- Not particularly keen on being back in an age where I couldn't even place a phone call home if I was travelling. - Marlowe Mar 18, 09:38
- #3 -- nm - decline Mar 18, 09:28
- $100 Million Now. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 09:27
- $100 million now. I like it here. -- nm - David Mar 18, 09:26 2
  - The only reason I'd consider going back 50 years would be to acquire the resources and connections that could help re-shape the present. - Roger More Mar 18, 09:30
  - Here, in the worst timeline? -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:29
- the future answer has to be 100+ years at least for that to be chosen by me, 50 years into the past brings me to 1974 (nope!). Though if its a Replay - Jovian Mar 18, 09:20 14
  - Oh, Replay would be my answer, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:20 13
    - Yep! and you could name any dollar amount now and Id still chose the Replay option. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 09:22 12
      - You could name *anything* now... actually... I have to change my mind. Logan. I would lose Logan. Give me the $. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:25 2

        yep kids definitely change that equation (I dont have any so). But even so, Id have to give it a lot of thought, as I would lose all my nephews.. - Jovian Mar 18, 09:26
      - lol although 'Replaying' from the age of 2 would be pretty brutal those early child years.. - Jovian Mar 18, 09:24
      - I would be so much cooler in high school with my accumulated knowledge. -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 09:23 7
        
        It would also be lonely from a relationship perspective. I couldn't bring myself to date anyone until maybe college. - sycor Mar 18, 09:30 1
        
        That would just make you cooler. You'd be this worldly, unattainable guy who isn't into high school stuff while in high school. -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 09:33
        
        oh yes for sure heh (see above). Given a choice? Id start my Replay at Freshman year of HS. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 09:25 4

- Show me the money! - sycor Mar 18, 09:20
- Go back 50 years to a time when racial discrimination and corduroy pants were common, but Thai food and the internet are not? Pass. - Roger More Mar 18, 09:20 5
  - Also, everyone smoked. The drugs I need to live comfortably don't exist. -- (edited) - Reagen Mar 18, 10:00
  - you'd be the smartest man alive unless Idiocracy has been lying to me -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 18, 09:23 2
    - That was a 1000 year timeskip though -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 09:24 1
      - I stand by my statement. 50 years we'd just be coming out of the Trump Wars (when each child carved out an Empire and then they all fought) -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 18, 09:31

- Mic covers and noise reducers. Also curtains avail to help shield noise -- nm - budice Mar 18, 09:17
- I have this (I bought it on ebay for like $70). note that there are also noise cancelling settings in teams that work well; I don't know about zoom -- (link) - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Mar 18, 09:11

    - I agree with Love Will Never Do, too! I also think Come Back to Me is super emotional. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Mar 18, 09:40
- Love Will Never Do Without You. It feels *genuine*. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 08:49 3
  - I have a tough time of objectively knowing if this is my favorite song of hers cause the first time that I memorably heard the song was the video - JD Mar 18, 08:56 [youtube] 2
    - Yeah, same here. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:03 1
      - How about this version for being completely opposite of the fully produced video? -- (link) - JD Mar 18, 09:16 [youtube]

- Good Grief, Who Cares, Music Rules, Pop Doesnt -- nm - mud Mar 18, 08:57 2
  - Like #1s are just pop culture rankings and don't matter? Or pop as a style isn't music and doesn't rule? -- nm - JD Mar 18, 08:59 1
