90s kids aren't special. Every generation is nostalgic.
90s kids were over marketed with every need-to-have-item that our boomer parents wouldn’t buy for us because they grew up poor in the shadow of WW2, and now we’re willing to fork out the cash for everything we felt we missed in the 90s.

I think my coworker invited me to visit Spain today.
I responded by asking her if US boarders will be open at the time of the trip/Spain will let US citizens into the country at the time of the tip/US will let Spanish speaking US citizens back into the US when the trip end.
That's not a no.

These are the moments when chopping the pickle become practical.
It Happened To Me: there was only one pickle slice so I put the single pickle slice down the center of my sandwich and then had to gerrymander each bite so each bite had a little bit of pickle in it but not enough pickle because there was only one skinny slice of pickle for this wide sandwich

So stores that have no return policy for detective merchandise, what are you supposed to do? Is this just gambling on pants with zero idea if they'll fall apart after one wash?

This is what happens when you ask the blurry silhouette of a person in a skin tight suit in your peripheral vision to "get it done" no matter how moronic the request or how unqualified they are to place an accurate order at kinkos

If the playbook is "say things you believe in that voters have been waiting to hear for a long time" maybe do try and rip it off?
A lot of the takes about why Mamdani's approach won't work elsewhere are so funny to me.
What I hear them saying is, "Mamdani spoke Hindi and nobody in middle America speaks Hindi" which 1. isn't true but also nobody is telling you to rip off his exact playbook

This explains both the chronic stomach aches and headaches I had that my parents ignored my daily complaints about.
If you were not alive in the 90's, you don't realize that no one back then drank water. The idea of hydration didn't exist yet, if you were thirsty there was soda or some kind of very bright blue sugar water and that was it

My fav is when I put a burrito in the air fryer and set it to 400 degrees, when I take it out I assume that after 30 seconds it won't be 400 degees inside.
Love being well into my 40s, and decently capable at certain aspects of life, but still burning my mouth when I bite into a microwaveable burrito like 78% of the time

The historic retelling of Prop 50 is outragous:
Texas GOP led legislature redistricts in such a horrific way that democratic leadership leaves the state to try to stop it. GOP doesn't give civilians a chance to vote on it.
California civilians overwhelming vote to redistrict to counter Texas.
