    26 y/o lol. Every time I see that I do the math in my head. 2026 - 26 = 2000. Never quite make it back to 1991 or before.

    We had someone running for city council on a platform of preventing communism because she knew what communism was like since she was adopted by an american family (Romania) in 1995. She is 34 y/o

      I was baby when the USSR was kicking around and all I remember from that time is the Berlin wall and some rumors and gossip about nuclear war, maybe, some day. So to be only 34 and be like “uh yeah I lived in the soviet union” is fool shit.
