    A headline that has been true for at least 50 years.

    Spoiler: Historically, they usually succeed.

      Me: it hasn’t been that long! It started with Nixon!

      Also me: Nixon was president in 1973, which was 50 years ago, dumbass.

      Also also me: Now you’re going to tell me that the 90s were more than 10 years ago, aren’t you?

        I see we share a sense of time. I also think events from the early 00’s happened a “couple years back.”

        My daughter called the 90s “a long time ago” the other day. I said to her, “what?! The 90s were yesterday!” She’s 13, she doesn’t understand the challenges of being 2 Legit 2 Quit.
