Yaba daba noo! 😂

@SoLeRiMix Saturday morning cartoons was a fun experience, getting up at 7am to start five hours of your favorite shows, eating a huge bowl of sugar cereal in front of the tv set while sitting on the floor, wrapped in a blanket on chilly mornings. When they finished at noon you ate a grilled cheese sandwich and hot tomato soup for lunch then met your friends outside to play until the street lights came on, ate dinner, played board games or cards with the family, then bed.

@NativePortlander1970 In my time, you could do this whenever you wanted to. Thanks to Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon! However, weekend shows like "Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics", "DuckTales" and "Rugrats" special and "Aladdin" were the shows I could not miss at any cost.😇

I am glad that grew-up more with Outdoor games. Yes! My generation had video-games but we weren't as addicted as the folks today are. Though, expections were there. 😇

Gen-Z (2000 and onwards) would never understand this emotion.😔

@SoLeRiMix Honestly, after 1993, when Congress fucked up Saturday mornings, they haven't been the same.

@NativePortlander1970 The conclusion is, innocence and fun in Cartoons was ruined in 2000. Pokémon, insensitive content and Anime took over Cartoons. Almost every Cartoon channel by 2003 had more of Anime shows and less of classic cartoons.

Nothing wrong with trying something new but not caring about old fans is certainly disheartening. Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Mickey and Friends and The Pink Panther are my most favourite to date.😇

@SoLeRiMix I'd say that CGI ruined cartoons, classic hand drawn animation will always be the best.

@NativePortlander1970 Try explaining this to Gen-Z and they'll make fun of us. Well, nothing can be done. However, soon world would realise the meaning and importance of manual work. AI is taking over every industry. Unfortunately, lots of people would be jobless. May God help everyone...🙏

@SoLeRiMix Personally the writer's and actor's strikes makes me laugh my ass off, claiming AI will destroy their jobs and that they don't get paid enough. Oh please, even extras make more in one day just for showing up than I get for an entire disability check every month, and AI would be an improvement over the drivel they think up anymore.

@NativePortlander1970 I am sorry. I beg to differ. Their strike is right! I am an IT professional. I see the AI progress everyday. Trust me, it is a matter of a concern. Godfather of AI resigned from Google for a reason. The man wasn't kidding. His concern shouldn't be taken lightly.

Every talent or potential deserves a good pay cheque in return. Yes, their pay cheque may be a little more than your cheque but it does not change the fact, they are receiving less amount now. Generative AI is indeed a threat for lots of industries. I am worried because most businesses are opting for automation of business. I am working on some automation projects. Inside, I am not happy. People would lose job because the work folks like me are doing.

I struggle with decision-making everyday. What should I do? I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if someone else lost his/her job because of my work. I never thought world would get to this point one day.😔
