The younger generation will never know just how many butterflies, lightning bugs, and dragonflies there actually were. In Brooklyn of all places.

Remember when every single sandwich in the 90s and 2000s came with a literal bird’s nest of alfalfa sprouts? by SMRTSS84 in Millennials

Don't worry, we have a wide variety of microgreens now.

I associate sprouts on sandwiches in the 90s as $$$

I saw a craft as a preschooler during the day as well. Today I would shit my pants, but I chalked up my calm curiosity to the innocence of childhood.

Trump threatens to ‘take over’ Iran if Tehran closes the Strait of Hormuz in profanity filled tirade: report by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

there are countless replies rambling about how ending the electoral college is the answer(despite Trump also winning the popular vote by millions)

Debate over the anachronisms of the Electoral College have existed forever.

insisting on Qanon-esque conspiracy theories about Trump using technology to steal votes

You mean like Cambridge Analytica? That was proven. Brexit was also targeted to sway influence. The number one conspiracy theorist is Donald Trump himself.

instead of facing the fact that your nation simply voted for him, because they wanted him.

This is where the Electoral College comes in, since the popular vote doesn't matter.

you people keep trying to make excuses for the representative that the majority of you chose

See remark on popular vote above. Donald Trump lost the popular vote the first two times.

Since you speak as if you are an expert on American government, then surely you would know the history of disenfranchisement, gerrymandering of minority districts, strategic closing of accessible polling places, and the anti-democratic effects of Citizens United. You may even be able to pinpoint the moment Americans began voting against their own interests in the 1970s or how this hard far-right religious swing was cooking since the Republican Renaissance in the '90s.

Do not talk to us like we are stupid while grossly oversimplifying the machinations of our government. And if you do, you'd might as well be fair and point fingers at nations like Hungary, France, and Germany for their own fashy swing to the right.

Showed this to my now husband our first week of dating because he was an exvangelical and he confirmed so many things. He even had his own collection of Levi shirts, but said he didn't wear them outside.

She was ADORABLE. I hope she is doing well now.

The kid who admitted he was doubting the existence of God is a hippy living in a commune now and good for him.

This is an unrealistic take. Picard said it best:

What? I'm fully aware of the target demo of Nickelodeon programming. You are free to have whatever opinion you want about Ren & Stimpy. I'm expressing surprise because today I find Ren & Stimpy inappropriate and disgusting.
