No, because the come back to the present and resume their lives, therefore they around all 30 years except the few days they were in the future. The problem is, their future selves (Old Marty and Old Shue) SHOULD have remembered going to the future and been like, hey, come on out of the bathroom, Marty, I know you're…

I'm also mourning the death of being able to just veg out on a game. One of my favorite things about gaming is immersion, that escapism is what makes a game for me. Playing in 30 minute bites make immersion difficult.

Wow. That's really cool. Why do they do that?

A few months ago, I picked up a gently used (35K!) 2005 911 and drove it home along the 101. Once you get out of the Napa area and get closer to, say, Garber, then there is a LOT less people and congestion, but the roads are still great.

The way I see it, the people from the movie aren't retarded, they're IGNORANT. They could know things, but instead they opt not to. It's about a culture that doesn't value knowing things anymore. A culture that had collectively decided not to bother learning because opinions are "good enough".

One of the ways I make it through the day is remind myself that 100 is the average IQ. That means 1 out of every 2 people you meet will have thinking skills that remain firmly ensconced in the double digits. And plenty fall well below even that.
