I remember it coming into popularity right around when I started highschool; 2010ish.

Smart phones, home computers, and laptops were slowly becoming more common, at least at my school at the time. It lead to this shift from texting constantly to being terminally online at home after school. I still remember having a difficult time keeping up with the most popular le meme at any given moment because they evolved so rapidly over the course of like a year or two.

I remember eating them in the early 2000s and then them vanishing from nearly ever store. I still see them in candy shops, but rarely and usually tucked away on the bottom shelf. I also remember those thick, bubble gum, cigars.

We use those large metal bins used in food service because the metal makes it so easy to clean.

Edit:

Our local Giant Eagle marked them up to around 9-10.00/dozen for a few weeks before marking them back down to 6.00. Im also skeptical the peak was only 6.00.

I dont usually have a strong sense of brand loyalty, but I absolutely love Shark. We replaced our hoover commercial with a shark pet vaccuum and it has been amazing. We later got the shark pet carpet cleaner because our small bissel just fell apart one day and love that, too.

But, I think Shark is an Americam brand.

For me, yes, but thats because im a heavy search engine user and like the customization features. We pay for the duo plan for both my husband and I. My husband doesnt use it much, maybe a handful of searches a week, but me on the otherhand I far exceed the free search limit with how often I search for things. I also love having the ability to block, lower, or raise a specific site in my results. Very satisfying to open up a shit site, see its shit, and then block it from ever appearing in my search results again.

When we replaced our computers years ago we used the old parts to build a low-spec, but functional, computer to hook up to the TV. Paired with a wireless mouse/keyboard we dont really notice a difference in ease of use compared to a streaming device.

As an Americam who was subjected to the pledge in highschool, I thought the same and refused to stand for it starting in middle school. The school cant force you to do the pledge of allegiance, but they dont exactly tell students…or teachers.

Every school year id run into a teacher who took sitting during the pledge to be the same as taking a dump on the flag and send me to the front office only for them to send me right back to class because im within my rights to sit. One teacher in particular angrily “lectured” me, a 16 year old, about how her husband served over seas and me sitting is the same as telling him to get fucked more or less. By my junior year the office staff started making excuses as to why i needed to stand like “teachers check dress code during the pledge” or “they check attendance”, but I continued to sit anyway since these excuses were always bullshit.

My favorite detail about this post is the cyrillic writing used for Trump, Трамп, spells out Tramp in the thumbnail. (Learning Ukrainian, not fluent but feel comfortable with cyrillic alphabet)

Except you’re just flat out wrong. Genitals do not = chore preference. Vaginas aren’t screaming out “oh please, let me stay home and clean while my husband goes to work” because its a fucking a vagina, not a personality.

second this. That book really helped me understand wtf happened during my childhood and gain a sense of identity I had never felt before.

The school bus only runs its route twice; once in the morning to school and once on the way back immediately after school. If you miss it, then you’re on you’re own.

I did after school programs in high school and I had to find my own way home. I remember frequently waiting in front of the school for nearly 2 hours after a short club meeting to be picked up by my mom because I lived 6 miles away and she worked the classic 9-5.

Edit: My home city doesnt have public transportation, so no city bus.

I don’t see the issue here.

To add, if you miss the school bus in the morning you cant just walk over to another bus stop and take a different school bus, at least in the district i grew up. You’re assigned a specific bus to ride before and after school and taking a different bus could mean detention to a full ban from riding the bus because it’s “a privledge, not a right” according to the district.

I ran into issues every school year because my parents were separated with shared, joint, custody, but my school district couldnt grasp the idea of me living in two homes, in two completely different parts of the city, and needing two completely different bus routes. They kept insisting I could only have 1 home address, but I literally swapped homes every Friday so I lived in each 50% of the year.
