  • Probably. I was born closer to the millennium and in the US. I don’t remember my peers having phones until at least middle school (11-14 years old)

    Teens definitely had them. But elementary school kids no. Not like now for sure. Maybe a few did but (if I recall, obviously I wasn’t paying bills then) US phone plans were quite expensive with many paying PER TEXT SENT. So for the kids that did have them probably couldn’t do much but call, so I never saw them taking them out or anything during class.

    It wasn’t uncommon for kids to play around with old PDAs or phones, but no active service so more a camera/shitty games.

    Then again maybe I just didn’t go to the higher income schools lmao.



  • Mostly accurate, except maybe the phone. Kids (10yo as shown by the meme) having phones was much less common.

    '95 kids may have had these later on as they went into highschool especially when there parents started getting early smartphones and handing down their Razr. But in 2005? Very rare.

    Actions speak louder than words tbh

    He has some sus takes about some things but as far as healthcare and connecting corporate greed to violence against society (that must be fought violently) he’s 100% right.

    I don’t think it’s productive to diminish what he did with some tech-bro tweets when he’d barely became an adult. Tweets don’t mean shit.




  • Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK?

    I’m definitely not saying it’s a common thing at all but US and western media really, super play up the image of the DPRK and the tension on the peninsula.

    And also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(South_Korea,_2017)

    They ran Kim Jae-Yeon for president. She once said:

    On 4 June 2012 during an interview with KBS, the emcee asked her to confirm her view towards North Korea. She answered, “If a person does not want to recognise North Korean regime, it means that he/she wants a war with them”. When the emcee also asked about what if North Korea attacks the South, she replied, “Still, we should not fight back.”

    She received 37 thousand votes. Not a lot, but they do exist.

    Any more left than them tend to get banned under “National Security” laws.

    Her heart’s in the right place but there are an absolute fuck ton of statues of dudes where the bulge/dick is worn from touching.

    For example:

    “Youth” (uhhhhhhh), Prague Castle, Czech Republic

    “Adam and Eve”, Monaco

    Cristiano Ronaldo, Funchal, Portugal

    And more that aren’t as famous I’m sure. Any statue with noticable genital features is gonna get this treatment no question.
