 with Ross' leather pants and he calls Joey from the bathroom of some girl's apartment must have been a weird concept but this thread has only just made me think about that now because it's so normal to call someone anywhere now kek.
Fricking revival series nowadays are usually so terrible because >'Mulder struggling with smartphone heh'
the scene where Lucy in Twin Peaks The Return doesn't understand mobile phones is so dumb too, but later it kinda seems cool because they call back to it when Cooper arrives
I'm preferring shows that take place pre-smartphone in a weird way. Too often it's written as some easy way out. Which is probably realistic but isn't very compelling to watch. Whenever they need to up the stakes someone will lose their phone or not have service.
Cellular telephones and the internet changed everything. Communication was very simple before that. You called somebody, wrote them a letter, or physically went to visit them. Doing research for college was a horrible chore because you had to go to the library and get the librarians to order academic journals and other literature from libraries that had copies. Writing a thesis would take months, sometimes over a year.

i just made a passing comment on the moronic photoshop job up there i don't even give a frick about what you Black folk are talking about in this thread
Guess that could technically be called a mall but the North American standard is for a mall to be enclosed. The term for what you posted is 'Lifestyle Center' or 'Power Center'.
Just highlighting the irony of leftshit coasties talking about how much they love the downtrodden then shitting on said downtrodden when they don't do what they want.
>lighter yellow simpson characters
what is this some chink inclusion shit? ching chongs they got the same damn color my skin got most of the time when they white why would you make simps with light yellow skin unless you a homosexual?
for whatever reason at the time the thing that upset boomers the most was a coffee chain that wasn't the one they grew up with opening up in their neighborhood so they shat on it as much as they possibly could to try and make it go away, but just like this website found out with gamergate, all that shit flinging did was just make them more popular and gave them a permanent place to be.
Not only is Starbucks ubiquitous in major shopping areas and large retail stores, sometimes having more than one location in the same building, but privately owned and small business cafes are frequently put out of business by Starbucks opening right next to them as a way to drive out the competition, even when there is no need or demand for a Starbucks, as if a Starbucks must simply exist next to any privately owned cafe in order to drive out the competition. Somehow the company has not been penalized for anticompetitive practices or monopoly, as it appears to be fair competition as long as one side can simply afford to build more locations, as if it were the private coffee shop's fault for not doing the same and opening more stores in effort to outcompete. Where do the funds even come from to build enough Starbucks to put every small coffee shop out of business? Is it really from the profit of $5 sugar filled coffee drinks, or is there something far more sinister going on.
Yeah, it's like they are not actually in the business of selling coffee. I don't know for sure here but a lot of these large companies are more about the real estate and investing.
>Where do the funds even come from to build enough Starbucks
Fast food restaurants like Starbucks and Subway are just incredibly inexpensive to build and operate compared to other types of fast food, and generally take less space too so they can fit in a lot more locations.
Yeah, what is that? A Mall? So 80s

Good one!
It's a Moby Dick reference. Moby Dick in your butthole lmao gottem
I've seen a Starbucks across the street from a different Starbucks. This was 2002.
The sign is a subtle joke.
Malls are dying lol.
Malls are dead in flyover shitholes, but if you live in an affluent coastal city, they are still very much alive.
the affluent coastal city mall:
that's actually Minneapolis
not mention the mall pic posted is from 8 years ago. basically dead now.
Is that the Beverly Hills mall from Body Double (1983)?
Stanford Shopping Center, sometime in the last 5 years I imagine. Here's one closer to my house in Santa Clara.
>those out of place stock photo people with completely incorrect lighting
lmao i love these moronic pictures architect firms used to make
Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara

Outdoor malls are called strip malls

Flyover moment.

god simpsons looks absolutely awful now, the artwork is dreadful. it's like a fricking clipart collage.
simpsons died animation wise the second they moved away from cels. the goofy inbetweens and animation errors added to the comedy.
