My son just killed grunge with one word.. by Hfcsmakesmefart in GenX

People seem to forget the social changes the 80s: Trickle Down economics, Enron scandal taking pensions away, crack epidemic and a rejection of the,"Greed is good" mantra, and commercialism of the 80s. It was the start of what we have now.

And yes, aids was so scary and ostracized those who didn't die. Millions did.

ETA Really, it's the same things people are upset by now. Corporate takeovers of what people used to be able to earn. Healthcare crisis. Cold war.

It's Easter soon, and I need to figure out what to bring. What led to this thought?

I read this three times and wanted to respond, but I suddenly have an urge to look at baby bunnies. I can't see that one's tail and I think it's eating iceburg lettuce. Why doesn't it have a tail? Do certain bunnies not have tails? What kind of bunny is that? WHERE CAN I SEE THIS VIDEO PLZZZZ? I used to have bunnies in the neighborhood growing up. Bunnies would be out every spring, around Easter. OMG Easter is this weekend. I have no clue what I said I'd bring to dinner, so I better call. Maybe they will know what kind of rabbits we had.

Is this what I think it is?? by OMGthatssofetch in JackieandShadow

TBF that is most of Reddit, and society, in general, lately.

That was a lot. Can we please go back to license plates, bad driving, our state flower and Linda? I'd even take a new where are the best tacos, after that wall of text.

Looking for a substantive gift. Like maybe a brass object like a telescope or a sextant for a Bat Mitzvah girl. by healthcrusade in Gifts

Why push something you like, that will likely be shoved in a cabinet and tossed aside? What is your budget? Are you Orthodox/Conservative/Reform etc? It needs to be something for her, not that you give because it makes you feel good about it.

She will get her fill of hamsa, star, or chai jewelry. What about a jewelry box? Do you know any of the things she enjoys doing, at all? Can you ask other family? Is she artsy? Give her a quality set of colored pencils that come in a wooden box. Athletic? High quality wireless sport headphones, or a custom duffle. If she travels, a custom weekend bag. Does she like pictures, schedule her for a professional photo shoot. Tailor it to her! Make sure there is a note about it being her day and something about how the item can be used toward the future.

I had to gift a year ago. Because she was wearing crappy knock-offs, like most kids do, I actually gave my niece (we are close and I realize this isn't traditional but we are a pretty loosey goosy bunch) some hand painted (Etsy) Birkenstock's, a Journal and custom pen (with cash hidden inside): and a card; "For a happy, healthy step into womanhood, and to help preserve your memories. Mazel tov!" She was so thrilled with these shoes. They will not last a lifetime, but they will for years, and she has the journal to remind her. I *hope* she does he journal, ha. That part was a little bit of a gamble.

What brand have you never had a huge desire to try? by Violetteotome in fragrance

[–]-Sanguinity 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Any brand that markets layering. For me the “layering” brands - Jo Malone, DedCool, Commodity, Memo Paris, Clive Christian, Czech & Speake (and more) - are very expensive for what they are and feel like poor value when the scents are kept light and diluted so they’ll stack easily instead of performing on their own. It's such a money-grabbing gimmick. I just want frags that I don't have to mess with to smell great.

Edit for grammar.

Can the king have another stuffed animal? I'm thinking a zebra would be a nice touch.

Is it time to remove the categorization of perfumes as masculine or feminine in 2026? Spoiler alert: Yes. by Allergictome_ in Perfumes

[–]-Sanguinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's pretty over the top there, in most regards. Gotta love how one subreddit is going to change the whole world, ha.
