I’m an older millenial that identifies closer to Gen X. I think mine would be … Will Smith crying to Uncle Phil about his dad on Fresh Prince? That was pretty iconic. Wasn’t a good bye or finale one though.
Seinfeld finale was kinda bleh. I skipped Roseanne, Friends and Frazier’s finales to be honest and the fact no one references them never made me catch up. The Simpsons seemingly won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality. I guess I can’t choose?
Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.
I fell off from Friends and Frasier years before they ended, partially because I didn’t have time to watch tv at that point, but for Friends it was also because I just didn’t care anymore. Not sure whether I can really say I was representative of the Xennial demographic though. The finale of Roseanne, on the other hand, was the groaner of a punchline to the hack comedian’s joke that the final season was, so it certainly wasn’t iconic either.
That scene from Fresh Prince that you picked is a great one. I made another comment suggesting Atreyu trying to save Artax, and I suppose I should add the super dark finale of Dinosaurs. Otherwise I can’t think of much else; so many of the iconic characters I grew up watching wore out their welcomes because tv execs in the ‘90s somehow figured out how to suffocate the lightning they caught in a bottle.
Two main things I remember about that finale. Cliff ending the conversation on shoes because their topic was about shoewear. Lastly, Sam saying to the incoming patron: “we’re closed”.
Based on the size and proportions of this, I’m guessing this is a drumette and not a drumstick. But, I’m also I’m not sure a photo of a single piece of chicken from a single order is really evidence of much of anything.
It’s not a “usually” thing, but yes there are bone-in and boneless (aka de-boned) chicken wings available in the USA. It’s quite common for establishments, especially fast food or convenience restaurants, to offer both options but not all places offer both.
The higher quality boneless wings are typically made from drumettes like the piece in OPs picture above, but with the meat pulled off the bone. It’s often cut into “nuggets”, breaded, and deep fried. Sometimes other cuts of meat are used, though, like the breast.
The lower quality boneless wings are usually just barely more than ground up chicken parts mixed with binding agents, similar to mass produced chicken nuggets but usually not quite as uniform in shape and texture. Basically one step up from “pink slime” or chicken dough based nuggets.
I’m completely with you. I got KFC (just breasts and legs) and these were the legs I got. My only explanation is that the other comments in this thread are right and we got scammed because it’s “close enough”
It’s also possible that it’s a case of the employees not giving a fuck. Otherwise KFC would have to be buying pullets from the poultry farmers, which doesn’t make much sense from a financial standpoint for either side.
I was in rural India for a friend’s wedding. They set up a giant tent pavilion to use as a dining hall, with fans hanging from the top. This was a ways away from the main house, but there were some power lines nearby so they just got power straight from the grid.
Also, day of the wedding, there was a large sound system for the musicians and priest. All the components were plugged into a power strip, which was powered by a couple loose wires stuffed into an outlet
Unfortunately India will also peak it’s population around 2040. My city already has a fertility rate of 1.4 I wish world was comfortable enough for people to be okay having kids
At that point I had seen a doc who just loaded me down with large doses of like 3 different benzos.
Slept for 2 days straight.
The creepist hallucinations were dark figures in the corner of dark rooms chanting in some language that didnt sound human in origin, just reproduced by humans.
The oddest was a stop sign that turned into buddy Christ from Dogma (I think) and then back into a stop sign.
I wasn’t religious at all at that point in time, though I went through elementary in a private christian school before transferring to public schools, and the area is certainly part of the bible belt.
Of course this leads me to ponder how much of our beliefs and such is shaped by the cultural norms of the area we’re in, even if your own family doesn’t participate.
Then again, what is “normal” is viewed through the lense of the community being studied.
So realizing this, I have to wonder how much of my beliefs and morals stems from the area that I was raised in versus what I have actually experienced and value.
Just how much of “me” has been brainwashed into me, subtly over time and reinforced by various methods of society. Then that moves the thought to how much of me is just directly rebelling against that force, but wouldn’t be present without that external force. Which all boils down to essential philosophical questions that man has been asking for centuries with no real answer.
That’s… not great. Impressive, but not great. I hope you’re in a better place now.
At that point I had seen a doc who just loaded me down with large doses of like 3 different benzos.
Doctor: Um, yeah. I don’t normally do this, but I’m going to give you serious drugs up front and then figure out what’s going on later. Take this after you get home. Also, clear your calendar for the next few days.
Then again, what is “normal” is viewed through the lense of the community being studied.
What you’re pondering is the classic “nature vs nurture” argument, and moral relativism overall. I can’t say how active this philosophical area is these days, but you’re correct in that it’s a part of “essential philosophical questions that man has been asking for centuries with no real answer.” I say, drink deep from this well and master the domain. Maybe then sleep will come easier.
