that is another thing we had that the Millennials don't
we had romance
in every John Hughes movie, the guy gets the girl in the end and they live happily ever after
Except the wrong guy won in Sixteen Candles. I remember pointing that out to my girlfriend after leaving the movie and she had to agree with my sentimental take and my advances on her virtue.
I was the wrong guy going home with the girl
I just wanted to fuck her senseless
sad single naive guy could pound sand so far as I was concerned
girls are not sweetness & light, they are ruthless, I was just beating them at their own game
romance is about excitement & mystery, nobody ever said it was fair

Following a backlash from residents and politicians, the New York Police Department will no longer deploy its Spot robot dog. A lease for the device has been canceled and it will be returned to Boston Dynamics, the NYPD told the New York Times.
The police force planned to keep testing Spot (which it nicknamed Digidog) until the lease ran out in August. The NYPD's deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, John Miller, said the department changed its mind after Spot became a target for people who "had improperly used it to fuel arguments about race and surveillance."
Critics raised privacy concerns about the robot, which has been deployed to several crime scenes and hostage situations since October. Bill Neidhardt, a spokesman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, told the NYT he was “glad the Digidog was put down," adding that the machine is "creepy, alienating and sends the wrong message to New Yorkers."
Before canceling the agreement on April 22nd, the NYPD planned to spend $94,000 on the lease, according to records. Buying a Spot robot outright costs $75,000.
