Back to the Future II question

Marty leaves 1985 to 2015, but critics say it is impossible for 1985 Marty to meet old 2015 Marty since Marty disappeared for 30 years.

If you travel into the future, how does it work — would you have disappeared for those years you skipped?
Except Marty successfully returns to 1985 at almost the same moment he left and thus ages normally to reach 2015, so those critics just don't understand the idea of time travel the movie is posing.

Future Marty should also be able to remember having time traveled and meeting himself.

The Terminator and Timecop also follow those same rules.

Using the very different Avengers movies rules, a future-traveling Marty would be visiting a completely different Marty in a separate timeline. In this case older Marty would have no memory of that specific encounter.

Only if you don’t come back. Otherwise the timeline continues as it should.

Someone explain the appeal of crossword puzzles. I enjoy the brain teasers as much as the next guy, but crossword puzzles?

Solitaire sucks cuz it’s challenging, but I get how it can be somewhat engrossing.

For single player card games, ‘pyramid 13’ is more enjoyable.

I feel like I need to do these things, like sudoku, to keep my brain sharp. Does anyone else sense their mental capacity slipping?

I’ve been having way more brain lapses than usual and it’s kinda scary. I see that shit happening to my parents. Not fun.

Yes, me too. And they do say that doing puzzles and word games and so forth are supposed to help.

Only natural for intelligence to slip over time. Gotta change routines and engage the mind however you can

I was always more of a minesweeper guy. At my peak I could clear the easy level in under 15 seconds.

I find myself getting like those crusty old scouts in the McGinn articles, talking about "the guard from Michigan State a few years ago" because they can't remember his name. :lol
