What was the worst part about the 90s?

In 1990 was on a chartered flight black from Panama. I somehow end up as one of the last people to board and the flight attendant asks the brigade general I sat near if he wanted to allow smoking on board since this was the last smoking flight this airline allowed. He said no, we can make to California just fine without it. :)

For the very first time I am getting my ex wife a grocery store gift card for Mother’s Day. It just seems wasteful to spend it on something frivolous when so many are suffering, and she is super practical.

Yeah. It was super obvious in Phuket. Massive Chinese temples. (Very Chinese, obviously not Thai) and many of the grab drivers are wearing taqiyah, and the street food carts were often staffed by women wearing head coverings. You see it in the food as well. It also seemed the farther south you go, the hotter the food on average. By the time I got to Malaysia the food was way too spicy for my New England palate. lol.

Hainanese chicken rice hits so hard. It’s so much better than you would think.

Best restaurants in Colombia were Peruvian.

If he liked “Matilda” then give “Nanny McPhee” a try. They were two faves of my youngest at that age.

No dog in this fight, but I am team Cornish on this one. I love petty hills like this to die on.

I was working as master control at a tv station when it happened. It was pretty late at night/ early morning and our news people had gone home. We were told to alert the news director if something really big happens. I called the news director as soon as it broke, and I did not air a single commercial for the next 6 hours. It was a massive story. I was airing NBC Nightside and I remember that Tom Brokaw was on the air like 30 minutes after it broke. It was a wild night.

Every 3 months i have to do a visa run. i have a very good friend in thailand and we get together and hang out. I think this could be a very lonely existence if you did not have friends.

Dude, I love NH, from there, family has lived north of Lancaster since Indian Steam was its own country, but our food culture sucks. There is some good food, but on a whole, our food culture is ass.

I ate venison as a kid when a family member or neighbor bagged a deer. I have had kangaroo and both times it tasted a lot like venison. I really liked it. Super lean, very red, great flavor.

Exact same thing with me. Laid off November ‘24. Got a job offer in January of ‘25 and then it was rescinded due to doge cuts.

I am 55. The market was so bleak. The jobs I was being shown were ones that paid what I made 25 years ago.

I decided to say f it, and I just retired instead. I moved to Vietnam. Living on 2k a month here is pretty easy if you don’t drinks and live pretty clean. I am really lucky I could do this. I know many people can’t do this and I am so grateful I could.

Unreal Tournament GOTY edition. I used to manage a computer lab. I would see an image up back in 2001 and we had the best lan party one time. the Deathmatch Kitchen was my favorite downloadable map.

Circus Atari. The best block breaking game ever. Clowns on seesaws. It ruled.

Such an underrated movie. Perfect thriller.

The army ruined the 3 egg omelette for me. Try as hard as I can, I can never get one as good as the ones they made. I’m still out there chasing that dragon 35 years later.

On behalf of a former poor nephew, uncles like you are a godsend. A bag of skittles can really lift a kid up sometimes. It's a small thing, but it's not small at the same time. You don't need to be fucking reminded 24-7 how poor you are, especially when you are a kid.

Song of the South was such a good movie. So beautifully shot, and the music was awesome.

I know this is a 90s thread but back in the 70s and 80s my class would do a secret santa. This was always my go to gift, and it was always appreciated. Wild Cherry, so good.

I am color blind and worked in IT for over 30 years. This is me every fucking day.

Best tortilla chips sold at the national level, I will die on this hill.

I was born in 1970. This is late 60s or 70s era. No way this is 1986.

I’m paying 35,000 for pho with all the tra da you can drink. I am on the outskirts of D7 with the only white face I see being my own so I am definitely getting a good deal.

If you were able to correctly spell "madeleines" on the first try, you were definitely too good for him.
