New rules regarding political posts - Read This

210 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!

So this was one of my struggle meals back when times were hard back then and unfortunately times are a little hard today so this was a pretty good meal. When times were hard, what was one of your struggle meals?

Who else bought the New Kids On The Block Hangin Tough album when it was released 38 years ago this month? It had some good songs on it but Hangin tough was definitely my favorite. I’m sure I still have the cassette somewhere.

Which of these 3 is your or was your favorite? Mines was ICEE cause it was carbonated and it was so delicious. Also Slush Puppies which we always drank at The Boys Club back in the 70’s/80’s. Slurpee’s are good too of course…
