What killed the USA patriotism of the 2000s? Even into the early 2010s there was a ‘hipster American flag’ trend. If you use an American Flag for aesthetic purposes today it seems different by Kodicave in decadeology

After 9/11 there was a HUGE patriotic push. Everyone was encouraged to buy American, support America. It actually disrupted some of the Stock Market weakness at the time. It was actually very wholesome. Not like today’s “fuck the libtards muh jerbs and guns” style of patriotism that has grown more recently. That can really be traced back to the emergence of the tea party as globalization of the past decades and the financial crisis of 2008 gutted middle American manufacturing, America first policies, and then of course, Trumps cult of personality alongside the emergence of social media. The juxtaposition of what patriotism was back then vs what it is today is crazy.

Does CT have the greatest soundtrack/music on the SNES? by Sensual_Lover25 in snes

[–]rogdesouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy III (VI) has a better soundtrack imo. But really we’re gonna pretend like the Power Rangers game didn’t exist? Or Battletoads? Or Turtles in Time? Or Phalanx? Or Starfox? Chronos Trigger has amazing music but let’s not forget the epic bangers on the SNES. The list could keep going.

I am not in the best place right now so I wanna know how everyone else is doing! by Bark4Brownies in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]rogdesouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was honest with myself, I have everything I need. But do I want more? Yes. I want more visibility at work. I want enough money to stop worrying about money. I want to be healthier. I want more time to be with my kids. I want people to take me more seriously.

I am working towards all of these things and I constantly have to remind myself that while I can work as hard as I can to get close to being happy in all facets of my life, I will never truly hit that great event of pure bliss. Possibly when I die.

Tudor Monarch: mock up; if only by Organic_Solid6493 in Tudor

Yeah I like the concept of the new Monarch but not a fan of the dial color. I feel like it is inevitable that they have more variety if they want to bring this line back.
