Who wants in? We can talk about what is was like to write a letter to your grandma or having no other way to ask someone out other than by calling them on the phone. Or checking out movies at Blockbuster or whatever your national equivalent was (we usually checked out videos at the grocery store, actually).

We’re cool because we can actually remember the USSR and “East” Germany. Although not as cool, I can remember when homophobia and transphobia was so much more widely accepted and the “default” position for most Americans. Not as cool.

fedposting How do you do, fellow Gen-Xers and X-ennials? Which Seattle grunge band's vinyl albums are you spinning on this lovely day while decked out in your finest flannels? I am partial to Stone Temple Pilots' Core, particularly side B track 4, " cracker man"

I love the idea of some 42 year old Fed who monitors this site and hates us all, but genuinely likes talking about 90s music and movies with us.

I mean, for real, let’s say you get paid a full time salary just to watch this site. It’s obvious just being here for 15 minutes, we aren’t a threat to anyone other than like, dispensing general communist ideals. And honestly I don’t think the feds really care that much about that.

You would have to realize your job is a joke and you’re getting paid to do nothing. I want think hypothetical fed would be like “ok look, I AM a fed. But let me just sit here and shitpost and grift the FBI’s money, and I won’t actually do anything”
