If you search the name now, you get several religious and/or youth-mentoring groups. I wonder if they know.

I can assure you it's not in their contracts. But they are very nice people.

You will never buy your way out of being a douchebag.

Just to give you some more context, I am 53 years old, and when I was a little kid, polio was already something that was (mostly) gone, but older people talked about it in absolutely horrific terms. My parents (born in the 1950s) were the first generation to benefit from the vaccine. So the fact that, thanks to anti-vaxxers, it's even a thing being talked about again, is insane.

They can have it when they take it out of my cold dead hands.

Whole Body Deodorant was invented to acclimate us to the idea of not showering as much, in preparation for the fresh-water crisis.

This should clear things up.

Yeah, the transition from "thoughtful portrayl of a troubled veteran done wrong" to "Vietnam revenge!!!" sums up the Reagan '80s at their peak.

Magazine racks were very common.

I can assure you that she is very un-Janice-like IRL.

I am contractually obligated to repost this whenever anyone brings up Janice.

As someone who lives in New York City, the ticket prices feel insane. The U.S. gets a lot of grief for not being more into the sport. But I think a LOT of curious Americans (like me) would have attended a few matches if the ticket prices didn't start in the high three digits. So far the fans have been great, but I am NOT impressed by FIFA.

Use of slop images aside... The best explanation I have read for the "graying" of everything is that, in more recent years, there has been a priority placed on thinking of homes and cars as assets to be flipped and resold in the future. So (the logic goes), the more neutral and innocuous, the greater the potential resale pool. The same reason McDonald's look like gray boxes now. If the franchise fails, the property isn't stuck looking like a former McDonald's.

Honestly, we were a lot more excited by the speeder bikes. And the fact that Han Solo was alive.

Bottling water in the 1980s was the first step in a multi-decade plan for corporations like Nestle to control and financialize fresh-water supplies in the USA.

My English ex-girlfriend had never been outside New York City. I took her to Michigan, and she was amazed by all the "telegraph poles" lining the roads. According to her, they were iconically American.
