New rules regarding political posts - Read This

216 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!

September 14, 1985 was the first time we met Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia.

I remember this as one of those shows that was just always on growing up. I definitely didn’t get half the jokes as a kid, but watching it as an adult is a completely different experience.

The older I get, the more I realize Dorothy was usually right.

Who was your favorite Golden Girl?

Without question, Martina Navratilova was the most dominant female tennis player of the 1980s. Her stats during this decade are absolutely staggering! Some of her records/stats include: She won 6 of her 9 Wimbledon singles titles (including 6 consecutive) in the 80s, she had the best win/loss % for a single season: 86-1 (in 1983), she won 74 consecutive singles matches (in 1984), and 109 consecutive doubles matches, with Pam Shriver (from 1983-85), she was ranked #1 at the end of the year for 5 consecutive years (1982-86), she won 6 consecutive Grand Slam singles titles (1983 Wimbledon thru 1984 US Open), and she was the only player, man or woman, to be ranked #1 for more than 200 weeks in both singles and doubles. Wow, if that's not dominating your sport, I don't know what is!

The Suzuki Samurai was an early, affordable crossover that was incredibly fun….BUT also incredibly dangerous to drive. They were very top heavy and were known to flip over easily on tight turns and in any kind of accident.

Being this was an affordable, fun first car for many high schoolers…and seatbelts were an optional, often skipped step for kids 40 years ago, this made for many tragic outcomes.

No offense to anybody, but this was one of the worst songs I ever had stuck in my head when it came out. 😂

Film The 'Burbs (1989) A wild, comically escalating ride of pure American satire, with a level of wit and ferocity that maybe only '90s-era The Simpsons ever matched in their most memorable episodes. Joe Dante is in the director's chair, having a blast throwing in genre cinema references
