I was actually born at the "end" of it. I generally am interested in US-Soviet relations and how the Cold War/Communism became a major factor in political campaigns after WWII, specifically the Dewey-Truman upset.

It's funny, all through college I had either older people looking askance at me about why I'd be interested in "ancient" history or peers teasing me about being a Russian asset just for the interest... I just never thought the Cold War actually ended, and when I was in college in the late 2000s, that was a wild take to have lmao

Years and Years. A miniseries, but fantastic, and I never see people talking about it.

Staying housed is "getting yours"? Lmao, you're delusional. And this is coming from a homeless person. I do not begrudge people who do what they can while maintaining shelter in the dead of winter. Frozen corpses can't protest either, bud.

And while they're out there protesting for weeks, months, years, how are they going to feed their kids and keep them from freezing? Being unable to provide shelter and basic necessities to your children is a good way to lose them...

Lemme guess, they should protest about that? I guess now that they have nothing left to lose...

Jfc, you really don't understand why someone might prioritize stability for their family over torching the lives of everyone they love? Try some empathy, man.

Curious what is says about me that my answer has always been "the Cold War."

... Other than the fact that history feels far too present these days.
