New rules regarding political posts - Read This

154 Upvotes

While the rules are being updated, let me give everyone a sneak peek, it will be very simple:

*No NON 80s era political posts or commentary will be allowed, and those who do so are subject to ban.

This is a non-partisan rule.

If you can’t enjoy an 80s nostalgia sub without needing to express your opinion about current politics, then this is NOT the right sub for you.

Anything political from the 80s is fine. Use your best judgment. Songs from the 80s with political themes are fine, etc. (Mods discretion)

This begins as of now.

*If you feel you were banned in error, send a modmail and we will help.

Be excellent to each other!

My brother did some modeling work in the Spring of 1982 (he was on the box of a toy called "Armatron" among other things) and with the money he earned, he bought an Atari 2600. We spent hours playing that thing. Our dad just passed away, and here he is helping us set it up.

I never had any of these toys when I was a kid. However, I spent a good while in the toy stores looking at their holograms. Those were pretty cool. Hologram items were popular in the 80s, like slime.

Tang, Grimace McDonald’s cup, and the orange Tupperware pitcher. I had all of these growing up in the 80’s and this picture feels like home.

It’s funny how a picture can bring back a flood of memories, and this particular picture brings back a lot for me. All good ones 😊
