who has got any inspo websites on tap for web 1.0 design, like those pre-wikipedia websites that would be maintained by one super weird guy who was obsessed with the civil war that public school teachers would tell you to go for information in like 2000

It feels crazy that the Definition of Middle Class seems to have changed. It used to be if you were Middle Class, you would own a home, two cars, a cabin in the mountains, have a nice portfolio of investments for retirement, and maybe even a boat. Now Middle Class is if you can afford to live in an apartment with only two incomes, and no roommates, and still pay all your bills.

(Talking to the youths)

No you see kids, this episode of DS9 was filmed in the 90s, before the advent and normalization of surveillance capitalism

At the time, if an agent of a foreign state were to tell you that he knows what you had for breakfast, it would have been considered vaguely threatening, and not perfectly normal like nowadays
