I wasn’t alive back then, so I guess you mean

in the me*

I thought it was more about coming back from the war combined with advances in healthcare. The economic aspect makes sense, but families were bigger throughout history even in poorer economic times.

There were plenty of local jobs that paid better than jobs today do (adjusted for CoL) and needed less education etc.

Yeah, it was “none” for me because DVDs didn’t exist in my childhood. Well, at least not in my home.

Basically…

Pokemon from Gens 3~7 (2000s to early 2019) can only be brought forward using a system that will no longer be officially supported at some point.

Pokemon in Gens 8 and 9 (the Switch games) are mostly considered “current”, and can be swapped around between any current game and Pokemon Home.

Pokemon Home costs money to store Pokemon.

Generally, moving Pokemon between generations involves transferring them using some special tool. The final destination (unless you want to pay money) is usually a game, because that’s where you can actually use them. The games also have plenty of storage that’s “free” (at least, not subscription-based).

Pokemon in the games had been stored inside cartridges from Gen 1 to Gen 7 (90s to early 2019). It was only with the Switch that game saves (and thus Pokemon) stopped being saved to the cartridges, and instead were saved to the console’s internal storage (not even an SD card).

Until 2019, getting a new console for your Pokemon games meant nothing – you’d be able to use your old Pokemon and saves on the new console by plugging in your old game.

This is the first time you had to do anything special to get your saves onto your new console.

For added context, Nintendo offers a cloud saves for players to back up their Switch game saves.

Pokemon is the one of the only Nintendo franchises to not support cloud saves.

Webpages bouncing stuff around as various elements load in.

Back in the day, the space would be reserved, so if something hadn’t loaded yet, that space would be blank.

Nowadays, you’ll be reading something (or worse – trying to click on something), and it’ll get bounced around because some other element of the webpage got loaded in.

The picture is a bit misleading to the rest of your post, because given the picture and the title, I was inclined to answer “Right there”! Lol

I was wondering why you’d need to check receipts, but then I realized you probably meant old ones, haha

There are probably some you take for granted. It would be exhausting to be in constant awe at the wonders of the modern world! Haha

What is boy pre salting?

Thank you. That’s a shame. I was hoping it was one of the newer members of the band, but nope, he joined in the 80s.

Him and fans try to play it off as a joke, but it definitely means something when you keep making the same kinds of jokes and not changing after the first time people tell you it’s terrible

What’s the problem with Pantera? I know almost nothing about them aside from an album plus a few singles

I’m a gamer, but I don’t know who that is.

Is it one of the playable characters from GTA5?

“Brian”…?

Typo/autocorrect for “bran”?

It’s a great word. It can be almost any part of speech/grammar!

Same here. My accounts still exist, but I only ever access it now through old.reddit signed out. I still read info from a few communities, but never comment.

Depending on the age, they do it on purpose. Sometimes it’s because they are just figuring out social situations – doing X to person Y results in action Z.

You can find videos of babies pretending to be stuck and crying to get attention. When “unstuck” and not given attention, they stop crying, get themselves fake-stuck again and start crying again. They want the attention and coddling that they got the last time they were legitimately stuck.

I’m sure some babies know they’re faking it.
