Everyone always talks about how good the 90's were. What was bad about the '90s?

  • Just off the top of my head:

    Matthew Shepard
    Rwanda
    Ruby Ridge, Waco, Unaboms, and Oklahoma City
    Abortion clinic bombings
    Bosnia
    Rodney King / LA Riots
    Don't Ask, Don't Tell and DOMA
    Seattle WTO protest violence
    Columbine
    OJ

  • Ouais

    • How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach?

  • Ouais is more like 'yeah', not 'yes'.

  • Sure!

  • Nope. I started but didn't finish a PhD in physics, and only needed a Bachelor's to get into the program. You automatically earn the Master's along the way in some programs, usually after you pass the qual.

  • The thing is, my in-laws have plenty of money in the bank, plus two adult children who are very successful and would help them out if needed, no questions asked. It's not entirely rational - I think it's the uncertainty more than anything that has them scared. Which really sucks. :(

  • Kennett Square isn't exactly rural. It's near rural stuff but could arguably be considered an exurb of Philly, and there's quite a lot of wealth nearby. Around the election I saw about even amounts of Trump and Kamala signs.

    • What are some of your favorite "analog" hobbies or activities

    Jump

  • Gardening, weightlifting, makeup, swimming, colored pencils, healthy cooking, nail polish, kayaking, reading, brushing up on my French, practicing my guitar.

    • Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about many Americans constantly calling people "black" and "white" and making such a big thing about it?

    Jump

  • Didn't you already post about this?

  • It's really sad - my in-laws are in their mid-to-late 70s and are currently applying to jobs because they're convinced that Social Security will go away. I hate to see older folks so scared by this lunacy.

  • Actually yes! Fresh basil. I'm making a bruschetta chicken dinner tonight.

    • What does a week of groceries look like to you?

    Jump

  • I go grocery shopping once a week, and I'm buying just for two adults. Most things I get at Aldi, and some things at Giant if I don't like the Aldi version, or Aldi doesn't sell it. I do make a list ahead of time, but I buy mostly the same things every week.

    A typical aldi trip includes bananas, berries (rasp or blue usually), avocados, some kind of fresh green veg for dinner (typically spinach, asparagus, or green beans), bread, jaffa cakes, coffee, low-fat cheese, laundry detergent & fabric softener, windex, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, canned fire-roasted tomatoes (soooo many easy recipes with these!), sparkling water, eggs, egg whites, almond milk, yogurt, and pierogies. Then I typically get my meat at Giant (most of Aldi's meat is pretty gnarly), plus things like toothpaste, evaporated milk, sugar packets, paper towels, canned lentils (my Aldi doesn't carry these???), and a little bouquet of flowers. And then some random things I buy on Amazon, like my tea (yorkshire gold), farro, protein powder, low-fodmap ingredients, etc.

    I spend about $150 a week unless I'm out of something expensive like paper towels.

  • I think bird flu is a convenient excuse for price gouging, just like we saw during pandemic. He could easily address that if he wanted to. He just doesn't care.

  • More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women's fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I'd love that.
