  The US’s incredible levels of prosperity back then was essentially a unique period of time created by extremely specific circumstances (i.e. the US was THE superpower, and the primary economic force on the planet for decades). There’s a reason the ‘baby boom’ happened then. It was literally a unique slice of world history.

  It is unrealistic to expect to ever return to that level. Comparisons between now and then are all disingenuous for that reason.

  Instead of framing the changes we want to make in terms of ‘but we had X back then’, they should simply be framed in terms of what improvements are beneficial, feasible, and sustainable, in the present.

  Mailing someone more letters than they’re capable of replying to is not equivalent to, nor a component of, gaining access to the inside of their home.

  It is obviously clickbait. It would take no more effort for that headline to say “model” where “one” is, but they wrote “one”, because the intention is to make you think it’s the exact same plane.

  The 10% of the time when it’s both folded and unfolded must be sublime.

  But you did say it. Everyone knows what the word is. You went out of your way for literally no reason, to accomplish nothing but making people wonder why you did such a pointless thing.

  I mean, it’s hard to know you’re ace before you become aware that sex is a thing most people want and seek, lol.

  That’s the majority of them, but ragebait articles aren’t written about them, so you have no idea who they are.

  Don’t be so easily manipulated by media.
