Stanwich, in Johnny Depp & Matthew Perry (1988)

Did famous people just all grow up together.

Ah the days before insane drug addictions.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

Nah they just did lines off each other’s buttholes.

Ah iconic photograph, but does it really fit this community?

It’s up to the mod, I guess, but the sidebar only says “Cool old pics,” so not much to go on.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Ah, okay. My recollection of the Reddit sub of the same name is that it was people who were cool back in the day. But maybe they’re going for something different here.

I’m honestly not 100% sure either. I also remember a r/thewaywewere, where people would post old pics of themselves.

Does anyone really think that, after all these decades, none of the conspirators would have left a message to be opened after their death?

Boozilla,

That generation placed a high value on silence and stoicism.

Dagwood222,

“Three can keep a secret if two are dead.”

Someone would have had to recruit Oswald, recruit Ruby, and pay for the whole thing. So many moving parts and not one person had a child who noticed anything?

Watergate’s “Deep Throat” was part of that generation , too.

Boozilla,

I think Deep Throat supports my point more than yours. Took forever to find out who he was, and it was a huge scandal at the time. Today it would be a yawner. Leaks are an everyday occurrence now, and very little is kept secret for long these days compared to back then.

Dagwood222,

Pretty much everyone involved in Watergate was around for the Kennedy era.

BartsBigBugBag,

All I’m saying is that Lee Harvey Oswald had gone to Russia, announced he was defecting and had secrets for sale, and when they didn’t bite, he requested to go back to the US and was granted permission… despite just having defected and offering to sell US state secrets…. He had Top Secret clearance at 18, learned Russian in the American intelligence communities private language school, was known as an exceptionally terrible shot, personally knew Jack Ruby…

I honestly think anyone who believes the official story hasn’t done any research on it other than maybe checking out the controlled opposition conspiracy idiots.

Not to mention that Allan Dulles was immediately brought back into the government after having been fired by Kennedy, and was a big part of the investigation into the incident. The same Allan Dulles who was directly implicated in hundreds of illegal activities both domestically and abroad.

Dagwood222,

By my count your conspiracy would have had to have at least two dozen people, if not more, in the US and in Russia. What kind of hold lasts over half a century without a single crack? After the USSR fell people were selling anything that wasn’t nailed down.

BartsBigBugBag,

No one in Russia, except Oswald… but you can find news events around him, he went on Russian TV and everything bragging about it.

Why did the government say it was a national security concern to release the JFK documents if their official story is complete and without fault?

Dagwood222,

So, you’re saying Oswald was a spy who went to Russia and then came back home. Seems like the worst person to recruit for a job like that; he was a worked at the Book Depository and any employee would have been under intense scrutiny after the murder.

And someone had to recruit him, then someone else had to get him the job, and another person had to convince Jack Ruby to silence Oswald.

So many moving parts and no one person dropped the ball? Remember, these are the same people who failed to kill Castro a dozen times after screwing the pooch at the Bay of Pigs.

Whoresradish,

Where did you hear he had top secret clearance?

Was born in 1957. Grew up with everyday second hand smoke. Was generally unaware of it until my young teenage years. Then couldn’t tolerate it. Would stuff a towel under my bedroom door to keep the smoke from creeping in during my mom’s a.m. ciggy and coffee in the kitchen. Am a nonsmoker today and will walk across the street to avoid someone smoking. Yeeeech.

I grew up outside of the US in the 1980s when everyone smoked everywhere. Homes, restaurants, planes. I still can’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke, it makes me physically sick.

FWIW, my mother died in 1991 of lung cancer. She started at age 15. Kept smoking until she could no longer. RIP Pearl.

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

RIP, Pearl. I feel bad for all the people who got addicted and then got sick and died because tobacco executives knowingly lied.

DavidGarcia, in Toddler blowing out mom's cigarette match. Long Island, NY, USA, 1950s

back in the good old days kids didn’t have anxiety since they were constantly breathing in cigarette smoke. bring back smoking on air planes. won’t anyone think of the children?

Fun fact: back in the smoking days, airplane cabins actually had more fresh air than they do today, when all we get is ‘recycled’ air.

Rhoeri, in Grandpa and his mom, smoking while in his uniform

Doesn’t look like mom is smoking.

nbafantest,

This pic is only half old school cool!

Thank you for flying Trixie Mattel Airlines.

How many times were those ladies goosed on just that one flight?

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not a native English speaker, so I had to look up “getting goosed.” I am sure more than once.

can, (edited )

I am a native speaker and still had to look it up:

to poke between the buttocks with an upward thrust

dan1101,

I’ve seen it to mean any sort of pinch/poke/grab/fondle of the general butt region.

pigup,

Right, anything that makes the victim honk like a goose 🪿

can,

Now it makes sense

money_loo, in Pacific Southwest Airlines flight attendants (1970s)

Southwest Airlines before the Iranian revolution.
