For me, I’d love to see a Texas where Ann Richards is governor and Molly Ivins is one of the best active columnists in the country.
@abovemybelow
Also communists and Russia
@Island_Martha @abovemybelow Communist you could at least argue, but Russia? That's a country, it's morally neutral. Putin is an asshole.
@StephanSchulz @abovemybelow
Our experience here in Estonia is that there are large numbers of Russian who could not in a million years be described as morally neutral.
@abovemybelow Sadly that wasn't a prevailing belief when I was a teen. My highschool was full of Nazi apologia and conspiracy theories. From "The Nazis helped rebuild the German economy and protected it from Communists!" to "Hitler was a gay Jew"
@abovemybelow
The Selective Service military draft.
@abovemybelow republicans willing to work with democrats.

Disgraced Presidents who go quietly into retirement and then die without anybody really noticing.

@abovemybelow Cheap, low-powered second-hand motorbikes that allowed country kids like me to get around. But without the pollution 🙂

@pthane @abovemybelow What’s unfortunately also needed is a road without unnecessarily heavy and dangerous vehicles to drive them on. Which I guess was at least more the case in your childhood than it is now.

I have a friend that bicycled to his girlfriend in the next town when he was young. On the normal road. That would be extremely dangerous today.

@ahltorp @abovemybelow I had to cycle to school from age 8, about 2.4 miles. Then from 11 5 miles to secondary school. Getting a moped at 16 was a natural progression. Shame kids today don't get that freedom.

#Loesung #Nr063 der #Henkelmann anstelle #Plastik folie und #Tupper Kann auch die nierenförmige Form des NATO-Feldbestecks haben, #Dabbawala System, #Bento Box, wie Flachmann für Jackentasche designt, modular etagenweise aufstockbar, dicht genug für Flüssiges.
Und vor allem ge #norm t. All die #recup und #refill Systeme derzeit sind nach der Testphase weitgehend wieder vergessen, weil jeder Laden sein eigenes System hat und sowieso aus dickem Plastik, das war #Symbolpolitik
@abovemybelow I miss the climate of my childhood, too.
