"Young Adult literature. Back when I was in my early teen years, YA lit was Sweet Valley High and … maybe a couple of other novels, but not very much. I wound up reading a lot of science fiction paperbacks (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) and Stephen King. And a number of the girls I knew were swiping their grandma’s V.C. Andrews novels.
These days, YA lit is all over the place across a wide range of genres with diverse stories and characters. Sure, some of it is absolute cr#p (then again, there’s a lot of cr#ppy adult lit) but there’s plenty of it that’s really good."

Eseneth,
Depending on the TV it's the contrast, flat panels sometimes have trouble with shadow/black sections on scenes though most are much better now.

Eseneth,
you're right. the new tvs just blur it all together and call it high definition when it just gives you a high headache because the human brain cannot comprehend much more detail. also the new stuff cant run the old stuff. so it cant be much "better"

#2 For those who want to smell like a disgusting brewery, but have no intoxicating effect... I still find regular beer repulsive, so yeah, removing the only reason to possibly put up with it (wine without alcohol is sugar removed grape juice, and non-alcoholic cider has been around forever so people expect it).

#5 I've lived through the acceptance of GMO apples and I find it hilarious when GMO fearing people buy apples and don't know they are eating the evil they pretend to fear. (All new apples over the last 20 years ARE GMO)

#3 I learned to drive before ABS. Half of the accidents I've had were due to ABS taking over when I had total control of the situation. I guess, if all you know is stomping on the break pedal and screaming, it is better.

Malinda,
this is true. and accidentally hitting the shifter to neutral also helps a lot. but engineers act like they know better

#12 And celery, everyone forgets the strings, and some can still be bitter, but I'm still shocked when they taste sweet, remembering how it was.
