“If you made Back to the Future in 2025 and they went back 30 years, it would be 1995 and nothing would look that different,” Thompson, 64, says by phone from a shoot in Vancouver, Canada. “The phones would be different but it wouldn’t be like the strange difference between the 80s and the 50s and how different the world was.”

She can’t be serious? Style would be different. The internet wasn’t really a thing yet. Advertising wasn’t as prolific. Cell phones barely existed in normal every day life. Cars were half the size. Of course things would look different. At the very least, the people would look thinner.

It is in our constitution, and we know how they like to cherry pick that.

13th Amendment, Section 1: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

I can tell you why I bought one, $12500 in rebates were taken off the msrp, and those rebates started in Jan. I’m hoping I also get the govt 7500 ev tax credit.

Utterly disgusting. I hope that all the cops that helped with this citation get to experience the same treatment in the future.

I think what you are describing is either egocentric bias or experiential bias.

“ Egocentric bias is the tendency to rely too heavily on one's own perspective and/or have a higher opinion of oneself than reality. It appears to be the result of the psychological need to satisfy one's ego “
