It is very unfortunate there exists so much turmoil, paranoia and greed in the world today. To the point where people have forgotten basic human decency and try and manipulate lower class people or instead lash out at anyone they can and most of that is because of the advances in social media, apps and modern ways of communicating which have changed so drastically to our normal natural organic way that existed for 100's of years.

She is/was great. This is a MTV segment could be a couple of TikTok videos! I miss Blockbusters too, but driving and renting a movie for $5 and trying to return it on time is objectively so much worse than paying $14 a month for endless Movies and TV shows on demand, so what I really miss is the memories of being young, and going there with my mom or arguing over what to rent with my first gf. Whenever you were young and the world was new, the nostalgia makes that world and time seem like the best possible one. People who grew up in the 60's and 70's probably saw this when it came out and thought watching a star go to a Blockbuster on MTV was horrible and trite compared to the things they remember doing when they were young.

[@davidbatcher5179]

Yes the 90s and 2000s we're so much brighter. Is it just me or does it seem like then it was all sunshine and happiness and being bubbly and having fun. No days it's so dark. The music even the rap is all emotional and dark. The movies that come out are all horror movies or psychological thrillers. They really don't make happy upbeat raunchy comedies any more. It's either some reality bullshit or drama or horror. We get an ok rom com maybe twice a year now. People only want to be home alone or they want to argue with everyone because they can hide behind a screen. It's like the 90s and 2000s was a bright sunny warm day but after about 2015 it's like a dark cloud came over the world and just gets darker and darker each year. Really fucks me up because that's one thing there is no solution to. Time travel technology hasn't been released to us so we have to live in this darkness.
