I once worked 2nd shift at a motel. One slow afternoon a guy called and I answered ‘Super 8 motel, how may I help you?’. He ignored this and asked me what movies were showing in our theatre tonight. I asked him which theatre and he said the St. Clair 10 Cinema. I had the newspaper open to the page showing showtimes to our local theatre by accident(that theatre was across the street). I read him all the movies and showtimes. Later looked up phone number and realized cinema was one digit off from our motel, a 4 instead of a 5. Probably took over a hundred phone calls from this guy asking same thing over next year or so, always kept the newspaper open to that page to help him. He eventually figured out we were a motel, not the theatre, and asked me why I’d helped him all this time. I simply said, because you asked nicely. Had a nice conversation with this older gentleman named Phil, who was a widower. He continued to call me for movie times even after that because the theatre was his favorite thing. I feel the small things count.

We ate all of that under 30 mintues, and then we went to play Roblox on my PC. We played multiple games like "The last person to drown in lava wins" "Murder mystery 2" and a couple of other games. after this, we went to play hide and seek outside. After that, we went BACK to austell ga but not to capture more trains. We needed to find eggs there because we heard that the residents in austell ga placed a lot of eggs that year, and this happened around April. My friend Billy found 8 eggs, I found 47 eggs, my friend Carl found 12 eggs, my friend Stinkhands (the reason he's named that because he doesn't wash his hands or wipe his butt after taking a dump) found 19 eggs.

The 90s weren't bad either, but I do think the downfall started with the internet and in particular social media. AI will make things worse.

Tbh the world has always been a mess in terms of wars, economics, geopolitics etc, its just in the 80s pre internet we were exposed to it far less than we are now, I’m sure the older generation in the 80s were saying they wished it was the 60s again. But i get what you’re saying, the world seemed like a larger place in the 80s, kids played in the streets more and some of the greatest movies in history were being made in this decade.

There were phones back then but not like "smartphone" just a regular phone call and texting.

@@karinadelma there was no texting in the 80's. and cell phones were considered a luxury, i'm assuming. texting was invented in the early 80s, but wasnt used until the late 90s/2000. most people didnt have cell phones until around then, as well. they were commercially made in 1985, but werent a norm until 90s/2000. pagers were the thing.

[@AlmightyTreeDragon]

Instead of looking at my phone, I still had my anxiety back then as a anxious little boy. I don't think alot of you understand why sometimes people look at their phones. It's because some of us have social anxiety. Wtf is the point of living in the moment is we don't feel same. Our phones help us help anxious people feel safe unless we are with others we trust. I get that back then people didn't believe or understand mental illness much but geeze these comments still don't get it. As someone mentioned we didn't have cell phones to text or stare at during the times but if they did have them, they would be doing the same. That's how some people live in the moment because we are different than people like you who are more confident and didn't have get past our traumas. It's hypothetical to say you prefer back then when you all are now using the Internet to communicate with each other. There are purposes for phones instead of just "social media". I don't even use main stream social media. I game and watch stuff on my phone. It's basically a mini computer.

But hey, at least they had something to spice up their morning routine, unlike us modern folks who just have to settle for boring old climate change and global pandemics.

[@TheToekutter]

I've gone to the theater twice in the past 4 years (for Dune Part 1 and 2 IMAX). I grew up in this 80s era. Going to movies was fun, it was an event, people were (mostly) considerate, employees were nice. I used to go to 1-2 movies in the theater every week. The moviegoing experience is the exact antithesis of this today: expensive, annoyingly loud, 30 minutes of commercials and/or trailers, inconsiderate jerks on their phones, jaded "bro" employees on their phones who would rather die than assist you. Just a flat out unfun and miserable experience today.

[@sarahdeshay1394]

Love this video, thank you so much for posting! So proud and grateful to have lived the 80's. There's a whole lot to miss. At the same time, it makes me extra grateful for all the breaks we have today that we never dreamed of before. Sure, there aren't any flying cars or hoverboards, but if you told 80's kids back then about how easy this generation can get their hands on whatever movies and music they want, they'd want to fast-forward to where we are now. Human beings are funny that way.
