@luckyjen1128 @jrtoastyman I had never heard of sconsa either and it's supposed to be popular in Florida. I don't think I've even seen it on shelves

@jrtoastyman Right?! I find that hard to believe when it’s the single candy continuously sold out here during Easter. Also, I’ve never even heard of Sconza, which is supposedly our fave in California. I think this is rigged, lol. 😆

Whoppers are our favorite Easter candy? Be better, Missouri. And why is this entire map not Cadbury? Cream eggs, mini eggs, all of it is just sublime...

@D162Michele That's if we have a public transportation infrastructure in that City. Most don't

America, you’re telling me you can send four guys flawlessly to the moon and back, but your public transportation infrastructure looks like this?

@TomHerrington19 @D162Michele @NBiznich You misspelled Republican

@D162Michele @NBiznich Yep. You may wonder why. The answer is we are infested with Democrats.

@stephenRB4 Hurricane David was my first school closure for a storm here in Florida. It's a good name for a storm

Storm Dave (due to hit the UK and Ireland this weekend) has to be the most rubbish name for a storm ever. This does not strike the fear of God into me, Diablo? Damon? Diocles? All yes! But what do we get? Bloody Dave 🤬

@em_Lazzy Yes because I now know I'm not safe around them

Be honest… When you find out someone supports Trump, does it change how you see them? Like… does the respect shift a little, or not at all?

@HeavnlyAngel76 Not all of Gen X was traumatized and had no flashbacks about the launch

All of us Gen-X kids watching today’s launch and having a flashback iykyk 😢

@Recursion_Agent I didn't do any of those kind of lessons but then again I was in college and yes I'm Gen X

Almost no one, except millions of schoolchildren, because one of the astronauts was a teacher. There's a reason it's a generation X trauma more than any other. Not only were we watching live, we'd spent weeks doing "teacher in space" activities ahead of it, and some of us even dressed up that day. We literally shared classrooms so everyone could see it, gaslighting fuck.

@gayle_lynne @nickimoraa I saw it. It didn't traumatize me

@nickimoraa Not just traumatic for GenX. But for anyone who saw Challenger. .

If you are Gen X, I know you cannot watch a spaceship launch without anxiety because we were all traumatized by the Challenger explosion.

@countyingula123 @nickimoraa Gen X was starting college when that thing went up

@nickimoraa Is that gen x? I thought it was the one before gen x.

@SallyN218 @nickimoraa You must have been really old when you went to college because I was in college in 1986 and I'm Gen x

@nickimoraa Not just Gen X. I was in college, watching before going to my work study job, and remember it vividly. I broke the news to everyone at work.

@AyJaySimon @nickimoraa Because people are stupid and whiny.

@nickimoraa Here's what I don't get. There've been lots of shuttle launches since 1986. And Challenger wasn't a moon mission. So why is this causing PTSD for people?

@clarke_san18335 @nickimoraa I agree. It's a bunch of whiny nonsense. Plus with global warming we probably won't get that cold a day for a launch again

@nickimoraa What nonsense, there were MANY successful launches after Challenger and the problem that caused the Challenger accident (o-rings) was fixed. it's not a problem any more.

@Stubborn_eshu @nickimoraa I'm Gen x and it doesn't. Plus why pray it's the same God that blew up the Challenger

@nickimoraa Challenger’s shadow still lingers for Gen X, turning every launch into a quiet, anxious prayer for safe ascent.

@nickimoraa I am Gen x and have watched tons of launches and have no anxiety about it because of the Challenger

@GijsVWinkelhof I'm sorry the pink makes you homophobic and it's not Barbie pink

@cmlebugg I don’t agree. Now it looks like a shining star, no longer like a Barbie castle 🤭

It looks SO much better now! As someone who’s surrounded by real castles, the pink castle always looked really inauthentic to me. I’m glad it now has natural stone colors.

@Blog_Mickey I know. I can't believe they went back to a boring ugly color

I took both of these photos, and I don't even believe it

@foreveralone11w No, because I know there's been a ton of launches between that one and now the rest of you act like there's only been one other launch in the entire history of time

Any other Gen-Xers having flashbacks watching this shuttle launch? 🚀

@koulakarma Do you hold your breath for every launch or just this one cuz there's been a ton of launches in between the two

I just watched Artemis launch and I’m wondering how many people my age held their breath watching this takeoff. I saw the challenger explode on TV in class at my HS.

@irriwady @Defunctland @awesomemixnick I know people are really stupid and think they're eating it

@Defunctland @awesomemixnick They’re not eating the hair, they’re using it for nesting material
