  • The pickup-artist character is treated as a period marker. Mina argues his approach is less harsh than The Game, while others point to explicit negging; the disagreement remains.
  • Most-2011 choices include the cast’s career moment and Jacob’s metrosexual styling; the reversal of fashion makes Cal’s original loose clothing more current.
  • Driving the teenage babysitter home is proposed as a 2011 marker, with rideshare as the current alternative; a personal callback follows.
  • Further 2011 markers are Twilight alone, the Moore/Kutcher text, an older phone, answering machines and the babysitter-photo plot.
